Toxicity

Chaotic, explosive, and unapologetically political—System of a Down’s Toxicity is a genre-defying masterpiece that cemented the band as one of the most unique and fearless voices in heavy music. Released in 2001, this album fuses thrash metal, Armenian folk influences, alternative rock, and sharp socio-political commentary, creating a sound that is as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.

From the brutal intensity of Prison Song to the hypnotic grooves of Aerials and the high-energy madness of Chop Suey!, Toxicity is an unrelenting, mind-bending ride. With Serj Tankian’s operatic vocals, Daron Malakian’s razor-sharp riffs, Shavo Odadjian’s pulsing bass, and John Dolmayan’s powerhouse drumming, this album is equal parts fury and finesse.

Now pressed on high-quality vinyl, Toxicity brings out the depth, dynamics, and sheer intensity of SOAD’s groundbreaking sound, making it the ultimate way to experience this nu-metal classic.
