The 6 Hours That Destroyed System Of A Down

This week, we explore the chaotic rise and prolonged hiatus of System of a Down, the Armenian-American metal band that defied the industry in the late 90s and 2000s. From their strategic naming to be alphabetically next to Slayer to the notorious 2001 Hollywood parking lot riot that foreshadowed their explosive success, we uncover the history behind Toxicity and their double album coup of Mezmerize and *Hypnotize*. We dive into the creative tensions between Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian, the secret auditions that nearly replaced the singer, and the stubborn standoff that has kept them from releasing new material for over 15 years.
