System Of A Down Explicit Lyrics

Description

Described by Kerrang as a “thrilling mix of Middle Eastern
folk and Sepultura-style bludgeon,” System of a Down’s members are of Armenian
descent, raised in Southern California. The band has built a hard-core
following that originated in L.A. and has been massively developing nationally
and internationally based on reviews of their live shows, on-line
communication (over 10 fan-driven web sites are on the internet) and general
word-of-mouth. Video of “War” serviced to local video. This debut
by the L.A.-based quartet is a hybrid of explosive rap-metal, politically
incendiary lyrics, and wide-ranging cultural influences. The members are of
Armenian descent, but their diverse stylistic background transcends easy
cultural labeling. Singer Serj Tankian’s throaty roar competes with any mosh-
pit rocker around, but his real trademark is his emotional wail and
refreshingly melodic singing, especially on songs such as “Spiders” and the
condemnatory “P.L.U.C.K.” Guitarist Daron Malakian, bassist Shavo Odadjian,
and drummer John Dolmayan lock in tight on the capricious arrangements of
“Know,” “Ddevil,” and “CUBErt.” Their musical diversity runs wonderfully wild
on “Sugar” and “Suggestions” with dizzying shifts of style and intensity. The
tracks “Peephole” and “War?” reveal the band at perhaps its eclectic best,
with vaguely Eastern European-sounding guitar riffs, passionate battle cries,
and samples provided by legendary hip-hop producer Rick Rubin. –Mark
