SOAD is planning on taking a long hiatus after completing this
summer's Ozzfest. The group's guitarist, Daron Malakian, is forming a
new band called Scars On Broadway and plans to work on their debut
album this fall. Malakian told Billboard.com that Odadjian is likely
to be part of the group.

Odadjian is also planning to collaborate musically with the Wu-Tang
Clan.

Ozzfest kicked off in Seattle on June 29 and will wrap up on August 13
in West Palm Beach, Florida. System Of A Down is co-headlining most of
the trek with Disturbed, with Ozzy Osbourne topping the bill on
selected dates.

System Of A Down discuss upcoming projects

07.13.06

System Of A Down will be going on an indefinite hiatus following their
appearance at this summer's Ozzfest. For guitarist Daron Malakian and
bassist Shavo Odadjian, it's Scars On Broadway, a fresh collective
that's still very much in progress but should start working on
material this fall.

"It's going to be another band that both me and Shavo are in, and
we're going to try and go places we haven't with System," Malakian
explained to mtv.com. "Each [System] bandmember has his own thing he
wants to do. Shavo has films he plans on working on too. So we all
have artistic itches we want to get through, and I think these are
healthy ways to do it. We've been around for 12 years, so it's nice
for us to break a little free and come back and hopefully appreciate
[being in System] more someday. We're not putting any timelines on it.

"[Scars] are going to go into a lot of different fields that System
haven't gone into," he continued. "I mean, heavy metal is an
influence, but it's not the focus of System Of A Down. There will be
metal elements in Scars, but that's not what's going to define the
music."

System Of A Down malfunctioning?

07.06.06

Launch Radio Networks reports: Despite repeated assurances that their
forthcoming "hiatus" is not a break-up, System Of A Down reportedly
acted like a band on the brink at the opening day of this summer's
Ozzfest last Thursday (June 29) in Auburn, Washington, about 30 miles
from Seattle. According to mtv.com, the members of System arrived at
the venue in separate tour buses. Guitarist Daron Malakian "seemed to
be struggling to keep up with the rest of the band" and improvised
lyrics during the first few songs of their performance. During the
song "Lonely Day", while looking at vocalist Serj Tankian, Malakian
crooned, "Such a lonely day, hanging out with the band/ This
motherf***er, I can't stand."

A source at System's record label told Launch not to read all that
much into last Thursday's events, adding that the members have
traveled on separate buses for a while now. Malakian himself recently
said that the group's plans to take an indefinite amount of time off
after Ozzfest don't spell the end for System Of A Down. "I think when
a band says, 'Hey, you know, we're not gonna shoot out records
consistently for a little while,'people are gonna assume that we're
breaking up," he said. "But people can call it whatever they want. We
know what it is, and we're comfortable with that. If we were breaking
up, we wouldn't be able to get onstage together on this tour."

Daron: Break is about 'being creative'

06.12.06

Launch Radio Networks reports:
System Of A Down guitarist Daron Malakian says that he knows some fans
aren't happy about the group taking a long hiatus after completing
this summer's Ozzfest. But Malakian told Launch that taking time off
from System for other projects is necessary for the group to stay
fresh.
"I know a lot of people get into bands and stuff, but you've gotta
remember inside the bands there's artists, and there's itches and
things that you wanna get done, or have some kind of freshness in your
life," he said.
"So it's never been about, like, 'Hey, let's consistently shoot out
System records and make the biggest money in the world,' you know what
I mean? For us, it's more about being creative and being able to be
creative.'"

System Of A Down ready for Ozzfest before break

06.09.06

Launch Radio Networks reports:
System Of A Down plans a lengthy hiatus after completing its run on
this summer's Ozzfest, but that doesn't mean the group isn't looking
forward to co-headlining the annual heavy rock festival. Drummer John
Dolmayan told Launch that he and his bandmates expect to enjoy
themselves: "Well, it should be a lot of fun," he said. "They usually
are. It's kind of like, we call it, like, 'rock and roll summer camp.'
It's gonna be good to be out there and it'll probably be a lot of the
same crew members that have been on it. So for us it's always a good
time."

Guitarist Daron Malakian recently told mtv.com that System would take
a long break after Ozzfest and work on separate projects. He added
that the group wasn't breaking up, but that "it's going to be a little
while before we go out again."

