SCARS ON BROADWAY: Video Interview With JOHN DOLMAYAN Available
July 11, 2008Italian website DelRock.it recently conducted an interview with SYSTEM OF A DOWN drummer John Dolmayan about SCARS ON BROADWAY — John's new band with SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian. Watch the chat at this location. A short preview is available below.
"Chemicals", a new track from SCARS ON BROADWAY, is available for streaming on the group's MySpace page.
SCARS ON BROADWAY will release its self-titled debut on July 29 via Interscope Records. Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan held off on shopping for a record contract until completing the CD. Malakian told The Pulse of Radio that the music won't be as heavy as his work with SYSTEM. "There are your aggressive moments, but I don't see it as being as metal as it is rock," he said. "It's just as eclectic as anything that I've done with SYSTEM, so it goes place to place. I think you'll hear my style there, you know, you'll hear touches of what you've heard from me before in some ways, and like I said, I think it drives more in a rock way than it does in a metal way."
The track listing for the effort is as follows:
01. Serious
02. Funny
03. Exploding/Reloading
04. Stoner-Hate
05. Insane
06. World Long Gone
07. Kill Each Other/Live Forever
08. Babylon
09. Chemicals
10. Enemy
11. Universe
12. 3005
13. Cute Machines
14. Whoring Streets
15. They Say
Both SCARS ON BROADWAY and SYSTEM lead singer Serj Tankian declined to release their latest projects through Columbia Records, where SYSTEM has been signed since 1998.
Tankian's debut solo effort, "Elect the Dead", came out last fall through the Warner Music Group.
SCARS ON BROADWAY will headline its first North American tour, performing in some two dozen cities during October and November.
The band made its live debut in April with a low-key show at the Whisky A-Go Go in Los Angeles, followed by a slot at the Coachella Festival in Indio, California. Tankian's solo band also played at Coachella.
SYSTEM OF A DOWN has been on hiatus since 2006 while its members have pursued various personal projects.
