Otep bass lines

[queenofthedepths]

I'm just listening to their latest album, the_Ascension, and the bass lines are much more prominent and interesting than the older stuff, so I wondered if they had a new bassist... off I go to Wikipedia, and apparently the bassist is a founding member and also writes all of the music! Not sure what to make of that, but it's damned cool

I thought you had misspelled Opeth for a second there (silly me) but then off I went to youtube to have a listen. And damn you are right.

There is something about a woman that can growl like that, that makes me go weak at the knees. :wub:

Wow the bass line at 1:31

Thank you for pointing out such a cool band, I am now currently listening to everyone of their songs I can find

Got any particular song/album you recommend?

I strongly don't think, that the man misspelled the name... Because latest Opeth's work is called Watershed

Nah - Otep's a different band - not very Swedish or proggy! I saw them at Ozzfest in 2002, liked them enough to get their album & EP. Otep Shamaya's a pretty impressive frontwoman.

Good to know they're still going, haven't checked out the new stuff yet, I'm assuming it's a bit different - their older material was good, but pretty much of its era.

Jon.

Let me head there for a gander... I thought this was a misspelling of [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=90G0mHx3auU"]Oteil[/url]. -_-

I much preferred the uber heavy bass tone on Sevas Tra.

I used to really like the band and Otep Shamaya is a great front woman -equal parts scary and gorgeous- but they don;t seem to have progressed one bit since 2002 when their debut album came out.

This is more like it [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0epEAyyzyyA&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0epEAyyzyyA...feature=related[/url]
