'''''Sevas Tra''''' is the debut studio album by the [[nu metal]] band [[Otep]], released in 2002. The album name, when read backwards, reads as "art saves".<ref name=AM/> It debuted at number 145 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]].<ref name="US-albums">{{cite magazine | url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=otep|chart=Billboard 200}} | title=Otep – Chart History: Billboard 200 | magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] | publisher=[[Prometheus Global Media]] | accessdate=February 7, 2013}}</ref>
'''''Sevas Tra''''' ([[anagram]]: "art saves") is the debut studio album by American [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Otep]], released on May 27, 2002, through [[Capitol Records]]. The band, then consisting of vocalist [[Otep Shamaya]], guitarist [[Rob Patterson]], bassist Jason "eViL J" McGuire and drummer Mark "Moke" Bistany, wrote the album in one month and recorded it with producer [[Terry Date]] at [[Studio Litho]] in Seattle in October 2001. ''Sevas Tra'' is a [[nu metal]], [[death metal]], and [[gothic metal]] album whose lyrics address topics including [[sexual abuse]], [[incest]], [[organized religion]], survival, anger and vulnerability whilst referencing mythology and various ancient cultures.
 
''Sevas Tra'' received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its songwriting and Shamaya's vocal performances but were divided on its lyrics and presentation. The album debuted at number 145 on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart and number 86 on the [[UK Albums Chart]]. To promote the album, Otep filmed a music video for "Blood Pigs" and joined the Ozzfest tours across Europe and the United States throughout 2002. Otep later reunited with Patterson and Bistany for the recording of their fourth album ''[[Smash the Control Machine]]'' (2009), and performed a concert celebrating the album's 20th anniversary in 2022.

The only problem with Rob was that he simply didn't want to be with us anymore, so when he decided to return there was hardly any hesitation on our part. It was an easy decision because Rob was already "one of us", but also because the two temporary guitarists wanted something different musically and were already living on the fringes of the band. What they do today I don't know and I don't care." -->.{{Sfn|Larsson|2002|p=58}}<!-- writing/recording -->


==Music and lyrics==
Otep wrote and recorded ''Sevas Tra'' in the span of two months.

Template:Use mdy dates Script error: No such module "Unsubst-infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". Sevas Tra (anagram: "art saves") is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Otep, released on May 27, 2002, through Capitol Records. The band, then consisting of vocalist Otep Shamaya, guitarist Rob Patterson, bassist Jason "eViL J" McGuire and drummer Mark "Moke" Bistany, wrote the album in one month and recorded it with producer Terry Date at Studio Litho in Seattle in October 2001. Sevas Tra is a nu metal, death metal, and gothic metal album whose lyrics address topics including sexual abuse, incest, organized religion, survival, anger and vulnerability whilst referencing mythology and various ancient cultures.

Sevas Tra received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its songwriting and Shamaya's vocal performances but were divided on its lyrics and presentation. The album debuted at number 145 on the US Billboard 200 chart and number 86 on the UK Albums Chart. To promote the album, Otep filmed a music video for "Blood Pigs" and joined the Ozzfest tours across Europe and the United States throughout 2002. Otep later reunited with Patterson and Bistany for the recording of their fourth album Smash the Control Machine (2009), and performed a concert celebrating the album's 20th anniversary in 2022.

Background and recording

Otep was formed in Los Angeles in August 2000 by vocalist Otep Shamaya, who sought a new creative outlet beyond drawing and poetry[1] and to bring her art to life through music.[2] Shamaya became inspired to take up music after hanging around with various musicians in the late 1990s, despite her lack of formal training or experience;Template:Sfn she wanted to pursue an aggressive direction whilst working with musicians who had a mixture of influences.Template:Sfn After finding a manager and searching for some musicians,[3] Otep settled on an initial lineup with bassist Jason "eViL J" McGuire, guitarists Traver Marsh and Dave "Spooky" Aguilera and drummer Mark "Moke" BistanyTemplate:Sfn and performed their first show in November 2000.[4] Record labels had begun courting Otep by the time of their fourth show in February 2001, and the band were offered a slot on the Ozzfest tour after Jack and Sharon Osbourne saw the band open for Cold at the Roxy Theatre in March.[4] In April 2001, the band signed with Capitol Records on the strength of their live performance, after only eight shows and without a demo.[4] Following the release of Otep's debut extended play (EP) Jihad (2001)Template:Efn and performances on Ozzfest, Marsh and Aguilera were fired in July 2001[1] due to creative differences and were replaced by Rob Patterson, whom had briefly been part of Otep's initial line-up.Template:Sfn

