  • Edmonton: System of a Down here Sept. 20

    Edmonton Sun (Alberta)
    July 5, 2005 Tuesday
    FINAL EDITION

    SYSTEM OF A DOWN HERE SEPT. 20

    System of a Down will play Rexall Place on Sept. 20 - and we are SO
    there.

    By "we," we mean those area metalheads who've hailed this zany
    Armenian-American rock band as the next big thing, handily filling
    the hobnail boots of the now-defunct Rage Against the Machine and
    frankly, something of an improvement.

    Incorporating European folk music into a hard-hitting melange of
    political heavy metal featuring a vocalist who sounds like Frank
    Zappa on steroids, System of a Down recently released what is
    considered to be its finest work yet, Mezmerize.

    The band is touring North America to support its third album,
    thankfully deciding to include our "heavy metal town" on the
    itinerary.

    Tickets to the show, with opening act the Mars Volta and a band
    called Bad Acid Trip, are $39.50, $47.50 or $55.50 (general admission
    floor, reserved seating in the stands) and will go on sale Friday at
    10 a.m. at all Ticketmaster outlets (451-8000).
