DESCRIPTION:

2005 Nu Metal / Rock LP Pressed For First Time on Black Vinyl - It wasn't a lie when System of a Down said the packaging for Mezmerize and Hypnotize would slot together. Released in November 2005, roughly six months after its counterpart, Hypnotize does indeed feature a tri-fold design. But the extra cardboard slotting's a little extraneous, as are some of the sonic parts on both albums. Truth is the motor for System's spazzy, modernist thrash. It drives the boiling rage in Hypnotize's "Attack," "Stealing Society," and "U-Fig"; on "Holy Mountain," it inspires SOAD to transform the sad facts of genocide into the album's most vicious, powerful, and arresting moment. Of course, truth also drives SOAD to make passionate, if slightly screwy, decisions: Serj Tankian's ADD sputter of "eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em" and "banana banana banana terracotta" on Hypnotize; Mezmerize's detour into celebrity baseball game outtakes on "Old School Hollywood." These moments are head-scratchers, no doubt, but they're integral to the experience -- System of a Down confound and irritate even as they rock. And it's precisely because of that weird aggression/aggravation dynamic that Mezmerize/Hypnotize is as strong a concept/double album as metal can offer in 2005.

System of a Down is an Armenian-American heavy metal band formed in Glendale, California, in 1994. Since 1997, the lineup has consisted of Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards), Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals), and Shavo Odadjian (bass, backing vocals), along with drummer John Dolmayan, who replaced original drummer Andy Khachaturian. The band achieved commercial success with five studio albums, three of which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. System of a Down has been nominated for four Grammy Awards, winning Best Hard Rock Performance in 2006 for the song "B.Y.O.B." Their music is noted for politically focused lyrics, with songs addressing social and political themes, including anti-war commentary in "B.Y.O.B." and critiques of the prison industrial complex and the war on drugs in "Prison Song." The band went on hiatus in 2006 and reunited in 2010. Aside from the 2020 releases "Protect the Land" and "Genocidal Humanoidz," they have not released new material since the albums "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" in 2005. System of a Down has sold over 12 million records worldwide, and the singles "Aerials" and "Hypnotize" both reached number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. All members of the band are of Armenian descent, either born to Armenian immigrants or immigrants themselves.
