Why System of a Down’s Comeback is Perfectly Timed

Why System of a Down’s Comeback is Perfectly Timed

The internet has been clamoring over the return of eclectic metal giants, System of a Down and their announcement of a new album releasing this year, which some are already predicting will chart. With the political discourse, not just in the USA, but around the world… 2017 couldn’t have been a better year to return to the fold. Vocalist Serj Tankian has never been shy when it comes to his political views, most vivid in songs like “Aerials” and the ever-popular “B.Y.O.B.” which states “Why don’t presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?”

With Donald Trump as our president and all the proposed changes that, let’s face it, can make or break this country… All the wars and corruption going on worldwide and society in general, it seems we’re headed into oblivion but bands like System of a Down, Rise Against, Green Day and more will seek to invoke a positive change in the world and pull the wool from the public’s eyes.

System of a Down’s comeback album could be the most important of the year due to the urgency for an honest, up-front take on current events and the rising popularity of the nu-metal and alternative metal genres.
