Ghost Cult Keefy caught up with Otep Shamaya of OTEP to discuss the new album – “The God Slayer”  – out now via Cleopatra Records! OTEP discusses the journey to the new release, overcoming tragedy in the last few years, choosing which artists to cover, the one cover song that didn’t make the album, looking back at Nu Metal and its current popularity, her return to touring, the new vinyl version of “Hydra” and more!
