From Google Bard: “System of a Down is an American heavy metal band formed in Glendale, California in 1994. The band consists of Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards), Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals), Shavo Odadjian (bass, backing vocals), and John Dolmayan (drums). Since 1997, the band has released five studio albums: System of a Down (1998), Toxicity (2001), Steal This Album! (2002), Mezmerize (2005), and Hypnotize (2005).
The band’s music is a fusion of heavy metal, alternative metal, nu metal, and progressive metal. Their lyrics often deal with political and social issues, such as war, religion, and environmentalism. System of a Down has sold over 40 million albums worldwide, making them one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time.
The band formed in 1994 when Tankian and Malakian, who were childhood friends, decided to start a band. They recruited Odadjian, who was Tankian’s roommate, and Khachaturian, who was a friend of Malakian’s. The band released their self-titled debut album in 1998, which was a critical and commercial success. Their second album, Toxicity, was even more successful, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
System of a Down continued to release successful albums in the early 2000s. However, they went on hiatus in 2006 due to creative differences. The band reunited in 2010 and have toured extensively since then. However, they have not released any new music since 2005.
System of a Down is known for their unique sound and their outspoken political views. They have been praised for their social commentary and their ability to combine heavy metal with other genres of music. The band has won numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards. They are considered one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time.
In 2020, System of a Down released two new songs, “Protect the Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz”, in response to the Armenian genocide. The songs were a critical and commercial success, and helped to raise awareness of the genocide.
The future of System of a Down is uncertain. The band has not released any new music since 2005, and there is no indication when or if they will make a new album. However, they continue to tour and their music remains popular.”
