For their new video, Otep created a spiritual, but nightmarish vision for their cover of Nirvana's "Breed" from their new album, The Ascension, which came out October 30. The band shot the clip earlier this year with director Paul Brown, who helped Otep craft a surreal commentary about materialism, the media and perceptions of happiness.
"It was my pleasure to work with Paul Brown again," says frontwoman Otep Shamaya. "We had such an amazing time creating this video. The 'girl fed by TV' is actually my niece and I am so proud of her. She did an amazing job. Nirvana is one of my favorite bands and filming this video made me realize just how vacant the creative world is today without Kurt Cobain."
The video will make its on-air debut Saturday night on MTV2's Headbangers Ball. But check out the sneak preview below, then watch Nirvana playing the song live in 1992.
