wikipedia said:

System of a Down (also referred to as System or abbreviated as SOAD) are a four-piece, Grammy-award winning band, formed in 1995 in Los Angeles, California. All four members are of Armenian descent, grandsons of Armenian Genocide survivors, and are widely known for their outspoken views found in many of their songs. System of a Down has achieved commercial success over five albums, with singles such as "Chop Suey!" and "B.Y.O.B.".

Their music has kinda changed from 'Steal this album' turning into something that...uhm i don't like it as much as their first albums to say the least, but that's only my opinion! now Serj started a solo career, his first album "elect the dead"should be released in the end of october; can't understand why he did that, "The Unthinking Majority" sounds the same as SOAD style so :thumbup:

Soad sings about politics, drugs, sex and rabits; ok they have only one song about a rabit named "rock 'n roll" which Daron ran over ("kill rock 'n roll")!

I love System Of A Down and I lke what I've heard from the new Serj Tankian album. but I've only heard two songs from the album and I think that Empty Walls is amazing.

Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning, Dying of anticipation, Choking from intoxication.

Hopefully getting Elect The Dead album at chirstmas but if not I'll buy it after christmas.

System of a Down are great, if you like them, you'll probably like Strapping young Lad.

Thank you. While I love the band and Serj to bits, they are not metal. Alternative rock fused with shock rock maybe, but like a few other bands in today's music scenes, they don't fit in most genres (if any).
