YouTuber Paschalis Theotokis covers every System of a Down song in 6 minutes with his own medley.

System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian had a lengthy chat with Rolling Stone about his recent work on film scores, Chris Cornell, and what's next for System Of A Down.

Whether you like it or not.

Have you ever had one of those conversations, where the topic inevitably turns to what type of music you listen to and the only response you know they'll understand is ‘um…heavy fucking metal’?

Well, we've decided it was high time that we put together a list of our top picks for the uninitiated. Next time you're trying to get somebody into metal, just show them these bands to kick-start their descent into the all-evil, totally unreal world we live in.

Drummer John Dolmayan has told Kerrang! in a recent interview that the band are on the verge of a new album, with 15 new tracks written and ready to record. 

"We’ve been working on a new album for the last six months and there’s about 15 songs that I think are album-worthy, but we don’t know what’s happening in terms of release, it’s still not 100% as far as plans go" Dolmayan says. 

Linkin Park’s new albumThe Hunting Party has undeniably been a surprise to everyone with the heaviness of the record - in a good way! One of the band’s lead singersChester Bennington recently took some time to talk withFull Metal Jackie to discuss how the band came to this sound, why their collaborations worked and what the original new Linkin Park album was meant to sound like.

But also maybe not.
