  • "Toxicity" is a song by the American rock band System of a Down. It was released as the lead single from their second studio album, also titled "Toxicity," which was released in 2001. The song and the album were both highly successful, contributing to the band's rise in popularity.
    "Toxicity" is known for its aggressive and energetic sound, blending elements of alternative metal, nu metal, and punk rock. The lyrics touch on themes of societal issues, censorship, and the toxicity of modern life. The song's powerful instrumentation, combined with the intense vocal delivery of lead singer Serj Tankian, made it a signature track for System of a Down.
    "Toxicity" received critical acclaim and became one of System of a Down's most popular songs. It reached the top of the charts in multiple countries and helped the album achieve multi-platinum status. The song's success further solidified System of a Down's reputation as one of the most unique and influential rock bands of the early 2000s.

    Sugar, BYOB, Prison Song, Aerials, Chop Suey, Spiders. SOAD are fully goated. Serj is a classically trained opera singer. These guys were epic to see LIVE. 🐐🐐🐐🐐

      My current husband made me a mix CD with Chop Suey & Prison Song on it to play in my car on my way to work as an Ohio Correctional Officer to help boost my aggression level as needed. I am usually just a Zep head, but some days needed the bigger attitude booster that SOD supplied.

    Other bands you might want to check out (I had a quick look on your channel but didn't see any of these, apologies if you have already been there) are
    The Ramones (Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna be Sedated, the KKK took my baby away, to name a few of many)

    The Interrupters (She's Kerosene, Take Back the Power, Alien)
    Dead Kennedies
