Crazy how a 53-year-old mans and 3 dudes in their 40’s have been in “hiatus” for nearly 15 years and still sound like they did in their 30’s.
Crazy what needing to defend your homelands can do. Dont forget why they're back.
... this literally sounds like every other soad song. Not hating on them but this certainly isn't breaking any new ground... a lot of bands who came up these guys are in their 50s now and doing it better.
@@KEKEISYOU if that's your bag then thats great. But I didn't find it particularly impressive given their ages. Danny carey will be 60 this year, jordan rudess is 63, Dave grohl is in his mid 50s... all those artists are still writing songs that will never be forgot... I don't imagine many will remember this song in a couple years
Bro they took a break about 14 years ago and come back like this, literally without any drop in the quality of the music. I love them so much, that's why they are so memorable.
Drop C for the ultimate win. I wonder if they wrote this 12 years ago and for whatever the reason, it didn't make the cut. Now, all this time later, they're like "Hey remember that one song? Let's make a single out of it!" and here we are. That's how seamless this shit seems to me.
But looking at Serj having greyish hair makes me sad they are getting older by the day 😭😭 it felt just like yesterday when i found BYOB on local cable and was it awoken the dormant love for rock music and moving onto metal
@@franktothemax they made this song and “protect the land” due to a war going on, and many Armenians were displaced and lost their lives. I won’t speak more on it cause I don’t know anything about it, but they were brought back together due to their heritage and outrage. Look into it!!
Please write another album. The World needs SOAD clarity right now
@@SnowBlnd12 Yeh I remember reading a headline about iti last year, they're working on stuff apparently
@@codyburgess5522 I know back in 2016 they started working on an album together but cancelled it after creative differences
Serj and Daron's voice together is better than antidepressants.
Ehh I don’t know I liked it better before daron started singing with him
THE WORLD NEEDS A NEW SYSTEM OF A DOWN ALBUM!
Breaking news: Turkish SOAD fans trying to invade Erivan for new SOAD album
Todo es culpa de Serj. Si no fuera por el tendríamos muchos disco de SOAD, o al menos uno nuevo este 2021
@@blearyblazon4355 It's all Serj's fault, if it weren't for him we'd have a System of a down album every year. Or at least a new album in this year 2021
Only SOAD can throw in a Black Metal riff and make it work into their style.
These guys dipped for 14 years and came back with literally no drop off in song quality. Could have come out in 2008 and sounded exactly like this. Incredible
remember when SLT opened for SOAD. so sick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The drummer playing blast beats at his age is incredible. These guys still got it. God dang I want a new album
Can't say I was expecting that black metal part in the middle during my first listen lol
I can't believe i lived long enough to see a new system of a down videoclip.
there is a clip 2 month ago

the return of a legendary band
1:58 the visuals and the music truly show the beauty that System of a Down creates. Love them
I also love viza... really modern day version of SOAD... only no one can hold a candle to a real deal bad
SOAD comeback is something that everyone needs in these problematic times
What "problematic times?"
As long as I'm still able to buy smack in Hollywood, all is well!
@@diegogatjens3023 dude, cool it with the Trump hate. That usuper Biden isn't going to last very long. 45's going to be back in office a lot sooner than you think, so watch your mouth. Haters like you won't be welcome in the new era that's coming.
@@diegogatjens3023 what terrorism you mean? What conspiracy theory? Do you even know the meaning of this song? What made them write 2 new songs last year?
Its one time think buddy dont get your hopes up
Serj is just doing that for a cause hes not really intresting in coming back
This song sounds like it could've easily been lifted from Hypnotize. It's crazy to see that they can still capture that old magic and to hear Serj's aggressive vocals again is so amazing. Serj's vocals, Daron's writing, and their harmonies are what make System Of A Down such a great band.
I imagine the other 2 reading your comment 😂
Whose names I also don't know 😂😂😂
@@NairiAreg there names are john (the drummer) and shavo (base guitar)
Serj is not aggressive in here at all. I missed some old aggressive voice, but I think we'll never here it again in actual SOAD songs.
I love how there isn't even one negative comment and we all collectively agree that soad never disappoint
except serj live that sound like shit and doesn't even wannna be there and makes it obvious
Imagine a full lenght album with this sound 🔥🔥🔥
I can't believe this is real. I truly thought System of a Down would never get back together. Just when I think I have nothing new to listen to, they slap me right in the ass
Just a little sting but will forever be left with a belt marking on the ass. System of a Down never dies.
