The band originally formed as a four-piece nu metal band and were invited to play Ozzfest before they had even signed to a label after Sharon Osbourne witnessed a brief part of their live performance. They've since played Ozzfest several times.
Otep have since released six full-length albums featuring many session musicians including Greg Wells, Joey Jordison of Slipknot, Koichi Fukuda of Static-X, Emilie Autumn, Tony Campos of Soulfly and Asesino (ex-Static-X), and Ulrich Wild. Their first three albums, Sevas Tra, House of Secrets, and The Ascension, were released on Capitol Records. However, after the label's merging with Virgin Records, Otep, along with many other bands, were released from their contracts with Capitol in 2007. Two years later, Otep signed with Victory Records and released their fourth album, Smash the Control Machine, which included a reunion with former members Mark "Moke" Bistany on drums and Rob Patterson on guitar. The album also featured Koichi Fukuda on piano and Emilie Autumn on violin.
Atavist was the first album not to feature longtime bassist Jason "eViL J" McGuire who left the band on September 30, 2010, the personnel consisted of session musicians Rani Sharone, Gil Sharone, Tony Campos, Collyn McCoy, Ulrich Wild, and Markus Estrada. On the tour supporting the album, her band consisted of support musicians courtesy of the supporting band and labelmates on the tour, Destrophy. The band is now mainly Otep Shamaya.
In 2011, Otep toured as a supporting act along with Earth Crisis for Cavalera Conspiracy. She also wrote and released a new book of poems titled "New Word Order" in December 2011.
In 2013, Otep released her sixth studio album titled Hydra on January 22 through Victory Records.

Jonestown Tea
Otep Lyrics
And it sounds like... Armageddon
Sounds like... Armageddon
Sounds like... Come & drink with me
Come & drink with me
And I remember him fucking me.
And I remember liking it
I didn't know any better,
And I remember the smell, and the pain, & the shame
And I remember being afraid and thinking everyday...
Every single day that it was my fault.
Oh but what happened to that little girl,
Who used to dream of one day ruling the world,
Who used to draw pretty pictures,
In my room beneath the moon
Destroying to create
Softly praying to god,
What do I do now?
What do I do now?
As I secretly masturbate...
But then I'd hear his hooves coming down the floor
With a bible in his hand...
softly opening my door and he'd say...
Daughter! the day of your atonement is due!
Well there's 3 million sinners out there...
And that includes you!
No daddy don't!
Leave me alone!
No I don't want to be free!
So take your dick out of me!
Please take your dick out of me!
I'm bleeding, it's not fair
You see there's this little place I like to go,
I like to run and hide deep inside,
Where all the nightmares are real,and all the monsters come alive,
Oh, but the things I've seen in soft, soft visions and terrifying prophecies,
Like serpents on the take & gods coming in all sizes & shapes
Nothing seems fulfilling anymore
Well your temples are swollen in deceit & the body of your missionary
He's rotting...
Rotting in defeat mama?
Mama!
Are the aliens coming to take us away? [mama?]
Is Armageddon gonna happen again today?
Look what you did to me! Why did you do it to me?
How could you do it to me! Why did you do it to me?
I will not cry. I will not cry
I prefer to die than live this life of lies!
Kill what you can... Challenge everything.
Vengeance is mine.
Hey...I'm sorry... baby...
Please come back inside... we can laugh a little...
Live & die
No wait. see, eye got this hot pot of Jonestown tea &
Its been brewing for you & me
Oh, it only takes one sip
Come one baby
Surrender your lips
I can take you someplace nice
I can take u...someplace NICE.
Breed my disease be my disease and vengeance will be mine
Its closer than you think...
So I entered his room at 32 past noon
With my little ritual knife...
I cut out his tongue
Liberated his wife
She loved me for it other world woman,
Well, that's what she called me [destroyer] the one who sets yo free
[Cum & drink with me]
We all die like cartoons, surrender your children,
Kids who like to kill, lies
Sounds like... Armageddon
Sounds like... Come & drink with me
Come & drink with me
And I remember him fucking me.
And I remember liking it
I didn't know any better,
And I remember being afraid and thinking everyday...
Every single day that it was my fault.
Oh but what happened to that little girl,
Who used to dream of one day ruling the world,
Who used to draw pretty pictures,

Craving for your mother to come and help you when she knows she invited an animal into her life...it’s sickening. This song has got me through so many nights full of hatred and rage. Meeting Otep was the highlight of my life because she was so chill and cool in fort Meyers. She gets it. To all the kids that have been abused- she gets it!!!!!!!❤️.

I hear you on that!!

it's no coincidence that daddy is in the suggestions, since both of them are unbelievably dark and haunting. bravo to both korn and otep for sharing such personal songs with us

I used to listen to this song to confront the one who took away my innocence. It saved my life. I learned to love myself and to feel this burden no more. This song gave me liberation. It taught me to confront my demons die to myself pick myself up again and love myself again. I survived. In the words of otep I’m alive . We aren’t victims anymore we are free. Vengeance will be mine
Sammy Draven
As a CSA survivor... I am speechless. She put it in words. she put our feelings into words and sounds of anguish.

i have been an extreme Otep fan since 2003. the scariest part of THIS song is its a big REALITY of things that actally happen in the world we live in. shes an amazing artist.
end game
@Redbird I think it did happened and I think she killed the guy. Because she quotes it practically in all their songs and she never even revealed her name.
Adyren Lyn
It doesn't matter if it "actually" happened what matters is the message.
Bethy Felder
Beth Felder lol this vivid trust me.... it happened.
