System Of A Down

Political metal with an unmistakable style

System Of A Down is one of the most influential metal bands of the late 1990s and 2000s. Founded in Los Angeles by musicians with Armenian roots, the band combines hard guitar riffs and complex rhythms with powerful political messages. Their songs address war, social injustice, environmental problems and abuse of power - always with a mixture of seriousness, irony and artistic expression.

Musically, System Of A Down stands for a unique sound that combines metal, punk, rock and even influences from Armenian folklore. The alternation between aggressive shouts, melodic vocals and surprising breaks in tempo makes their songs unmistakable. Hits like Chop Suey!, Toxicity or B.Y.O.B. have long been classics and have brought the band worldwide fame.

System Of A Down is also an experience live: the power of their songs, combined with the energy and presence of singer Serj Tankian and guitarist Daron Malakian, make for unforgettable concerts. With their unmistakable style and clear attitude, the band has earned a firm place in music history and remains a mouthpiece for social issues.
