I was 13 when I came across this song. It was the first time I've ever seen a woman singing metal. She showed me that we're made for this genre and I'm incredibly thankful for that.
Yes, that's right. I am a man of 60 years living in South Asia, and its the first time I have seen a female singing heavy metal this way. I knew about few female artists like Suzi Quatro, Lita Ford, Vixen etc who were on the hard rock music genre but never heard of a female heavy metal hard rock singer like Otep Shamaya until recently. This lady heavy metal artist is really good and her talents are equal to the other highest ranked heavy metal artists of today! Sorry about the late comment.
Me too. I found out about Otep Shamaya much recently but since then I listened to many of her songs. Her songs are very good and equal to or better than the music of some highest ranked or acclaimed metal bands of today. I too have much respect for Ms.Otep Shamaya.
"Ghostflowers" by Otep. Its a really good hard hitting heavy metal song. I found out about this band much more recently. The main vocals are by Ms.Otep Shamaya, the lady heavy metal singer who has many talents. It's very rare to find a female artist doing heavy metal stuff and she is doing it quite right! This band deserves much more acclaim than this, because they are in the same class as the highest ranked heavy metal, hard rock bands of today. Sorry about the late comment.
I just stumbled on this band while listening to one of my favorite Pandora radios. completely blew my mind. I know good music when i here it and this is the best I've heard so far.
My daughter got me into Otep. I took her to The Whiskey so many times when she was a teenager. Otep is a BADASS. We even had a cat named “ Evil Jay” lol. Good times. She is amazing live
This is precious. I was only a teenager back then but I still have this rage inside me. And I thank otep everyday for giving me this as an alternative to murdering people around me.
So beautiful,so full of rage and fire.brilliant artist and musician unparallelled by any Ive ever seen.Such powerful screams that evoke deep emotion in me every time I listen to her...
I saw otep live in Portland Oregon and it was just so awesome to see them perform. The band's that were opening acts as well as the one's that were touring with Otep were surprisingly well paired to be in the lime light and held up to a high standing level of quality that with time and more professional developmentally appropriate practice in the public eye on and off stage could go far with a solid career in the music industry touring with their own unique style and opening artists to pump up the volumeof the crowd's interests rising the anticipation for the time to have the band everyone came to see play
When I first heard this I didn't think I could relate I just loved the song, but it was my uncle that took advantage later in my life. But I totally get it. And I play it even more for release.
Patricia Moreno I havent listen to them ever this is my first time and omg they suuuck lol jk I love this kind of music and omg man I'm probably gonna be the same way when i start listening to them more im the same way when people talk smack about Marilyn Manson and miw ext. But im not hating at all I love opet
led guitarist gives an enthusiatic expression(1:50) when he begings to play his guitar in distortion,love that moment. its the 8th time,im watching it here. i watched more then 10 times when i found this video here in youtube for the first time.
@@shieldmaiden1318 Lmao! My adult son grew up hearing me blast metal n he listens to plenty like this and so much death metal. I can only do a bit of death... some of those AC lyrics shocked tf outta me years ago. Now my hearing is bad n it's already hard to hear the lyrics sometimes. 😂 Chr!st I miss 40 years ago!!!!
@ShogaNinja To be fair, there WERE more female-fronted metal bands before Evanescence than what Lita Ford put out .. Power Symphony, Hanzel und Gretyl, Hellion, White Skull, Holy Moses, Girlschool, Bitch, er..L7, kinda... hell, I think Gwar had a female vocalist a few times. Probably a lot more that I never heard of. The thing is, they never got any recognition. But they did exist, it's not fair to assume they didn't :P
@koztah Of those Hanzel and Gretyl was the best example. I struggle to call L7 metal (it's more punk/alternative). All of them had cult followings but of those, Lita Ford was the only mainstream artist. Slymenstra Hymen (of GWAR) was not really a vocalist, though she did do a couple songs. She was their fire dancer. My point was that now it's ok to be a chick metal singer (probably because of Evanescence) and that it's cool. The Agonist, Otep, Arch Enemy, Walls of Jericho, Draconian, etc...
and what do you all really understand about mrs shamaya? yeah she might love the ladies and love the music that is beautiful but deadly............i am jusy messing with all of you. i love shamaya, and i hope to hear more from her in the future!!!! thank you (shamaya) otep, keep up ther good work!!!

Same here I will always love Otep!! My first concert I ever went to what a great memory ❤
Her and the band Kittie. The OG queens of modern heavy metal
@@janath9118 I'm late but check out Jinjer if you haven't.
I have so much respect for Otep Shamaya...she went through a lot in her life and found her salvation in metal.
Me too. I found out about Otep Shamaya much recently but since then I listened to many of her songs. Her songs are very good and equal to or better than the music of some highest ranked or acclaimed metal bands of today.

