Steal This Album!

System of a Down

A high-velocity collection of manic metal and political satire. Unpredictable shifts from operatic vocals to thrash riffs define this raw, energetic record.

Experimental overflow

A jagged, unpolished urgency drives this collection of unreleased material, stripping away the studio sheen of previous sessions to expose a raw, experimental core. The music functions like a pirate radio transmission, careening wildly from manic, hyper-speed consumerist satire to somber acoustic reflections.
