Serj Tankian System Of A Down

Serj Tankian discusses his new memoir Down with the System. With nearly 40 million record sales, System Of A Down are one of the biggest metal bands on the planet.

With nearly 40 million record sales, System Of A Down are one of the biggest metal bands on the planet. At their core has always been Serj Tankian, whose journey from the streets of Beirut to rock superstardom is as remarkable and unlikely as you'll get. In his new memoir, Down With the System, he retraces this remarkable and unlikely journey and explores what it's taught him - about music, about art, about activism, and about himself. From teaming up with Tom Morello to push social justice causes on unsuspecting metalheads to travelling with Anthony Bourdain through Armenia one meal at a time.
