System Of A Down - Curitiba Estádio Couto Pereira – Curitiba, Brazil
More information about the Package
System of a Down is an alternative metal band formed in 1994 in Glendale, California, consisting of four members of Armenian descent: Serj Tankian (vocals), Daron Malakian (guitar and vocals), Shavo Odadjian (bass), and John Dolmayan (drums). The band gained prominence for their unique fusion of various musical styles, such as metal, punk, classical music, and traditional Armenian music, creating a highly distinctive and innovative sound. Their musical approach is characterized by politically and socially charged lyrics, dealing with themes such as war, corruption, human rights, and environmental issues, often addressing the pain and struggle of the Armenian people, including the Armenian Genocide.
The band's journey began when the original members met while attending schools in Los Angeles, where they started experimenting and composing together. Initially, they formed a band called Soil, but after some lineup changes and the addition of Shavo Odadjian, the group renamed themselves System of a Down. The name was inspired by an idea from Daron Malakian, who conceived it to represent a system of opposition, a kind of reaction to the state of affairs in society. The band initially gained recognition on the local scene, playing in small clubs in Los Angeles before catching the attention of key figures in the music industry.
In 1998, the band signed with Columbia Records and released their self-titled debut album, System of a Down, in 1998. The album immediately caught attention for its unusual sound, blending heavy guitar riffs with unexpected melodies and rhythms, along with vocals alternating between aggressive shouting and melodic singing by Tankian. The songs on the album tackled a variety of topics, including criticism of the political system, war, and the Armenian Genocide. The single "Sugar" became one of the album's biggest hits, helping the band build a loyal fanbase.
The band's second album, Toxicity, released in 2001, was a milestone in their career. The album achieved massive commercial success, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and becoming one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the 2000s. The album featured tracks that became instant classics, such as "Chop Suey!", "Toxicity," and "Aerials." "Chop Suey!" especially stood out, becoming one of the band's biggest hits with its intricate melody and complex, enigmatic lyrics that addressed themes such as life, death, and inner struggle. Toxicity solidified the band as one of the most innovative and important acts in alternative metal, gaining a growing and diverse fanbase.
The band continued working on new projects, and in 2002, they released Steal This Album!, a compilation of demos and unreleased tracks, with a more raw and experimental sound. This album did not have the same commercial impact as Toxicity, but it was still well received by fans, who appreciated the new songs and the band's sonic experiments. The band was also praised for their political stance, with Tankian and Malakian, in particular, using their public voices to promote ideals such as pacifism and social justice. The criticism of the Iraq War, which was ongoing at the time, became a central point in several of their songs.
In 2005, the band released Mezmerize, an even more experimental and daring album that continued to blend elements of metal, traditional Armenian music, electronic music, and even jazz. The album generated several hits, including "B.Y.O.B." (Bring Your Own Bombs), a fierce critique of the Iraq War and the United States' militaristic policies. The song became an anti-war anthem with its defiant lyrics and powerful chorus. Another highlight of the album was the track "Question!", which continued the band's tradition of questioning the darker aspects of politics and society. The album received excellent commercial and critical reception, and the band continued to expand their musical horizons, incorporating more cultural and regional influences.
Shortly after the release of Mezmerize, the band released Hypnotize in 2005, which was considered a sort of continuation of Mezmerize. Although it did not have the same impact as its predecessors, Hypnotize still featured songs that dealt with complex and political themes, such as the fight for justice and the consequences of violence. Although the album was successful, it also marked the end of the band's first era, as System of a Down went on an indefinite hiatus in 2006 after having become one of the most influential bands of the decade.
The band's hiatus lasted several years, with each member pursuing solo projects. Serj Tankian launched a successful solo career, releasing albums that continued exploring themes of social justice, human rights, and political activism, including Elect the Dead (2007). Daron Malakian also launched his own project, Scars on Broadway, which followed a more alternative rock direction but maintained the same energy and distinctive style that he always brought to System of a Down. During this period, fans around the world continued to call for the band's return, especially regarding their live performances.
After a long period of speculation, the band announced their return to the stage in 2011, performing a series of concerts and festivals but without releasing new studio albums. The return was warmly received by the public, who were eager to hear the band's iconic songs live again. However, the band had not worked on new material until 2020, when, after a decade of silence, System of a Down surprised their fans by releasing two new songs: "Protect the Land" and "Genocidal Humanoidz," which addressed topics such as the armed conflict in the Armenian region and the fight for the preservation of Armenian culture. The tracks marked the band's return to their political and activist stance, staying true to the unique sound that made them famous.
Throughout their career, System of a Down not only influenced many bands and musicians but also became one of the most important voices in political activism within the rock and metal worlds. The lyrics of Tankian and Malakian tackle themes such as imperialism, political repression, social injustices, the Armenian Genocide, and war—issues that continue to resonate with fans. Additionally, their fusion of diverse musical influences made System of a Down one of the most innovative bands of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, influencing many other artists to explore new forms of musical experimentation. Their ability to blend aggression with melody and lyricism with politics made them a reference point both in metal and alternative rock, creating a lasting legacy.
