Did you know that System of a Down changed their name from Victims of a Down in order to be shelved closer to Slayer in record stores? (Wikipedia has spoken! It is fact.) Were you aware that Serj Tankian lands in my top 5 favorite male vocalists ever in the world? More alt metal bands could do with those rich melodic chops he's got. SoaD's penchant for melody can be heard especially on the title track off their 2001 record Toxicity. The video hasn't aged terribly well--the band members hop around like they're in some crappy nu-metal outfit--but the song sure holds up.
