System of a Down (commonly referred to as System or abbreviated as SOAD) is an American rock band, formed in 1995 in Glendale, California. They have released five albums and have become a staple on mainstream rock radio. Their works have earned them three Grammy Award nominations, of which they won one.

System of a Down is very politically active and are noted for the liberal political views expressed in their songs, tackling several subjects including the War on Drugs, religion, and especially censorship. They have actively campaigned to get Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide and the subject is often tackled in their songs. System of a Down is a part of the Axis of Justice, a non-profit organization co-founded by band member Serj Tankian (along with Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave), dedicated to bringing together musicians, fans, and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice.
