Otep will be releasing a 10th anniversary vinyl pressing of “Hydra” on October 6. The effort can be pre-ordered on standard black and apple red vinyl.
Otep commented:
“Hydra is a very unique and special album to me. Out of all nine albums, it’s only the second concept album I’ve written besides House of Secrets, which was an exciting challenge to undertake: adapting a novella into songs and to transcribe it as the main character herself.
I did a lot of research into the minds of serial killers, thrill killers, and mass murderers. One of the most impactful moments of research was listening to the Ted Bundy tapes, which had been retrieved from an old tape recorded and played in mono (so only in my left ear) as he whispered where he had hidden the head of one of his youngest victims.”
This news comes as Otep is preparing to release her new album “The God Slayer” on September 15. As previously reported, that effort will feature several originals and various covers.
