![]() This time as the badass that (s)he always is - that badass that would punch you in the mouth if she had to but loves ya all in the same.Ĭinematics as usual. I took a deep breath and I geared myself up for what was about to come - what I came for. Luckily, I was wrong, and I changed my mind just as the drums were being brought out. There was one point that I was going to leave because I thought that was the end of the show. ![]() When everyone around you is conversing and you're the only one by yourself, sometimes it gets kind of weird, especially for someone who's extremely sociable most of the time. ![]() Having been transmuting life and shedding the chains of dread that San Francisco had put upon me - I stood at the corner of the floor, awkward and alone at the end of the set, deciding to feel into it anyway - and be with it. Bringer of Death and Goddess of Destruction now present. Soon enough, my human form had turned into a headbanging mass of relentless chaotic energy. I felt like I was at a PRSPECT/European night - and I "lost myself" in the frequencies.

I love Otep, and a metal show is the exact prescription that I'm looking for.Īlways divinely orchestrated - especially considering that I didn't even have to look for this one. I'm not the same person as I was when I saw Otep the last time - I'm going to let it be what it is.