Ok
And now she's a liberal 😢
@@JohnCoffins she always has been and she has that right
@@JohnCoffins She's not a right wing fascist? Shocking........
OTEP, SEMBLANT,JINJER and In This Moment
Great female vocal bands!!!
Crisis. Gospel of witches.
Every time I hear Evil J's bass I jizz rainbows from the awesomeness.
i love this song. still rocking all the time years later.🍻
Yes, you are right.
the bassist in this band is a monster player

This song still gives me goosebumps. Such an incredible screaming.
I just stumbled on this band while listening to one of my favorite Pandora radios. completely blew my mind. I know good music when i here it and this is the best I've heard so far.
i listen to this song almost everyday, and it never gets old, it always makes me "happy" everyday!!!
My daughter got me into Otep. I took her to The Whiskey so many times when she was a teenager. Otep is a BADASS. We even had a cat named “ Evil Jay” lol. Good times. She is amazing live
I love her art so much. Love seeing her emotions in her videos
This is precious. I was only a teenager back then but I still have this rage inside me. And I thank otep everyday for giving me this as an alternative to murdering people around me.
So beautiful,so full of rage and fire.brilliant artist and musician unparallelled by any Ive ever seen.Such powerful screams that evoke deep emotion in me every time I listen to her...
Yes, you are right. I agree.
Sorry about the late comment.
I was blown away the first time I heard this. Remember thinking 'This just keeps getting better!'
This song its self has saved me but this whole band has :) Im learning this song on guitar :)
U gotta see them live wow
0T3P is brutal to the core. their videos are always fantastic.
I'm pretty sure this is one of the greatest songs ever made.
It is. This video kicks ass 🤘
Otep is so Beautiful.
The bass definitely sounds like LD 50 Mudvayne and there isn't anything wrong with that. Good song!
All instruments sounds like similar to The New Game album of Mudvayne.

I feel like the intro could've been a whole a song on it's own. It would've been beatiful.
Hard to believe this is 8 years old already
I know I miss this shit
+LIL-countdown ya man its great music
I know I feel so old!!
12 now...
2007-2015-2021.......
Wow! They have great editors for this video. They made this song 100x more amazing then the song was already
Every time I watch this I´m astonished how beautyfull Otep is, both her voice and looks. I mean, every single time, she´s just so awesome!
I simply LOVE the bass at 1:00!
the guitar...oh my god so silent hill
omg I thought the same thing
wow really is
Maybe
Wow, I never thought about it until now. You're totally right, that opening riff is very SH2. God, I love those games.
It's the bass for me
dat bass riff
ikiwyu riiight
Nobody talks about how beautiful that bass sounds 😄... because of the bass player of this group I learned to play it
Awesome, a self proclaimed philosopher who spends his time blessing TH-cam people with his vast knowledge of fallacies!
Otep is easily the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on (:
Been listening to otep since blood pigs came out and everything she does 1 ups herself purely talented individuals!!
Whenever I think about the days of finding new music on Myspace this is the first song/band I think of.
I don't take kindly to people that talk smack about Otep.
I don't either, im a loyal tribe member
Patricia Moreno I havent listen to them ever this is my first time and omg they suuuck lol jk I love this kind of music and omg man I'm probably gonna be the same way when i start listening to them more im the same way when people talk smack about Marilyn Manson and miw ext. But im not hating at all I love opet
I like this music. This Hard Ass Rock Jams!
PETO
Me neither brah
Best voice I have heard even since millenial generations!
led guitarist gives an enthusiatic expression(1:50) when he begings to play his guitar in distortion,love that moment.

I missed this song... It's been a while.

Love Otep 💜 Incredible Woman.
My middle school self listening to this song! So nostalgic❤
this song is just freakin amazing!!!
What I like most about this band is that the bass player (and his talent) isn't muffled in the background by vocals and lead guitars. Good job Otep.
My favorite Otep song!
3:47 when you headbang so hard you have to hold your hat on.
This song is so underrated in its awesomeness
my fav song from her,her voice is really special no other death metal singer can do it as she does it. increadible song
Check out any of bands fronted by Kayrn Crisis.
@@justinpaschall4452sorry mate not really a fan of that type of music
The guitarist looks like the enemy in x-men the father of nightcrawler
Azazel
this chic's voice is wickedly insane!!!! i like it
I'd love to hear an acoustic version of all of her favorite songs she put out. It would be straight fire.
I love the bass in this
SHES SO AWSOME and what a range to her voice
a broad like this is a metal heads dream girl, we all want her at our band practice right
I rock, AND ROLL .... all night long......sweet Susie. Your syntax brought that to mind.
I agree! The girl who used to sing for Eths is awesome as well :) their songs like bulimiarexia and cucifere are incredible
She saved me from my own self destruction.

+Clayton Jones true....
+Clayton Jones yeah but he also had bugles glued to his face lol
Hes the guitarist for American head charge. Carma cheema.

Gabriel Carter I believe so but I don't know if there's any new album.
Her latest album is called "Kult 45".

The bass in this track makes it for me.
You guys are my salvation
Only just heard of Otep today. Wow.

Of those Hanzel and Gretyl was the best example. I struggle to call L7 metal (it's more punk/alternative). All of them had cult followings but of those, Lita Ford was the only mainstream artist.
