Music Groups - System of a Down
System of a Down (also known by the acronym SOAD, and often shortened as System) is an Armenian-American rock band from Glendale, California, formed in 1994. It consists of Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards), Daron Malakian (vocals, lead guitar), Shavo Odadjian (bass, background vocals) and John Dolmayan (drums). All four members are of Armenian descent, and are widely known for their outspoken radical views expressed in many of their songs confronting the Armenian Genocide of 1915 by the Ottoman Empire and the ongoing War on Terror by the US government.
The band has achieved commercial success with the release of five studio albums, selling over 40 million records worldwide. System of a Down has been nominated for four Grammy Awards, of which has won one in 2006 for Best Hard Rock Performance. On August 13th, 2006, the group went on indefinite hiatus.

The only reason why I owned a System of a Down CD was because I won one in a radio station contest (was in a prize pack that I won). They were meh to begin with. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on December 14, 2011, 3:56 am - (0 votes)

Their first couple of albums were good, but that was about it for me. I do remember seeing SOAD when they were nobodies, they played in a rundown shack of club along with Fear Factory. Good show! Good times! -- Submitted By: (Jp) on October 31, 2011, 9:45 pm - (0 votes)

While they can play, they are another political band that are total hypocrites and their lyrics are pretty awful and nonsensical. -- Submitted By: (Mr.Zimpy) on January 4, 2011, 6:22 am - (0 votes)

Another band that plays everything in drop tunings and can't decide whether they want to be grunge or thrash - ironically neither really matters anymore -- Submitted By: (lrbloom) on November 28, 2010, 8:01 am - (0 votes)
