Biografie 

1993 gründeten Serj Tankian (Gesang, Keyboard, Gitarre) und Daron Malakian (Gitarre, Gesang) die Band Soil. Der damalige Schlagzeuger war Andy Khachaturian, der inzwischen Sänger von The Apex Theory geworden ist. Shavo Odadjian, der auf dieselbe armenische Privatschule in Kalifornien ging wie Serj und Daron, verstand sich gut mit den beiden und wurde kurze Zeit später gefragt, ob er nicht der Manager der Band werden wolle. Es lief aber darauf hinaus, dass er den Bass in der Band übernahm. 1995 trafen sie auf John Dolmayan (Schlagzeug). Zusammen mit ihm gründeten sie die Band System Of A Down.

Noch im selben Jahr bekommen sie von Rick Rubin, der sie durch Zufall bei einem Auftritt im stadtbekannten Viper Room sah, einen Plattenvertrag vermittelt und beginnen sofort mit den Aufnahmen für ihr erstes Album „System Of A Down“. Dieses präsentieren sie als Vorband von Slayer auf deren Tour zum ersten Mal vor großem Publikum. Bis zum nächsten Album vergehen drei Jahre. Toxicity führt den begonnenen musikalischen Stil fort. Insbesondere die akustisch aggressiven Vocals von Serj und Daron wirkten durch ihren Wechsel zwischen laut und leise bzw. schnell und langsam sehr gut auf die Hörer, so Tankian. 2002 erscheint Steal This Album!, welches Lieder enthält, die zwar für „Toxicity“ geschrieben, dort aber nicht veröffentlicht wurden. Serj Tankian betont aber ausdrücklich, dass "Steal This Album!" keine B-Seiten enthält, sondern lediglich das angefangene Projekt „Toxicity“ beendet und Platz für neue Lieder schafft. Wie bereits in den vorigen Alben fließen auch hier die Gedanken der Band zur amerikanischen Regierungspolitik mit ein, die sie heftigst kritisieren. Wieder vergehen drei Jahre, in denen sich besonders Serj diversen Nebenprojekten wie z. B. seinem eigenen Musiklabel widmet. 2005 erscheint „Mezmerize“. Es erreicht großen kommerziellen Erfolg und klettert in elf Ländern (u. a. Deutschland) auf Platz eins der Charts. Mezmerize ist jedoch nur der erste Teil eines Albumpaares. Zusammen mit dem am 18. November 2005 erschienenen Album „Hypnotize“ bildet es eine musikalische und inhaltliche Einheit. Laut eigener Aussage der Band wollten sie die zur gleichen Zeit aufgenommenen Lieder nicht alle gleichzeitig auf den Markt bringen, nicht nur um die Verkaufszahlen zu erhöhen, sondern auch um dem Publikum Zeit zu lassen, sich mit dem Stoff des ersten Teils auseinandersetzen zu können. Nach den beiden Alben will die Band eine Ruhepause einlegen, in der sich die vier Mitglieder mehr ihrem Privatleben und Soloprojekten widmen wollen, wie Gitarrist Daron Malakian kürzlich in einem MTV-Interview verlautbaren ließ.

 

ein paar Songtexte

LONELY DAY
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It's a day that I can't stand

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's a day that I'll never miss

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life

And if you go
I wanna go with you
And if you die
I wanna die with you

Take your hand
And walk away

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
It's a day that I'm glad I survived

SAD STATUE
Conquest to the lover
And your love to the fire
Permanence unfolding in the absolute
Forgiveness is the ultimate sacrifice
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror

The pictures of time and space are rearranged
In this little piece of typical tragedy
Justified candy
Brandy for the nerves
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror

You and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agree

You and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agree

I forgot to
I forgot to let you know that
Justified candy
Brandy for the nerves
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror

Conquest to the lover
And your love to the fire
Permanence unfolding in the absolute
Forgiveness is the ultimate sacrifice
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror

You and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agree

You and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agree
Generation

What is in us that turns a deaf ear to the cries of human suffering
Suffering, suffering now

You and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agree

You and me
We'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty
And a generation that didn't agree
Generation

Belonging
Belonging to

B.Y.O.B.
Why do they always send the poor

Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels
Victorious victories kneel
For brand new spankin' deals

Marching forward hypocritic and
Hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Blast off
It's party time
And we don't live in a fascist nation

Blast off
It's party time
And where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sun

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor
They always send the poor



SOLDIER SIDE
Dead men lying on the bottom of the grave
Wondering when Savior comes
Is he gonna be saved
Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life
Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back

They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find the truth
He's never going home

Young men standing on the top of their own graves
Wondering when Jesus comes
Are they gonna be saved
Cruelty to the winner, Bishop tells the King his lies
Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die

They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back

They were crying when their sons left
All young men must go
He's come so far to find no truth
He's never going home

Welcome to the Soldier Side
Where there's no one here but me
People all grow up to die
There is no one here but me

Welcome to the Soldier Side
Where there's no one here but me
People on the soldier's side
There is no one here but me