Otep wrote and recorded Sevas Tra in the span of two months. Shamaya said she "wanted to get in there and write it, get it recorded and get home", and believed the short creative window made Otep more confident and closer as a band.[5] The band wrote the album in September 2001,[6] during which time they were working six days and twelve-hours per week.[7] They went in with no fixed ideas,Template:Sfn and conceived songs starting with either their music or lyrics;Template:Sfn each member would come up with their own parts before coming together and working on arrangements.[8][9] McGuire highlighted Otep's members backgrounds in jazz fusion, funk, and classical music as influences and felt the album's songwriting stemmed from them "[knowing] ourselves personally".[8] Shamaya exclusively handled lyrics and vocals, and held the final say over "what works and what doesn't".Template:Sfn When writing lyrics, she drew influences from authors including Charles Baudelaire and Jack Kerouac and books about Aincent Egyptian magic and other cultures;Template:Sfn in an interview with Metal Edge, she expressed further interest in Greek and Roman mythology and Sumerian religion.Template:Sfn Most of the songs from Jihad were reworked as Shamaya wanted them to be more aggressive and give Patterson "his own voice" on them; "The Lord is My Weapon" was renamed "Sacreliege".Template:Sfn

Once writing was completed, Otep travelled to Seattle to begin recording Sevas Tra with producer Terry Date at Studio Litho in October 2001.[6] Date first expressed interest in working with the band after seeing them perform at a private showcase for Capitol Records;[7] Shamaya said they wanted to work with him as they "thought he would be the right person to find our distinctive sound".Template:Sfn The first song Shamaya recorded vocals for was "Jonestown Tea", which she completed in one take following three attempts in a room lit by a single candle.Template:Sfn Shamaya said she almost had an emotional breakdown recording the rest of the album following the song, but believed that the experience "might have helped in some aspects, that I know the things that were said and done on [the] record were real."Template:Sfn Following additional recording and mixing sessions at the Record Plant in Hollywood[10] in November 2001,Template:Sfn Sevas Tra was completed in March 2002.[11]

Composition

Music critics categorized Sevas Tra as nu metal,Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn death metal,[12][13]Template:Sfn and gothic metal.[14][15] Shamaya disliked many of the labels attached to Otep and preferred to categorize the band as "art-core".[3] Jason Bracelin of the Cleveland Scene likened the album to "Sylvia Plath fronting a death-metal band."[16] Its songs are marked by raw guitars,Template:Sfn rhythmic bass and drums[17] utilizing double-bass,Template:Sfn and aggressive vocals that alternate between various stylesTemplate:Sfn including growling, screaming,[14]Template:Sfn rapping,[18]Template:Sfn whispering,[3] and spoken word.Template:Sfn[17] Shamaya's lyrics, which reflect her personal experiences and opinions,Template:Sfn address topics including sexual abuse,[13][15] incest,Template:Sfn organized religion,[15] survival, anger and vulnerability,[19] and include references to mythology[13] and aincent cultures.[12] Though she wrote the lyrics in a non-specific way so that listeners could form their own meanings to the songs,Template:Sfn Shamaya intended Sevas Tra to give people a sense of empowermentTemplate:Sfn and inspire them to believe they can be something outside of society-dictated roles and identities.Template:Sfn The album's title is an anagram for "art saves";[13] in an interview with Rag Magazine, Shamaya credited creating art with preventing her from hurting herself or others and allowing her to become the person they were today.[4] The cover art of Sevas Tra, designed by Shamaya and P. R. Brown,[7] presents a "grotesque" deciption of Otep intended to appear like a Hieronymus Bosch-style triptcyh and reflect its themes of "being reborn as your own creature from the things that are trying to destroy you".Template:Sfn

"Blood Pigs" is about "betrayal and punishment".[20] Sean Richardson of The Boston Phoenix remarked that the song was "as ferocious and ugly as commercial rock gets".Template:Sfn "T.R.I.C." combines hip hop and death metalTemplate:Sfn and features references to David and Goliath, Babylon, and Armageddon.Template:Sfn "My Confession" sees Shamaya outline her insecurities before exploding into "purposeful anger and exudes strength", according to Amy Steele of The Boston Globe.Template:Sfn "Sacreliege" and "Battle Ready" are both hip-hop influenced songs[14] that attack organized religion.[13][20] Shamaya viewed the latter as a call for "artistic solidarity";Template:Sfn Gil Kaufman of MTV News considered it an anthem for Otep's fanbase, the Shadow Soldiers.[13] "Emtee" details abuse[13] amidst eerie vocals and melodies.Template:Sfn "Thots" is an improvised jam stemming from a beat played by BistanyTemplate:Sfn similar in style to the Jihad track "Germ",Template:Sfn over which Shamaya gives her thoughts on the perpetrators of the September 11 attacks and "people that do the same sort of attacks on a smaller scale on their own communities every day".[21]

