SYSTEM OF A DOWN Frontman's NOTORIOUS B.I.G. Remix Surfaces On Video Game Soundtrack

October 12, 2005

According to MTV.com, SYSTEM OF A DOWN frontman Serj Tankian's remix of the NOTORIOUS B.I.G.'s "Who Shot Ya" is featured on the soundtrack to Marc Ecko's "Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure" game, along with three other tracks executive co-produced by Diddy (the other three are from Talib Kweli and Rakim, Pack FM, and Pharoahe Monch). Kweli is also the voice of the game's lead character, Trane. RZA, meanwhile, is composing an exclusive remix for one of the game's cinematic videos.

As previously reported, American Recordings/Columbia will release two versions of "Hypnotize", SYSTEM OF A DOWN's fifth studio album, on November 22. Both the CD and DualDisc versions feature 12 new songs as well as artwork by Vartan Malakian, father of SYSTEM OF A DOWN's guitarist/singer Daron. The packaging for "Hypnotize" is specially designed to physically join "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" together, forming one unified product with continuous artwork. Additionally, the DualDisc edition will contain exclusive behind-the-scenes footage showing the making of both records.

SYSTEM OF A DOWN filmed performance footage for their video for "Hypnotize"'s title track on September 28 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI.
