System Of A Down’s Daron Malakian is back with his Scars On Broadway project, and their first new record since 2018…
Daron Malakian and Scars On Broadway have just announced their impending third album, Addicted To The Violence.
Following 2018’s Dictator, the band’s new full-length is due out on July 18, with Daron calling it “some of the best stuff I have to offer”. He adds that he’s “just as proud of Scars as I am of System Of A Down”, and that he’s “blessed that I can still do this and write songs every day”.
To mark the announcement, Scars… have unleashed lead single (and album opener) Killing Spree, which Daron explains is a “taboo topic people might be afraid to talk about. Kids have rebelled forever. Mental disorders have always been there too. In the last 15 years, we’ve seen a generation that will walk into school and kill other students.
“I’m not glamorising or advocating it. I’m just saying, ‘The kids are on a fucking killing spree.’ It’s what I see in front of me. I’m not just talking about killings either. You’ll see a lady who’s getting beaten up on the subway and people around her aren’t even helping; they’re fucking recording on their iPhones. We had automatic weapons 50 years ago, and nobody was doing this. I blame the mindset. We now have a generation that is so detached and desensitised. They’re totally unemotional and unempathetic. There’s no respect for life.”
