Los Angeles California's Otep has signed with Austrian-based Napalm Records. Producer Howard Benson will be handling the productions duties on the band's new album that is due out in 2016.

Otep commented on joining the Napalm Records Roster: "Signing with Napalm Records is one of the most exciting alliances I've ever made. I haven't felt this excited to write a new album since 'Sevas Tra.'

"There's a lot of work to do, a lot of music to write, a lot of things to say, a lot of injustices to confront and a lot of madness to summon and capture. To be able to forge this sacred alchemy with the dark brilliance of producer Howard Benson is a dream come true."

Napalm Records A&R Demetri Benoist commented about the signing of Otep: "Beyond excited to be working with such a polarizing artist who stands for something and is not afraid to speak their mind. This is a new beginning in Otep's history and Napalm Records is committed to making it the most successful! Let the Otep Revolution begin."

Unfortunately, it'll just be rehashes of the same ol' Otep lines about being tortured, fighting back, "we are the children blah blah blah," and so on and so forth.

I mean if that's your thing then more power to you. It's not that she's bad at what and how she writes... I think she's actually very creative with her wordplay and she does the angry growly thing quite well. It's just so damn repetitive after all these years.
