System Of A Down are a unique crossover band. They started out strong with the hard sounds of alternative metal but have gone through several genres in their career, making them a must listen for all fans of metal. They were signed to Rick Rubin’s American Recordings label and released their first album HYPNOTIZE in 1998. This gave them a boost that they needed and the band went on to release a series of hits like MEZMERIZE, STEAL THIS ALBUM, TOXICITY and many more!
