Hello. Listen to this song about the Armenian Genocide. It's very good, very intense, and very empowering. Anytime you are feeling hopeless about the current genocides, remember how often they aren't fully successful.

Un nouvel article a été publié sur https://www.rollingstone.fr/daron-malakian-scar-on-broadway-interview/

Daron Malakian : "Je suis probablement le plus grand fan de System of a Down"

Daron Malakian, le guitariste des System of a Down, revient avec son autre projet « Scars On Broadway », et présente ce nouveau disque « Dictator », qu’il a mis des années à sortir 

« Dictator » is out. Depuis six ans, le guitariste de System of a Down Daron Malakian a travaillé sur un album sans jamais pouvoir le terminer. C’est seul, qu’il l’a enregistré, avec dès le départ, la ferme intention de l’ajouter au répertoire de Scars On Broadway, son autre groupe, qu’il a lancé pendant la pause de System au milieu des années 2000.

Sachant que le groupe mené par Serj Tankian est bien loin de se remettre au studio, Malakian a pu finir « Dictator », serein. Un nouveau disque politiquement chargé, actuel et personnel. « Je dois être honnête, ça a été dur, » dit-il. « Ça a été dur d’être patient, » a t-il confié �� Rolling Stone US, dans cette interview fleuve, où le musicien parle de ses origines, de son héritage.

De quoi traite le morceau « Lives » ? 

Pour moi, il s’agissait de parler de comment les Arméniens ont survécu au génocide. J’ai toujours entendu dire que nous étions des victimes, et on a toujours vu des photos de nos ancêtres et de nos arrière-grands-parents, la tête coupée. Je voulais écrire une chanson qui remonterait le moral et qui rappèlerait aux gens que, certes beaucoup de gens sont morts, mais qu’ils y avaient aussi des survivants. C’est un hommage à tout ce chemin parcouru. Le clip complète très bien le morceau.

Comment la vidéo a-t-elle été réalisée ?

Dès le début j’ai voulu qu’on filme des danses folkloriques traditionnelles arméniennes, qui correspondaient totalement à la chanson. Mon père, en plus d’être un artiste – il a fait la pochette du premier album de Scars, ainsi que les albums de Mezmerize et Hypnotize de System – était un chorégraphe bien connu en Irak avant que sa famille ne déménage aux États-Unis. Ça a toujours fait partie de ma vie. Quand j’ai écrit la chanson, j’ai toujours imaginé le clip avec ce style de danse-là, ses costumes… C’est aussi une autre façon de montrer que je suis fier de notre culture. Je ne veux pas qu’on me considère comme une victime dès qu’on pense à mes origines.

Vous avez joué sur la place publique à Erevan, en Arménie, à l’occasion du 100e anniversaire du génocide avec System of a Down. Qu’est-ce que ça fait ?

C’était le point culminant de ma carrière de musicien. Je pense que tout les gars de System of a Down l’ont ressenti comme ça. Le spectacle était génial et très émouvant pour nous tous.

Passez-vous beaucoup de temps en Arménie ?

Non, je n’y suis allé qu’une seule fois. J’y suis resté quatre ou cinq jours. C’était vraiment émouvant pour moi, parce que j’avais des grands-parents qui étaient nés là-bas, mais qui ont dû, à l’époque, déménager en Irak pour survivre. Ils ne sont plus là, mais j’ai pu sentir leur présence, avec moi, notamment quand j’ai joué sur scène.

« J’ai déjà un projet de sortir un troisième album de Scars on Broadway » 

Parlons de cet album, « Dictator ». Que tu tergiverses depuis 2012…

Quand j’ai commencé à enregistrer l’album, c’est à cette époque que System a recommencé à partir en tournée. Et à chaque fois qu’on jouait sur scène, on se retrouvait dans les loges et on se disait qu’il était peut-être temps de refaire un nouveau disque. Je me suis laissé porter par cette idée, on en a parlé et on est arrivé à la conclusion qu’on était pas sur la même longueur d’onde. L’idée ne plaisait pas à tout le monde. Mais à chaque fois qu’on jouait en concert, ça revenait. C’était un cercle vicieux.

