Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed with a rapid, spontaneous energy intended to mirror the frenetic pace of a shifting global environment, this third solo outing from the System of a Down frontman is heavily guitar-driven. The lyrical themes are urgently focused on environmental collapse, species extinction, and fierce socio-political critiques. It is widely regarded as the most direct and aggressive solo record in his catalog, closely echoing the frantic alt-metal dynamics of his primary band.
