Music > System of a Down Submitted by: *cyber_queen* On: 2002-05-08 Genre: metal Official Site: S Y S T E m O f A D O W n Best songs: Sugar Chop Suey! Description, by *cyber_queen* Formed in 1995 in LA, SOAD mix metal, punk, jazz, traditional Armenian folk music and pretty much any other musical style you can think of really... They released their eponymous debut album in 1998 to critical acclaim. Their second album, 'Toxicity' took the blueprint laid down by the first album and made it into something truly special. With standout tracks like the singles, 'Chop Suey' and 'Toxicity', and politically-charged songs like 'Deer Dance' and 'Prison Song', SOAD have intelligence, passion and two truly talented songwriters; genius guitarist Daron Malakian and singer Serj Tankian, whose voice can go from a croon to a roar in the same song. With a fanbase that spans metallers, goths, 'normies' and dance music fans, there's something in System of a Down's music for everyone.

My opinion of SOAD was mired down by press saying they were political (never had time for RATM). However upon hearing Sugar and Suite Pee I decided to give it a go. An eclectic cross between FnM, Primus and Suicidal Tendencies, with some Death Metal thrown in.
