After 10 years together, they each wanted to do different things for a while. They said they were going to come back together in a few years. In 2006, the band decided that they were going to have a break for a little while. This was the same sort of style because they were recorded at the same time. Months later, the second part of the double album, Hypnotize, was released. It was more melodic than before, and included "B.Y.O.B" (Bring Your Own Bombs), and "Lost in Hollywood" - a song based on Daron's childhood about growing up in Hollywood, which he did not think was very glamorous.

In May 2005, the band released part one of a double album, Mezmerize. It is also political for example the opening track: "Prison Song" which has Serj speaking the lines. This album explores a more melodic side of metal music. Their next album, Toxicity, made in 2001, had their first UK top 20 single "Chop Suey". This album was not as popular as the next album, but it made people aware of who and what System of a Down stood for. In 1997, SOAD teamed up with Rubin and produced their first studio album. The producer, Rick Rubin, had tried to sign up the band several times before they agreed. They made another demo tape, and this was the one that got them put on the record label. In 1996, another demo tape was released with the songs: Soil, and two songs that were not on the first album, "Honey" and "Temper". In 1995, they made their first demo tape, and had the songs: "Suite-Pee", "Sugar", "Dam", and "P.L.U.C.K.(Politically Lying Unholy Cowardly Killers)". Serj, Daron, and Shavo, went to the same school, Alex Pilibos School for Armenian Americans in Los Angeles, when they were young. He left the band and the drummer from the band, "Friik", John Dolmayan, joined the band. Often described as very angry, Khachaturian was unhappy about his place as drummer, and wanted to lead the band. The band became successful with popular songs like "Sugar", "Spiders", "Chop Suey!", "Toxicity", "Aerials", "B.Y.O.B.", "Question!", "Hypnotize", and "Lonely Day".Īfter the release of MEZMERIZE/ Hypnotize, System of a Down went on a break, but they say they have not broken up.