@@MKAnr1 Since they made NEW music. Didn't they do a tour or two in like 2018 or something. ( I don't remember when but it was within a couple years)
@@HB-ee3hq I do not know, but a quick search and you can at least see that they already play concerts in 2011 and until now, but exactly when they started again, I do not know, it was of course with old music, but they still played again .
1:11 love that industrial, power tool sounding bridge. Also, Dolyman is letting his rage of not making more SoaD albums flow through here, he's ripping!
Yeah! It sounds more like PUNK, than metal.. And I like true Punk Rock a lot! 🤘
This is literally the only band for which I can hear every random song I find over and over and never get bored, and this is no exception. I'm overjoyed to see they still got it.
15 years and still nothing has changed theyre just as good as they used to be
man this feels like such classic SOAD. not forced or trying hard, just doing their thing. so happy they did this.
Yeah, I miss the old drummer John Bohnman. They sound pretty good with this lineup though
It's like you guys were frozen. Then defrosted and ready to raise hell when needed. Just continued on with exactly the same vibe, strength and meaning as what feels like so long ago. You guys are legends
Wow, I'm recently getting into system of a down and have heard this song on playlist and never knew it was recent, they still have the same vibe as they did back in their early days
This could have been on Steal This Album and not sound out of place one bit.
@@jamesb1988 100% they made this so easy and it doesn't seem tacky or dated at all. Hell they gotta have 2 more solid albums in them as a band
I got into SOAD last year and couldn't believe this is from 2020. It honestly sounds like the same stuff from the early 2000s.
Their sound, their voices, Serj's jacket, the direction. Everything about this video reminds me of Mezmerize and Hypnotize.
Daron wrote the two new songs as well as most songs in Mezmerize/Hypnotize. His music style hasn't changed that much, that's why they sound so similar. His latest album, Dictator, also sounds a lot like that
The world needs SOAD now more than ever before
We need System as they are supposed to be. If they aren't getting along, it will show. I'm hoping this is gonna be a good album. I've been binging their earlier stuff.
@@carminescurse Sry, but im pretty sure there is not going to be a new album
I love SOAD. Even though they cannot get along as musicians, they can still come together when the world needs them, even if only for 2 songs. Absolutely beautiful.
The black metal chord progression over the blast beat is a jewel crowned by Serj vocals. Beautiful is a huge understatement.
I've missed SOAD. Can't believe I was a teenager when they were around. Now they are back I'm in 30s. Wild.
really glad you guys still make things together, special thanks for adding some animation in it
Every time I listen to these guys, I get carried away in my school years.. But, now I understand how tough it is and deserves attention...Culture is obliged to say thank you to these guys, they turned over the alternative... Thank you from the heart to my favorites, you have always been and will be the best for me, your music helped me become a person, not a vegetable! Low bow!
Straight up fuckin banger.
Like, my whole life this band has just been so great.
This Das a welcomed surprise.
It's so weird... I was 15 when I first heard of them. I'm now 28, but I _still_ felt 15 again while this song played.
Lol... i was 13 when i discovered them in 1999 lol.. hahaha i know EXACTLY how you feel lol
Was 9 when I first heard Sugar back in 2006 or something. Hearing this style of theirs all of a sudden brought me back to those days. Their style just never changes!
1:20 System of a Black Metal
@@xvor_tex8577 tbh it’s a tie between that one and the one from lonely day
I'm convinced these guys couldn't put out bad music if they tried. Wish they'd get it together and put out another album
we've seen attemps at them making bad songs deliberately and the result was Vicinity Of Obscenity, one of the best songs from Hypnotize.
ehh we have 4 amazing albums. They just don't have common ground anymore. John is antivax n shit... sad
I think 36 from Steal this album is one of the closest to be a "bad" song. And yet It still sounds really good actually lol (I'd add Arto from Toxicity as an example too)
Damn to think that they can write masterpieces like this at their age is just mind blowing. I hope they continue to make songs that will stay in history.
@@lonesomniacserji e daron nao se dao bem mais, they don't even follow each other on Instagram anymore, they shouldn't even be friends, so it's over
@@iroybailon2363 :( i did think about this, they have different views, but they still talk, though im so sad at the thought soad wont make any new music, like ever, what is even worse i wasnt even born when system was in their prime, i wish i could witness it. Their music and not only but them as a whole make me happy so its a bit weird to think about.
