Leaked Demos From SYSTEM OF A DOWN Side Project Not Legit

November 8, 2007

The Pulse of Radio reports: SYSTEM OF A DOWN side project SCARS ON BROADWAY, which features guitarist Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan, has posted a message at its official web site claiming that material that has surfaced online in the guise of "demos" from the band are not legitimate recordings. The post said, "Lately, there have been songs leaked onto YouTube labeled as 'SCARS ON BROADWAY demos.'We want to make it clear that this music is from a disbanded project from four years ago, and is in no way affiliated with SCARS ON BROADWAY. Any music that will be leaked or released from SCARS, will be done so directly to our fans through our official websites."

SCARS ON BROADWAY has been in the studio working on its debut album, which is likely to surface sometime in early 2008.

Asked what the band will sound like, Dolmayan told The Pulse of Radio it's both similar to and different from SYSTEM OF A DOWN: "I think you're gonna be pleasantly surprised. It's certainly a departure from SYSTEM, but it's gonna be difficult to completely take a departure, because you have two members of SYSTEM, and you have the primary songwriter also writing these songs. But it is definitely an evolution."

Dolmayan recently launched his own online comic book store, called Torpedo Comics, at TorpedoComics.com.

The drummer also contributed some work to "Elect the Dead", the recently released solo debut from SYSTEM frontman Serj Tankian.
