Otep fans, often referred to as “The Tribe” won’t have to go too long without something new from her before her new album releases next year. On November 5 the poet/singer/activist will release her first-ever live album, titled
Sounds like Armageddon, a title all too fitting.
Otep has always been very vocal in her political views and such a title just seems right for a live album from Otep.
Fans will be ecstatic when they see the setlist from this concert-turned-CD. Surprisingly the majority of the songs, with the exception of “Fists Fall,” are all from albums prior to
Atavist, Otep’s latest release- something fans of her older material will eat up.
Fans who have never had a chance to see Otep will love this record because it truly shows what an Otep show is all about. This is a great look at the live side of Otep and makes you want to go to a show right now.
So go out and buy this album when it releases (don’t download it because a physical album just sounds better anyway), put it in your CD player, crank it up to max, and let the Armageddon begin!