So glad to see that System Of A Down never lost their touch like alot of other bands have
True, my hope is still on a full length new album somwhere in the future.
But he, we got two new songs so for that, i,m extremely happy😎.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I really dont understand how people expect bands to stay the same and stuck in time for 20+ years.
15 years and still has a unique style, come on many sounds you guys are great.
"No, they're not metal, they're so much more than..."
*John Dolmayan throws in blast beats*
@@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385 I'll go with the second option, thanks
Right!!! I ran back to my computer with pure joy! That little bit of black metal is entirely new!
Our lads are getting old but their voices never change
@@underneonloneliness2 Which is exactly why Daron has been the lead singer in this song and the other one while Serj has been like a secondary singer
daron's has changed a bit, and serj's even more than that. they still sound great, though. daron sounds better, even.
This goes extremely hard. The blastbeats and vocals at 1:30 are perfect - the production, execution, everything... If this ends up being the final song of their career then I can't imagine them going out on a higher note.
Everyone's ignoring the message,
everyone's talking about these two new songs ....
SOAD is Love SOAD is Life
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
The first sign - the Earth will spin faster.
The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
- banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist
- Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.
- „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“

This song is 100% SOAD. It feels like they never stopped playing together.
And great video by the way with an important message.
the only thing is that it is not true. And what they do is support the war
This band needs to come back
i dont care what people say serj is still a amazing vocalist
It`s like pausing the career track in 2005 and then suddenly pressing play again in 2021. Worth the 15 year wait.
@@comicsans1689 But theyre also gettin up there in age and STILL sound better than most these va jay jays on YT and it was a breath of fresh air hearing one of my favs from my high school days come back and do it RIGHT! because lets admit it, That last slipknot album was HOT ASS and I was giving up hope of seeing any type of prog that DIDNT consist of some overly arrogant D-Bag talking about DJENT! 🤦
Thank You SOAD!🤘😁🤘
How can they still go this hard?? This is crazy, I love them
Bro i love these artists i have been listening them since 12. I'm 23 now and they still amaze me
hey try this one on for size. i'm 50 and saw them in their first concert appearance in Dallas, Tx so i'll let you figure out how long I've partied with "The System..." The "System Of A Down" Or the flack that they caught from like every church group for singing he "cries, when Angels deserve to die..." Relious groups were like, "did he just say Amgels deserve to die? Oh, well that's causse this band is the Devil's work! This is just Lucifer trying to steal our chidlren!" It was like no stupid Karen, do your homework, duh - it's about self rights to do whatever the HELL we want with our lives, even if it means too die by our own hand. Our own drug. Our own hell. Or whatever I chose to do with it, not you Karen..." It was like damn, don't these Karen types read lyrics or understand what he means, perhaps ask them and find out it is sad song, but yet it's not because it is very liberating to know that even people around you see YOU, ME, HE, SHE, WE, OR ALL OF US - as Angel's... It's just too bad we don't look at each other as ALL beautiful ANGELS IN OUR OWN RIGHTS, BODY'S & MINDS... Nope, not us we dumb ass humans are still arguing over some rock where somebosy ascended from at this exact spot or whatever abrahamic based religion, like DUH, JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS ARE ALL FROM ABRAHAM. SO WHY WOULD ANY HOLY WAR EVEN EXIST IF WE ARE BELIEVE IN Abraham? And we Humans think we are even ready to meet another race, species, alien or whatever--- really look down from above, we are an embarrasment to each other species, wtf do you think they would say looking down at us? "ahh, look they are soo cute, loving, warm and helpful to each other- what a wonderful species this planet is, we should go down and say "hi" and meet them... Yeah, right! Maybe someday, after we ALL get together and just be humble & kind to each other. "Humble & KInd" hmm great country song tho.... But then we would have to give up things like "gun powder...' Well, yeah maybe---whatever Rob keep the pipe dream alive.... Nameste, Amen, Amun Ra, thank you, bless you, may Christ be with you, allah akbar... Think about that ending... PS. great Osama track tho and the little kid dancing but he is going to grow up to be a suicide bomber, right! Ahhh, yes--NO not if told the REAL truth...
Cameraman: omg..my hands are shaking...
SOAD: That's even better...
You know the world's in a bad place when SOAD has got something to say
In a perfect world bands like system wouldnt exist. In a perfect world a lot of shit wouldn;'t be around because you know
I agree. 'Cause they have been gone for nearly 15 years. And if they litterly come back together. That means somethin is coming down.
