Who Is On Tour With System Of A Down?
System of a Down are excited to share details about their highly-anticipated tour schedule for 2022, which includes some special guests.
Recently, American rock band System of a Down Tickets revealed the schedule of its concerts in 2022, which was pleasing for fans of the group. The tour starts on the 10th of April in Amsterdam and will go on through out Europe and the UK and then to North America in August. Opening for System of a Down in the whole tour are a fresh addition SCARS ON BROADWAY and Russian Circles, another equally great band.
Scars on Broadway Scars on Broadway is a band that has its main member as the System of a Down guitarist Daron Malakian. The band was founded in 2003, but due to some circumstances, the band members decided to take time off the production of new material, but the band started producing new material in 2018. Theirs is a sound said to be akin to System of a Down with its experimentation thrown in Malakian's penchant for thrash and heavy metal. These songs are from their 2022 album, which is yet to be released, They manage to set the mood of the crowd using powerful drumming complemented by Malakian's vociferous but melodic voice. Being among the founding members of System, Malakian's participation in the tour is definitely going to push the fans™ expectations to the roof.
Russian Circles It's a testament to the band that the instrumental trio known as Russian Circles has a strong fan base after being around for so long. Their last studio album, released in 2020, called Guidance, revolves around mesmerizing sonic patterns over low-tuned doom-sounding grooves, though it doesn't have clear vocals and lyrics. Russian Circles concert performances are notorious for their force, and this aspect will only suit System of a Down's performances. This is also the first time that Russian Circles will be headlining a large-scale arena tour, and therefore, one can be assured that the band will bring their A game to celebrate this achievement.
System of a Down It consisted of System of a Down band of friends in 1994 and got to the peak of its success with the album Toxicity issued in 2001. The album's hit single, Chop Suey! Quickly made its way into the alt-metal lexicon and catapulted Chevelle into the mainstream. But the conflicts occurred and System of a Down disbanded on a long hiatus after the release of their 2005 album Hypnotize. Occasionally they got back together just for touring but they did not recorded any album since 2005. However, it was not until 2020 that the band known as surprise has come out with two fantastic fresh tracks, the first in 15 years. With its raw intensity and provocative lyrics, Protect The Land showed that System of a Down have not lost their political edge and lyrical passion after years without a new record, while the latter track, Genocidal Humanoidz, demonstrated that the group has not forgotten how to experiment musically. Audiences are thrilled that a full-scale tour is at last planned after years of performing at festivals only and hoping that more new music will be released next.
What to Expect System Of A Down's live performance is something that has been discussed in the media countless of times. Their performances consist of high-speed, driving mosh pit songs with a few quieter ones and also emotional ones. Leading man Serj Tankian (vocals/keys) retains the same vocal strength and versatility in his fourth record as he did in his first. The combination of lead vocalist Daron Malakian and bassist Shavo Odadjian is exceptional in both and drives the complexity of Systemofadown. Rounding up the band is John Dolmayan on drums, who gives the band's sound a raw beating that complements a list of some of the best metal musicians. Special guests for this tour are Scars on Broadway and Russian Circles and it will be the first full-scale tour for System in years, which means that the audience is assured an unforgettable show.
The Setlist
Since this tour has been organized in support of their new music comebacks, it is safe to assume that System of a Down's setlist for the 2022 tour will feature mostly golden hits and new songs instead of the album's highlights. The group's most intoxicating, pyrotechnic tracks, such as Chop Suey," "ToxiciAerials, "B.Y.O.B." and Sugar," are likely to trigger circle pits in all the shows. These will be interspersed with vocal tracks such as Lonely Day, Lost in Hollywood, and Spiders to avoid making the band seem too monotonous. To recap what was said, with Scars on Broadway, Daron Malakian opening for them every show, allows for even more room to showcase their great discography. They have a rich catalogue of B-list songs like Darts, Psycho, This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm on This Song, and Innervision, which fans would love to hear if performed during a gig. Protect the Land and Genocidal Humanoidz are also undeniably worthy of the list of new singles.
Of course, having a career that spans more than a quarter century and their love for improvisation, serious fans that saw multiple shows could be in for quite different set lists each night. It would be unwise to exclude any possibility, especially when it comes to bands such as System of a Down that are known to really feed off the energy of the audience; thus, it is quite possible that some of the more old-school songs such as Suite Pee or War? might be performed. One thing that has remained consistent with System of a Down is that the fans do not know what to expect at the next concert of the tour.
Don't Miss The Tour
It has been quite some time that the fans of System of a Down have been able to enjoy a true none-stop concert show on an arena level. The band members have been quite vocal to explain that this is not a full-scale reunion tour but actually a number of performances to celebrate their return to record-making. Aggravate that with Scars on Broadway performing their first tours behind highly anticipated releases and Russian Circles venturing into arena show territory for the first time, the 2022 System of a Down tour is easily set to be a must-see metal tour. One can only wonder whether fans will be given such an opportunity again at all or when will this happen. Certainly, the European and UK audience can buy tickets at the moment, but will be North America pre-sales and fan club sales. Do not take a break on these dates because the passion they are going to display will definitely make many people buy tickets. Crank it up metalheads, a new chapter for the mighty System of a Down this Spring with a historic metal tour to remember.
