Launch Radio Networks reports: System Of A Down is reportedly eyeing November 15 as the release date for "Hypnotize", the companion album to the band's first album of 2005, "Mezmerize".

Daron Malakian never expected commercial success as a musician. Born to immigrant parents and raised in a ramshackle area of Hollywood, System of a Down's guitarist and vocalist admits he's a little leery of mainstream adulation. "I always knew I would be an artist, but to be successful is crazy," Malakian says. "I have two parents who are artists, but they never made any money." Indeed, the Los Angeles quartet, all of Armenian descent, would seem an unlikely candidate for arena rock band status. They're definitely not pretty boys. Two of them sport creative facial hair. And their music is confrontational and unrelenting in a time of "American Idol" pop ballads and heartfelt emotion |