SOAD has been talking about these things for decades. It's just we were not awake yet but now we are.
Such a unique band, with a unique sound, and the vocal duets/harmonies are so well written
Honestly one of my all time favorite SOAD songs
Holy shit, they didn't just release a new song, they released a fucking banger!!!
They just released TRUTH OF WHATS TO COME AT END OF THIS YEAR AND START OF A NIGHTMARISH FILLED WITH THE PURE EVIL AND HORRORS OF THE ABYSS UNIMANGINABLE BLOODBATH.... THESE ARE THE END OF DAYS NO BULLSHIT THE FAKE IMPOSTER IS SOON TO ARISE THE SUN GOD APOLLO ABBADDON , SATAN HIMSELF WOULD NOT EVEN TRY TO EVER GO AGAINST... THAT BAD JESUS IS ETERNAL PARADISE THE DEVIL IS ETERNAL DAMNATION AND SUFFERING
FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS YOURS ONLY YOU PAVE THE WAY FOR YOUR SOUL
The fact that these guys are still producing the same quality of music throughout the years is what makes them truly remarkable and memorable in so many ways
That my friend is subject of opinion. Not fact. IMO their quality dipped after hypnotize. In both song quality and live performance quality. Though the latter was more of serj not giving a shit live anymore.
Agree there is noticeable dip here especially, but that's not a shot at SOAD. They'll be legends forever.
That black metal riff is amazing
John Dolmayan’s energy on this track is fucking outstanding. One of the all time great drummers
Right?? It's all the rage of not getting to make more SoaD albums. You can definitely tell that he's the most upset member about the lack of new material over the years.
All the Armenians should be proud they have System of a Down. What a legendary act
Trust me, we are, even if you don't like the music, you can't ever deny the message

How did I miss this?! Absolutely phenomenal 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I'm glad you guys got back for this.
You guys should do a virtual concert with proceeds going to the fundraiser. I'd be in 100%.
other bands : "lets get back together, we need more money"
System Of A Down : "The people need us !! "
LOVED this band when they came out. Love them still now. Don't stop creating music, ever.
Bro. This actually is amazing. Listening to system of a down gets old after a while because they have less than 10 albums out so after a while you know all the songs by heart. But this, this is brilliant. Not only is it new, it still has that old SOAD feel to it. Those completely random, yet oddly melodic, riffs is just what I was missing. Love to Serj, John, Shavo, and Daron. 🥲
YEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!
Now the world has become so crazy that WE. REALLY. NEED. A NEW. ALBUM.
Can't thank SOAD members enough for their support and contributions to Artsakh. And this all would mean nothing without their international fans. My people thank you all.
Good to see they haven’t changed literally at all
Didn't you hear the black metal in the middle of the track? They changed somewhat
@@Notconceitedjustbetterthanyou all elements of black metal are within that riff, trem on chords, blast snare 1 double kick on 2 ride 16ths. I believe it is , and I should know. Nothing they've done before was as close to metal as this one particular riff so yeah. Black metal
If they ever make a new album, it's going to rock the face of the planet!
The old Soad is back
Sick as hell, classic soad sound
Jesus Christ, it's like they just picked up right where they left of in the mid 2000's!
you know this song was solely created by Malakian for another band, right?
@@kristiankrastanov5995 the song was created for SOAD but if Daron wasn't able to use it for SOAD, he would've used it for Scars
@@kristiankrastanov5995 not shocking as its known Daron made the majority of System songs then let serj and others modify it. Issue is Daron is very 1 dimensional vocally that's why Serj takes songs he writes to the next level.
Please guys, we need more SOAD right now more than ever 😭
How have I never heard this song yet???? LOVE IT 🤘
Producer: So how many flashes do you want?
Shavo: yes
SOAD’s return makes me feel like 12 years again when I used to listen all of their albums unrepeatedly.
i have soad fever many times a year, today its been a week of non stop watching live videos and shit. i love you guys
o serj é perfeito manooo🧸♥
System of a down is like wine, getting older but still killing it.
Props from Portugal 🤘
Idk why but watching these guys play, and seeing serj go wild is just satisfying
Because it's been to long and if you're anything like me system of a down was a huge part of growing up
System Of A Down is still around, kicking ass. I love how they still have their signature sound, no other band is even close to their style.
Seeing and hearing Serj and Daron back together is a joy I haven’t felt in awhile. It feels like they never left.
Man, this song just hits so HARD.
I love angry SOAD so much.
