System of a Down En una publicación en Facebook que después fue eliminada, Shavo Odadjian , bajista de System of a Down , expresó su disgusto por la decidia del vocalista Serj Tankian , quien aparentemente ha detenido la producción de un nuevo disco de la banda. Sobre esto, el bajista comentó que la mejor opción era buscar un nuevo frontman . Tal como publicó Loudwire , esto es parte de lo que Shavo Odadjian escribió: Ok... [...]

It's been eight years since System of a Down released their double album,  Mezmerize / Hypnotize . They've toured sporadically since, but there's been no inkling of new music to the dismay of fans and even some band members. In a since-deleted Facebook posting (via Loudwire ), bassist Shavo Odadjian railed against frontman Serj Tankian for holding up a new album and suggested the band would be open to recording music with a different singer. Maybe they can ask Linkin Park for Chester Bennington's phone number ? ok….. Ill come [...]

It's been a while since we've had a concrete update on new material from System Of A Down. They haven't released new material since 2005's double album, Mesmerize/Hypnotize and in that time frontman Serj Tankian has developed quite the solo career, while his bandmates have also gotten mild success with their solo projects. While the ... The post Is SYSTEM OF A DOWN Contemplating Moving On Without Frontman Serj Tankain? appeared first on Metal Injection .

Well, I'm sure this is gonna go over really well with Serj.

Ojo con la actualización que acaba de publicar el bajista de SOAD , Shavo Odadjian, en su página oficial de Facebook. Entre otras excentridades, pregunta a la gente si debería haber un nuevo disco de System Of A Down sin el vocalista Serj Tankian : No quiero grabar un disco nuevo sin él... pero, ¿qué pasa si no está por la labor? ¿deberíamos nosotros tres sentarnos y esperar a que él esté listo? ¡No mola! Quiero que los seguidores de todo el mundo, incluyendo Brasil, nos digan lo que piensan. [...]

A few weeks ago, I got an invite to go to David Draiman's house in Texas. He was going to provide food from the best barbecue joint in Austin. The catch? I had to listen to the new album from his new project, Device . Mmmm, barbecue. How bad could it be, right? Mmmm, barbecue. 'Mad' David Draiman. He's the singer from Disturbed. He made that weird monkey noise in rock club floor-filler, 'Stupify' . He's the guy with those [...]

Serj Tankian has been up to some stuff, including a jam with Devin Townsend and Ihsahn! This is not that. This is orchestral music. Serj Tankian has been doing some stuff lately, namely his Orca project that's all instrumental orchestral music composed by the man himself. It certainly seems like it'll be cool in context ...

Just let that sink in for a second- three big metal guys are on a song dedicated to Nelson Mandela (and Lucky Dube), which will be mixed and mastered by metal and pop producers. Is it safe to say that metal is a big deal yet? Alright, so the single is being put out by ...

Annunci di interessanti uscite discografiche, in quest'ultima giornata di Aprile. Partiamo con una sorpresa: Serj Tankian, Ihsahn e Devin Townsend si sono riuniti per registrare un singolo di beneficienza, che prenderà il nome di Revolution Harmony . Il singolo in realtà è stato scritto e composto dal giornalista Ray Holroyd - sicuramente nella sua carriera lavorativa Ray avrà stretto contatti con i musicisti intervistati, visto che per questo progetto è riuscito a chiamare la voce dei System Of A Down, quella degli Emperor, e la chitarra di Townsend. Il singolo "We Are" uscirà il 18 Luglio, [...]

Serj Tankian è sempre sinonimo di soldout, in Italia: sia che venga da solo, sia che venga con i System Of A Down, i biglietti spariscono sempre. Nel 2013 Sarj farà 'doppietta', prima con i SOAD a Rho il 27 Agosto , e poi con il suo progetto solista, con tre concerti speciali appena annunciati. Saranno speciali perchè, dopo la fortunata esperienza avuta con l'Orchestra Filarmonica Italiana (nel 2010 a Roma e Milano, qui le foto del concerto al Teatro degli Arcimboldi ), Serj tornerà a suonare proprio con loro, eseguendo dal vivo, con tutti gli strumenti [...]

The MTV VMAs have been entertaining teenagers since 1984 with the ridiculous antics of pop-stars and rock musicians in the USA and the world over. This year though, the awards will be held for the first time in India as the Micromax  MTV Video Music Awards India . We are told, via a pretty kvlt press release that featured a cover letter calling it the "Video and Music Awards" From Michael Jackson, Kurt Kobain (Ed's note: sic), Madonna and Jon Bon Jovi to Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Eminem and U2, the biggest names in music [...]

As we noted yesterday , we've been going quietly gaga about the new Scott Walker record ever since we got a copy of it a few weeks back. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Bish Bosch is that, weird as it is — and, mark our words, it's really fucking weird  — it's still not as strange as the career trajectory of the man who made it. Walker's journey from the fresh-faced MOR pop idol of his Walker Brothers years to the experimental maverick who's just made what's arguably his best album yet at the age of [...]

Brace yourselves, Halloween is coming - so i made up a top 6 (only 0,99% from 666) with the world's sexiest vegetarian musicians.If you're asking why only vegetarians, it's because we have to remember to be kind with animals in this period of year(especially with black cats, because we all know how some go crazy when this holiday is coming and do nasty things to animals whom they associate with necromancy, occultism, etc.) and - who gives us a greater example than those whom music we listen to everyday? 6.
