System of a Down Find Meaning in Madness at Amnesia Rockfest 2015

FUSE TV - System of a Down Find Meaning in Madness at Amnesia Rockfest 2015

For the last decade or so, System of a Down have been largely inactive. They reunited in that time, but haven't released an album. They've played gigs and flirted with the idea of new material, but didn't deliver. It wasn't until 2014 when it truly felt that SOAD were back, with the band returning in memory of the 100 year anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

All of the band's ancestry hails from that region of the world but its rich history usually goes undocumented or, at the very least, unexplored in Western narrative. When we hear the "g" word, our minds jump to the Holocaust instead of the event that coined it.

For System of a Down, so much of their identity is birthed from that place: Erasure, the stories of war that are ignored. Toxicity, the group's most iconic record, released September 2001, deals with just that. It's a dadaist, conceptual nu-metal (!) record about the Armenian Genocide
