One of hard-rock's most explosive LIVE acts!
System of a Down (sometimes referred to as S.O.A.D., SOAD or just System) was formed in 1995 in Hollywood, California.
The band consists of Serj Tankian (Vocals, Keyboard, Guitar), Daron Malakian (Guitar, Vocals), John Dolmayan (Drums) and Shavo Odadjian (Bass). Former members include Andy Khachaturian.
Malakian and Tankian were together in an earlier incarnation of the band, called Soil, which Odadjian managed. They are all from Armenian families.
System of a Down's lyrics are often politicized and/or abstract. System of a Down is a part of the Axis of Justice, a non-profit organization formed by Tankian and Tom Morello of Audioslave and Rage Against the Machine. Their claimed purpose is to bring together musicians, music fans and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice.
They are known for their songs " Sugar," " Spiders," " Toxicity," " Lonely Day," and others. At the Moment the singer "Serj Tankian" is doing his own solo-project "Elect The Dead" (read all)
System Of A Down - Toxicity
Looking at life through the eyes of a tired hub
Eating seeds as a pastime activity
The toxicity of our city, of our city
Now, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder, disorder
Now somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep
Disorder, disorder, disorder
Toxicity Lyrics
