Five years off the road had done nothing to dull System Of A Down’s edge, and their 2011 headlining set at Rock am Ring in Nürburg, Germany proved it immediately. Captured in a high-quality professional recording now streaming at OnlyLiveConcert.com, the performance documents the Armenian-American metal icons at a pivotal moment, their first major return to the stage after a lengthy hiatus, delivering a career-spanning setlist to a massive Nürburgring crowd that had been waiting years for exactly this. From the politically charged fury of “B.Y.O.B.” to the soaring melodic weight of “Aerials,” Serj Tankian’s operatic vocals, Daron Malakian’s electrifying guitar work, and the locked-in rhythm section of Shavo Odadjian and John Dolmayan remind you why no band in heavy music has ever sounded quite like this one.