The guitarist is forming a new band called Scars On Boradwayand plans
to work on its debut album this fall. Malakian told Billboard.com that
System bassist Shavo Odadjian is likely to be part of the group.

Odadjian is also planning to collaborate musically with the Wu-Tang
Clan.

Ozzfest kicks off in Seattle on June 29 and will wrap up on August 13
in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The latest single from System Of A Down's "Hypnotize" album is "Kill
Rock 'N' Roll".

Daron Malakian preps new band

06.08.06

System Of A Down guitarist Daron Malakian has told Gary Graff of
Billboard.com that he is in the process of forming and writing songs
for Scars On Broadway, which will start operating in earnest once
Ozzfest wraps in mid-August. The band is shooting to have its debut
album out in the summer of 2007.

"I'm still kind of getting the whole band together at this point,"
Malakian told Billboard.com. "After I get back home from Ozzfest
that's pretty much what I'll be focusing on.

"I think a System fan will be able to relate to the music, but there's
a few different directions I want to take, whether it be a little bit
more ethnic or sometimes electronic," he added. "There's just a few
artistic directions I want to take with Scars that I haven't taken
with System yet."

System Of A Down to go on hiatus following Ozzfest

05.03.06

System Of A Down guitarist Daron Malakian has told mtv.com that the
band's headlining stint on this summer's Ozzfest will be the last time
in a "a few years" that they be appearing onstage together under the
System banner.

"I'll always be a member of System Of A Down," he said. "That will
never change. There's no rule that says you have to make records
constantly, like clockwork, to continue being who you are. We want to
live our lives, [because being in a band] really consumes a big part
of your life, and sometimes you just want to stop and slow down. We
started being just these guys in a band, and the next thing you know,
everyone's asking for autographs. It plays with your head."

Malakian said, after this summer's Ozzfest - which will kick off in
Seattle on June 29 and wrap up August 13 in West Palm Beach, Florida -
System Of A Down will go on "hiatus."

"We're not breaking up," Malakian insisted. "If that was the case, we
wouldn't be doing this Ozzfest, because we're a little nervous" about
trying to fill Ozzy Osbourne's shoes. Ozzy will be headlining just 10
of this year's Ozzfest dates, with System topping the bill on Ozzy's
off days. "We're going to take a very long break after Ozzfest and do
our own things," he added. "We've done System for over 10 years, and I
think it's healthy for us to get away from it for a while and come
back to it later on. So, this is probably going to be ... well, it's
not a farewell tour, but it's going to be a little while before we go
out again."

New book about System Of A Down published today

04.30.06

Right here in Hollywood is the name of a new book on System Of
A Down. The author, Ben Myers, offers an in-depth view on the band's
roots and way of becoming the well-known and appreciated band SOAD is
these days.

Spewed forth from the loins of mid-1990s southern California, System
Of A Down have evolved from a cult band whose demo tapes swapped hands
voraciously on the metal underground to one of the world’s biggest
acts. Relentless early gigging spread a word-of-mouth hype around them
that soon created major label interest and the gold-selling eponymous
debut album. Despite their ultra-hard music and dark undertones, SOAD
have always managed to break out of the underground.

Show-stealing support slots with Ozzy Osbourne and Slayer propelled
the band to new heights, but it was their second album, the seminal
Toxicity, that turned SOAD from an underground phenomenon into a
mainstream smash. After the release of their globally acclaimed hit
album Mezmerize, SOAD had shifted in excess of 25 million albums.

With exclusive new interviews with the band and major players involved
in their story, Ben Myers’ book will be the first and the definitive
account of this remarkable band. All members are Armenian-American - a
first for any Western rock band. Thus the book is crammed with
contextual/historical analysis, potted histories of nu-metal, politics
in music, the LA music scene and its surrounding subculture.

The nature of their genre-defying music - blending metal, punk,
hardcore, Eastern European folk, rap, gypsy music - means this book
can appeal to a wide-ranging of readership.

Ben Myers interviewed System Of A Down at their first ever UK headline
show in 1999 and has been a huge fan ever since. He also runs a record
label, Captains Of Industry.

“Myers’ work is always well-researched,
passionate and grounded in reality.
He builds a picture of a band with deft expertise.”
