While the prospect of new System Of A Down music remains a pipedream at this point in time, it's always nice to hear vocalist Serj Tankian's pipes wherever they may pop up. In this case, he's appeared on Lebanese violin wizard Ara Malikian's new folk-metal track called 'The Rough Dog'. While it's something a bit different and not entirely heavy, it's a very interesting track which flitters between manic bursts of violin with Serj's operatic delivery and slower, folk-like tendencies.
The song is also about a naughty little dog which keeps biting people's legs. It's all very strange in a very Serj way. Have a listen below:
While System Of A Down have been booked to headline some major festivals in 2019, there is still no news on the recording front. Although, guitarist Daron Malakian did release a new album from his side-project Scars On Broadway earlier this year, and bassist Shavo Odadijan was recently snapped playing 'Toxicity' at his son's preschool. Cute!
Listen to System Of A Down now.
