System of a Down

System of a Down (sometimes referred to as S.O.A.D.) is a popular heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California. There is some contention as to whether their music is best described as alternative metal or nu metal. The band consists of Serj Tankian (vocals, keyboards), John Dolmayan (drums), Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals) and Shavo Odadjian (bass), who are known more for the outspoken social and political views found in their songs than for their distinctive dress styles and goatees. All four members are of Armenian ancestry.