J’en suis arrivé au point où beaucoup de gens me posaient beaucoup trop de questions sur le nouvel album de Scars. Sauf que le fait de ne pas savoir ce qui se passe avec System m’a empêché de m’y concentrer un peu plus. Trop de temps s’est écoulé… mais je suis vraiment excité de pouvoir enfin sortir cet album.

Pourquoi vouliez-vous tout enregistrer vous-même ? Le batteur de System, John Dolmayan, était sur votre premier album.

J’ai réalisé qu’il valait mieux commencer par moi-même. John n’était plus impliqué quand j’ai enregistré l’album. Ça m’a semblé plus facile que de former un groupe de musiciens et de leur enseigner les parties.

Vous imaginiez ces morceaux comme du pur Scars on Broadway ? 

Oui, même si finalement, cet album a plus une saveur System que des premiers disques de Scars On Broadway. Il y avait des chansons sur le premier album de Scars, comme « Stoner Hate » et « Babylon » qui auraient pu facilement être des chansons de System of a Down, mais on était moins liés au metal. « Dictator » a aussi cette saveur rock, qui le différencie.

N’est-ce pas un peu bizarre de sortir un disque six ans après l’avoir commencé ? Tu as dû mûrir en tant qu’artiste depuis.

J’aurais aimé que ça ne dure pas six ans. Même si j’y ai mis du temps, le style y est toujours présent. Ça fait toujours partie de ma signature, même avec ce que j’écris aujourd’hui. J’ai déjà un projet de sortir un troisième album de Scars On Broadway. J’ai écrit beaucoup de chansons et je répète pas mal avec le groupe. Dans les quatre prochains mois, j’espère qu’on ira en studio.

System of a Down a-t-il vraiment abandonné l’idée de faire un nouvel album ?

Non, ce n’est pas abandonné. Mais à l’heure actuelle, tout le monde n’est pas sur la même longueur d’onde. Crois-moi, je suis probablement le plus grand fan de System of a Down au monde. Je veux dire, j’ai donné son nom au groupe ! *rires*

Mais nous sommes tous de bons amis. On aime toujours le live. Mais faire un album, c’est tellement différent… Il faut un peu plus de solidarité, un peu plus d’engagement, et je ne suis pas sûr que tout le monde soit prêt à s’engager dans cette voie aussi hâtivement. Et c’est ainsi. Je ne peux pas les forcer ! Quoi qu’il en soit, on continue à se soutenir en tant que potes, dans tout ce que chacun entreprend.

S’agit-il du temps consacré à la réalisation d’un album ou d’un désaccord créatif ?

C’est à la fois créatif et une question de timing. Déjà, ils ont tous des enfants. Ils sont dispatchés un peu près partout. Aujourd’hui, ce n’est pas le moment.

Et vous, à part Scars, sur quoi vous concentrez-vous ?

J’écris beaucoup. J’ai beaucoup de projets parallèles, même si c’est vrai que je me suis concentré sur la musique pendant ces deux dernières années. J’ai collaboré sur un album de Linkin Park, il y a quelques années (« The Hunting Part », sorti en 2014, ndlr). Quand les choses arrivent, j’en suis content, mais je me concentre toujours sur l’écriture. Je n’ai rien sorti parce qu’on n’était pas sûr de ce qui se passait avec System. C’était une période hésitante. Je suis le genre de gars qui prend du plaisir à écrire, même si personne n’écoute ce que je fais.

En parlant de Linkin Park, vous aviez rejoint le groupe sur scène l’an dernier pour l’hommage à Chester Bennington. C’était difficile pour vous ?

