Revenga system of a down lyrics8/13/2023 ![]() System has a few shows that are going to happen in October, Scars has a show, and once those are done with, I’d like to start focusing on some of the new material and putting out some of that, which I’m really excited about. ![]() Malakian: No, I’d like to get started working on those. Now I have a lot of newer songs I’ve written in recent years that I give a bit more attention to than these songs.ĪllMusic: Are you going to take some time before those, or dive right in? They were pretty complete, they were done, I was just waiting around to see what was going to happen with System, and then just decided that it’s time for me to release these songs. Malakian: No, I’ve listened to them through the years, like if somebody came over and I’d be like, “Hey, you want to hear the Scars album I never put out?” Through the years people would come over or I’d give them a listen on my own here and there. ![]() This has been a different experience for me just because I waited so long to put it out there.ĪllMusic: Have you had to go back and listen to them to remind yourself what they are? I let it go once the album is sequenced: it’s done. When you pick up a guitar here and there you might play a riff or a part from one of the songs, but apart from that, I don’t put too much thought into them. Malakian spoke with AllMusic about returning to the songs he'd recorded six years ago, his trajectories as both a lyricist and a singer, and why professional wrestling is "the greatest sport of all."ĪllMusic: You've had these songs basically complete since 2012, what's your relationship to them now as you're finally putting them out?ĭaron Malakian: They join the rest of the songs that I’ve written in my life, and you enjoy playing them live. He's also happy to let the bands coexist, evidenced by System of a Down and Scars on Broadway performing on back-to-back nights at Mexico's Force Fest in October. While System of a Down might make another album one day, Malakian is ready to move ahead with more Scars on Broadway music beyond The Dictator, which was released in July. Playing all the instruments himself, Malakian hammered out a dozen tracks in 2012, and once it became clear that there was no current path forward for a new System of a Down album, Malakian tweaked the name of his side band to Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, and delivered The Dictator: 44 minutes of bouncy, tuneful hard rock more overtly reminiscent of System than the first Scars album was. ![]() With System of a Down having seemingly settled into its current role as a live-only enterprise, guitarist and songwriter Daron Malakian needed to do something with the songs he'd been banking for a potential new System album. ![]()
