Otep and September Mourning

OTEP, led by Otep Shamaya from Los Angeles, burst into the rock and metal scene with their 2002 debut, Sevas Tra. Known for their unique blend of metal, punk, hip-hop, and evocative poetry, they've championed themes of love, equality, and unity.

September Mourning, a fantasy-inspired dark culture band from Emily Lazar and comic legend Marc Silvestri, merges music with a graphic novel. Known for opening for Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and Slipknot, they've also rocked Comic Cons and Anime Festivals. The first female-fronted hard rock band to mint NFTs, they reached #17 on Opensea.io's charts. Their lineup includes ex-members from Gemini Syndrome and 10 Years.