C’était un peu étrange de jouer par-dessus le backing-vocal de Chester… mais aussi particulièrement émouvant.

J’ai vraiment aimé travailler avec ces gars sur « Rebellion ». Ce qui s’est passé avec Chester a été un tel choc, quelque chose que je n’aurais jamais anticipé. C’était le genre de gars qui vous remontait le moral, si vous étiez de mauvaise humeur. Mais ce morceau a été amusant à produire, et je pense qu’il y a un peu de System là-dedans. Que je bosse avec Linkin Park ou avec Scars, ce style de signature perdure.

Comment ce style a-t-il évolué ?

Il y a longtemps, au tout début de System, Serj et moi étions dans un groupe appelé Soil. C’est à ce moment-là que ce son s’est développé. Avec Soil, on composait des morceaux de six, sept minutes, avec pas mal de riffs. Quand j’avais 18 ou 19 ans, j’ai commencé à écouter des musiciens de légende comme Bowie et les Beatles, et je me suis dit que c’était ça, la structure de morceau qui me correspondait le plus. C’est ainsi que le style de System s’est développé. À l’époque, je voulais écrire de la musique que je ne pouvais pas acheter chez le disquaire. Je voulais un groupe qui avait tout. Vous pouvez voir System comme un groupe heavy, mais pourtant il s’y passe des choses, stylistiquement parlant, qui ne sont pas du tout du heavy metal.  Je n’ai pas peur de mélanger d’autres genres avec le metal. J’ai toujours fonctionné comme ça, et je m’en porte bien.

do you have any favorite music to listen to while you're writing? and would you be willing to share a song or two? :)

i feel like my best writing is done with my favorite bands/artists honestly, so rush, system of a down, tool, metallica, megadeth, type o negative, the dear hunter, etc. sometimes i’ll play specific albums or songs if i want a specific mood or something reminds me of a character and/or ship. it also helps that a lot of my fave bands have long songs so if i sit and go “i am going to listen to like three rush or tool songs and write while i do” that’s what, half an hour of writing almost? :p

and well, i’m always willing to share music! i do have a very specific kind of preklok song which is 8 years by colour revolt. and songs that have been in heavy rotation for me recently have been gloria by the dear hunter and babylon by daron malakian and scars on broadway (i am begging my fellow soad fans to listen to scars it is so good...please...please listen).

and special for you: lent by autoheart, which is a magnus/charles song for me personally

“Dictator” by Daron Malakian & Scars on Broadway “not knowing what's happening with System has kept me from putting my own stuff out. Too much time has passed, and I'm really excited to finally get some music out finally." - Daron Malakian System of a Down will always be one of my favorite bands, it’s a huge bummer there hasn’t been another album since “Mezmerize” and “Hypnotize”. Yet, I pretty much gobble up what every Daron is throwing down. He’s a huge creative influence on me and every time he releases something it gets all my artistic energy turned up a notch or two. He always makes me want to pick up my bass and write and sing songs. He might not be everyone’s cup of tea but that’s fine. I’m not either. I also love how he has his father do the artwork for his albums. It’s a nice touch. #Scarsonbroadway #DaronMalakian #albumofthemonth #music #artJWB (at Fort Collins, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0nFVEFhC40/?igshid=q63pvym8fj1b

System of a Down:  The Twelve Year Hypnotize Album Anniversary

The debate of “Who has a longer and more anticipated wait on a new album, System of a Down or Tool?” is always a topic me and fellow journalism friends, toss around every week. However, in terms of wait, the last Tool album 10,000 Days was on April 28th, 2006, while System of a Down released Hypnotize November 22nd, 2005, an almost 5 month difference. Not much in time, but it sure feels like it. Wednesday marks the 12th year of the silence of the Armenian-American rock band, and collectively have sold over 40 million records worldwide, and earned many awards and nominations, including a Grammy for the single “B.Y.O.B,” and have topped the Billboard 200 three times. The style of bombastic riffs, melodic vocals, and cryptic lyrics is still debated on what genre exactly they possess. Most choose “Art Rock” or “Avant-Garde Rock,” but some think this is a new genre entirely, with the buzzword “Soad (Short for the band name) Core.” For us SOAD fans, we miss the band, and they have been claiming a new album for years now, in fashion of Tool, besides the fact Tool is now making progress. The Armenian rockers are touring Europe, while the American crowds pile up waiting for their return.

