The fourth and fifth albums are made glowing. The album "Mesmerize" came out in early 2005, while "Hypnotize" was released in late 2005. Covernyapun is similar, a picture of the imagination created by Daron's father. The most famous song of these 2 albums is "BYOB" or Bring Your Own Bomb. The song criticized the American government for sending troops to Iraq and causing thousands of US troops to die. Video Clips "BYOB" became the best metal video at the MTV Music Awards 2005. Other tracks were "Lonely Day", "Soldier Side", Lost in Hollywood "," Cigaro "," Question "and" This Cocaine make me feel i ' m on this song ". the contents of Hypnotize album will contain 12 songs and also some artwork / artwork from Vartan Malakian, the father of SOAD guitarist Daron Malakian.
Cover of his album will be designed to be the right partner for the cover of the previous album, Mezmerize. Making both albums an artwork that is interconnected. The relationship between the two albums is also scattered in the behind-the-scenes footage that show the process of making this album. Both these albums, Mezmerize and Hypnotize will be connected in music in Soldier Side Intro song which became the opening song of Mesmerize and Soldier Side album which became the last song on Hypnotize album. this album presents a high-voltage rock rhythm. Just look at the flagship of this album that titled Hypnotize successfully make our ears with the roar of the guitar that rocks but still catchy rhythm.
Shavo Odadjian seems to be directed again for Hypnotize album video clip. The director's bench is certainly going to be filled by the base. Hmm we can not wait for the result. The video clip that will be shot at Van Andel Arena (Grand Rapids, Michigan) is actually Shavo's second project after he also directed a video clip for the song "Question!". "This is going to be a truly live video concept. Previously we've played and there are some fans who participated in the shoot, but if you play in the big arena where the atmosphere is already rich concerts, just now.
After a tour around Europe, and touring grilya in 9 American cities. One of them is their appearance in California. Precisely at Long Beach Arena, California, SOAD presents a truly rock & roll show. The sold-out concert was opened by Mars Volta who had spectacular guitar performances, and a cute visual game from the projector. Some even say the appearance of Mars Volta more memorable because more visual and appearance duet guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and frontman SOAD Serj Tankian seems to be the main attraction, not to mention Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist, John Frusciante, a surprisingly follow-up jamming with Mars Volta. When SOAD gig, we can predict what songs will playing? It must have been a song like "B.Y.O.B." and "Revenga". But apparently System not forget old numbers because they also take some songs from their debut album and Toxicity album. Different 180 degrees with the opening band performance, the appearance of minimal SOAD visual completeness and the empty stage (just a row of ampli plasticity).
This 'minimalist' appearance seems to be deliberate, because SOAD's intention from the beginning is to feature a show that is just rock music (no other frills). And it seems like this message can be caught up quickly by the fans because they fit playing "Chop Suey!" Armenian national flag directly coloring the ocean of audience and fans immediately busy making mosh pits. Fortunately because of the minimalist set earlier, SOAD can really make his fans the total concentration of the same songs that SOAD play. The songs from the Mezmerize album really were the highlight of the evening, especially after this group's version of the song "Cigaro" with acoustic guitar and play the song with a version that leads to the classic.
Serj Tankian, vocalist of System of a Down was very concerned with genocide. This genocide is an ethnic, religious or other group extermination, the most famous example of genocide against Jews as many as 6 million people during World War II. Why does Serj Tankian insist on supporting the realization of this law? At the time his friends band more busy preparation for shooting his latest video clip System of a Down, Serj Tankian, the vocalist even following the demo in Chicago. Serj Tankian had already made an appointment to his 97-year-old grandfather who was an Armenian, if he would do his best to convince congressman Dennis Hastert to realize the Armenian Genocide Resolution. Tankian struggle to make this resolution has been recognized since 2000.
Tankian joined members of the Armenian National Committee of America, the Armenian Youth Federation and his organization Axis of Justice in a massive demonstration to enact a resolution that would later recognize the massacre of about 1.5 million Armenians from 1915 to 1923." It's all in Dennis Hastert's hands, "Tankian also added that," I'm sure that this all needs to lobby the government "
BushDaron Malakian who was born in Hollywood California on July 18, 1975. When he was 6 years old already listening to the albums of big names like Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne. But 6 years later he began to feel comfortable after hearing the thrash music of bands like Slayer. From here then Daron began to play a lot of metal music. Then, when he was 17, he started listening to The Beatles music. John Lennon became his biggest influence in songwriting. If you listen to the lyrics of the song System Of a Down, all lyrics are social, war, and criticism of the government.
A few moments later Daron met Serj Tankian and finally agreed to form a band together. Then join Shavo Odadjian on bass and John Dolmayan on drums. They also named their band System Of a Down (SOAD). The band began to seize the attention of Los Angeles public. Although still a local band was apparently the number of fanatical fans can be spelled out very large. Finally in 1997, producer Rick Rubin took over SOAD. A year later SOAD released its first album and started being the opening artist for Slayer and a metal music show, Ozzfesst. Then in 2001 managed to sell 6 million copies for the album "Toxicity". SOAD's success can not be separated from Daron's makeup which created most of his songs. Especially in terms of song lyrics.
Daron Malakian is being recognized by music enthusiasts, especially in the LA area. Even some time ago he was ranked 4th in the best guitarist polls of Metal Edge Magazine magazine. It does make sense considering the difficulty of metal music through the fantastic sales figures. the latest album SOAD can even sit in the first position of the top of the charts in some media. In the Toxicity album, Daron uses D drop guitar stem (down 1 tone) except the 6th strings down 2 tones.
Starting from the 1st to 6th sequence: D, A, F, C, G, C. But on the latest album, he wears steman D #, A #, F #, C #, G #, C #.
Already familiar with the band's chaos, but System Of A Down guitarist Daron Malakian denied that the crackdown in the band's body had forced them to 'break' and said that 'creative difference' was what made them face period vacuum. SOAD rock singer, it denied speculation that they are now on the verge of division because of a conflict between personnel, saying that each member just wants to concentrate on the 'side project' they have. Donon tells British music magazine Kerrang,
"You know what if people split up for a while because they have different opinions. I just want to say that in the System body there is no hatred. Differences are commonplace and not hostile."" I know Serj (lead vocal) personally and he has some plans he wants to make. And it can not be done in System. As well as I. I also have other wishes that of course I can not realize in the System, "he said.