"Filthee" explores themes of isolation and trauma and references concepts of purity in the Bible; one of its lyrics sarcastically alludes to the Biblical figures of Delilah and Samson, from the Book of Judges.Template:Sfn "Menocide" attacks the patriarchyTemplate:Sfn[22] and those who commit violence against women;[23] the song begins with Shamaya criticizing "prostate gods"Template:Sfn and later calls upon Lillith, Eve, Isis, Kali,[22] and women from various cultures before ending it with a chant to "Kill Your Masters/Menocide".Template:Sfn In its intro, Shamaya can be heard smashing her head into a door in the studio.[24] "Jonestown Tea" is about Shamaya being sexually abused by her father,[18] and refusing to be blamed and victimized after being abused.Template:Sfn Shamaya details rape, murder, and incest through spoken word lyrics[13] whilst Otep progresses through a "multipart metal maelstrom".Template:Sfn The song originated during a jam session during one of Otep's rehearsals whilst the band were being courted by record labels, and was included on Sevas Tra after Shamaya observed people's shocked reactions to it.[18] Sevas Tra ends with the hidden track "Brother", which sees Shamaya memorialize her brother, who died whilst serving in the United States Navy.Template:Sfn

Release and promotion

Sevas Tra was released through Capitol Records in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2002,Template:Sfn and in the United States on June 18, 2002. The first 75,000 copies of the album were available as a limited edition tri-fold digipak.Template:Sfn Upon release, the album debuted at number 86 on the UK Albums Chart and number 10 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart.[25] In the United States, the album debuted at number 145 on the Billboard 200 chart and number 2 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn "Blood Pigs" was serviced to radio stations as the album's lead single;Template:Sfn a music video for the song, which shows Otep performing it live, was posted to the band's website in May 2002.[26] According to Shamaya, the video was meant to get people to understand the band "was really more about music than anything else".[7] "Battle Ready" was featured in the soundtrack of the 2002 video game Transworld Snowboarding.[27]

Otep toured Europe as part of the first and only Ozzfest tour of the continent from May 17 to June 7, 2002,[28]Template:Efn before joining the United States Ozzfest tour from July 6 to September 8, 2002.[29] Shamaya was the only female lead singer on the latter tour;[3] she found the experience to be isolating,Template:Sfn and felt audiences judged her appearance more than her music.Template:Sfn She also struggled with the death of Drowning Pool vocalist Dave Williams, whom she was good friends with, midway through the tour on August 14, 2002.Template:Sfn Following Ozzfest, Otep began working on their second second album House of Secrets (2004), with Bistany and Patterson leaving in the interim period;Template:Sfn they later rejoined the band for the recording of their fourth album Smash the Control Machine (2009).[30] Otep's eighth album, Kult 45 (2018) was recorded with the same equipment and gear used on Sevas Tra.[31] In September 2022, Otep celebrated the album's 20th anniversary with a concert at the Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles.[32]

Critical reception

Template:Music ratings Darren Ratner of Alternative Press called Sevas Tra a "well-mixed set of frenetic tunes" that would "dazzle fans of vengeful song".Template:Sfn Exclaim!Template:'s Amber Authier praised the album's lyrical and instrumental balance and highlighted Shamaya's storytelling in songs such as "Battle Ready" and "Possession".[17] Steele of The Boston Globe praised the "meticulously crafted" nature of its songs whilst highlighting Shamaya's combination of "machismo and softness".Template:Sfn Daryl Stredan of the Winnipeg Sun felt Shamaya's "unbelievable" vocals separated Otep from their contemporaries;Template:Sfn Charles Spano of AllMusic remarked that she "wipes the slate clean of any preconceptions of how intense a female-fronted metal band could be".[14] In Music We TrustTemplate:'s Alex Steininger considered Sevas TraTemplate:'s musicianship to be competent but felt its appeal was limited to fans of nu metal and that others would find it "semi-stomach-able".[33] Rob Kemp of Blender felt that Shamaya's "brauva performance" did not stop the album from being weighed down by her band's "unrelentingly monochromatic playing".Template:Sfn Eric Lewis of the Times & Transcript found the album confusing and believed the lyrics could not be taken seriously.Template:Sfn Though finding its rage to be genuine, Sarah Bee of Playlouder criticized the album for its perceived pretentiousness and felt its messages were "lost in slews of flailing, vicious, sagging lyrics".[12]

Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times ranked Sevas Tra at number 5 on his list of "Favorite Alternative CDs of 2002".[34] In 2007, Nik D'Andrea of the Miami News-Times called it "one of the densest, most disturbing debut albums in the history of metal".[35] In a 2021 Alternative Press listicle, Ali Cooper praised the album's lyrical depth compared to other contemporary nu metal acts and its aversion to trends.[15] Less favourably, David Perri, in The Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal: Volume 4: The '00s (2011), called it a "late to the trend nu-metal record, despite the intellectual pretention".Template:Sfn
