The God Slayer by Otep
I’ve loved Otep’s music since discovering the album “Sevas Tra” — with that insane album cover being the thing that brought me in. Earlier today (yesterday) I listened to the recently-released The God Slayer, made up of half original songs and half covers. Loved it, although Sevas Tra has been — and remains — my…
