Wait, how did we all miss this? We were so excited to hear the first single from System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian’s new project that we totally missed the hidden meaning of the band’s name. Hidden Meaning In Name Of Shavo’s New BandOdadjian’s new band, Seven Hours After Violet, dropped its first single last week. “Paradise” is a pulverizing blast of metal as the bass player is joined by Left To Suffer vocalist Taylor Barber, California-based deathcore outfit Winds of Plague‘s Michael Montoya and Josh Johnson, and former American Idol contestant Alejandro Aranda, who also performs under ...

Are System of a Down “metal”? Fans on Reddit are debating if the label is appropriate for the band over on Reddit. The line between metal and rock has always been pretty blurry, especially as heavy music has changed over time. In the ’70s, there were some bands that were considered metal at the time, but most of us today consider hard rock, such as Led Zeppelin. Then, in the ’80s, there were groups that were called “hair metal” (Motley Crue and etc.). The ’90s brought on a whole new batch of bands that seemed to sit on both lines as well, including System of a Down. They’re often lumped in wit...

Which rock concert had the biggest impact on System of a Down vocalist Serj Tankian? The singer instantly called up his first ever concert with Iron Maiden when asked that question, while also naming off another legendary concert tour as well. Tankian was speaking with Monsters, Madness and Magic (as heard in the player below) when the topic of impactful live shows came up. Surprisingly, Tankian revealed that he wasn’t necessarily a fan of Iron Maiden when he went to see them play, but the show definitely had an impact on him afterward. Serj’s First Concert “Maiden” Impact“The first one that I...

Avril Lavigne has been photographed on the red carpet (well, beige carpet) at the ACM Awards, wearing a black hoodie of a big metal band — System of a Down. The pop-punk princess posed individually and with country star Nate Smith, who released his self-titled debut last year. Although it’s difficult to see and is not shown unobscured, the System of a Down name occupies the top left part of the hoodie. Unfortunately, Lavigne’s flowing blonde hair mostly covers the logo, but it’s still pretty cool that there’s any sort of heavy metal represented at Country Music’s Biggest Night. There’s also a ...

Serj Tankian has revealed in his new memoir, “Down With the System,” that System of a Down had actually auditioned a musician to fill his role in the band, but it came after he had previously broached the idea of moving on so that the group could continue without him holding them back. System of a Down famously went on hiatus after 2005’s Mezmerize and Hypnotize albums, and while they have gotten back together to play occasional tours and one off dates, an attempt at creating new music together ended with artistic differences shutting down the sessions. In addition, System have scaled back on ...

Serj Tankian opened up on System of a Down‘s potential touring future in a new interview. System have only played two shows in the last two years, both of which were at Las Vegas’ Sick New World festival. Prior to that, they performed a handful of times in early 2022, but haven’t been on an actual tour in quite a while. In a new interview with LiveSigning about his new book Down With the System, Tankian admitted that while touring lost its charm for a while, he may be open to doing something similar — but less taxing — in the future. “I love performing, but… I think when you do a long tour, it...