System of a Down was originally formed in Los Angeles, California, after members Daron Malakian and Serj Tankian dissolved their previous project Soil. The returned to the studio, where the previous recruit from Soil Shavo Odadjian as manager, but was later moved to the bassist position. From there, they recorded demos with drummer Andy Khachaturian, but before they performed, he injured his hand and could not play. This led to the introduction of John Dolmayan, and the full lineup was complete, and the band began touring locally. Ironically, all members went to the same predominantly Armenian school, but the age difference led them to not meet for a long while. After the first show, they recorded the official demo, while not publically release, made its way onto file sharing sites. Finally, in 1997, famed rock producer Rick Rubin caught the band, and signed them to American/Columbian Records.

Through 1998 until 2005, the band released 5 albums, two being a dual record, and one being leaked unfinished songs that the band humorously named Steal This Album!. Numerous chart-topping hits were written, with many coming from their most successful album Toxicity, and the 6th track being “Chop Suey!” hitting 640 million view on Youtube. Although, this song was apart of the tracklist of forbidden songs to be played on the radio after the events of September 11th, 2001, along with Aerials, and was even renamed to “Chop Suey!” due to the previous song title being “Suicide.” Over 40 songs were written for Toxicity alone, and many being inspired by Daron Malakian and his fascination with Charles Manson’s mind and philosophies. After the death of Manson earlier this week, Malakian felt sorrowful for his death and expressed this on his social media, leading to him being labeled as a sympathizer. He retaliated by stating in a lengthy post,

"Let me try to explain...I don't back the murderer Charles Manson, I back his art and his views on social and environmental issues. Sometimes talented people do bad things...OJ Simpson killed his wife, which is horrible. But you can't deny the fact that he was one of the best football players in history. So there is the murderer OJ and the football OJ... My family was in the Armenian Genocide where millions of Armenians were slaughtered by the Turkish government and Turkish soldiers. But I still enjoy Turkish music, Turkish art, and I have Turkish friends who probably had grandparents who were Turkish soldiers during the genocide." You can read more on his controversial outlook on Blabbermouth.com.

Since the release of Hypnotize, the members have other endeavors they have taken part in, frontman Serj Tankian released a film score for the films ”Intent to Destroy” and “Furious,” and has his own solo projects, releasing the critically acclaimed Elect the Dead, and even adapting the tracks into an orchestral performance. John Dolmayan has worked with music less but founded a high end comic book store in Las Vegas under the name Torpedo Comics. Shavo Odadjian has been working with other artists and continues to DJ and record. Daron Malakian formed Scars on Broadway, which is now inactive, and is currently working on new material, but remains the most silent.

Since the final record of the dual release, many question the dedication of the band members, who all but Tankian has commented on. Odadjian, in a facebook post, blamed Tankian holding them back, and even asked fans how they would feel about a new vocalist. Due to this, the band Facebook page claimed this was not so, creating a split in fans, and continues to tour, but not produce any new material. The eager fans await any news on the topic, or at least a tour of the USA, but these are on hold as of now, and fans are starting to become less and less excited on news about the album, and some have even give up hope on the release even coming to fruition. However, many fans still believe in this to this day, and now that 2017 is almost over, the rumored year, some speculate the new album will be in 2018. Overall, fans just want something new, interesting, and intriguing to listen to once again, and hope one day that some new tracks with topics ranging from politics to pornography can come from the band and sell millions once again.
