February 24, 2005

"Mesmerize", the first half of SYSTEM OF A DOWN's new double album, "Mesmerize/Hypnotize", has reportedly had its release date pushed back to May 17. "Hypnotize" is due out sometime this fall.

The first official single from the album, "B.Y.O.B.", will make its way to rock radio next month. A track called "Cigaro" has already been leaked online and picked up by stations around the country.

As previously reported, SYSTEM OF A DOWN are rumored to be planning a show at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California in mid-March as part of MTV's "$2 Bill" concert series. No further details are currently available.

MTV's "$2 Bill" concert series was born out of the marketing department in 2002 and has become a staple touring and programming opportunity for the network since its introduction. The network is staging "$2 Bill" events on a quarterly basis.
