6 Sep
Summary
- System of a Down's 'Toxicity' album turns 25 years old.
- The previously unreleased track "Johnny" is now available.
- The album combines heavy riffs with Armenian folk influences.
System of a Down is marking the 25th anniversary of their seminal 2001 album, Toxicity. This milestone includes the first-time release of the track "Johnny" on streaming platforms. The song was previously exclusive to international editions of the album and a U.K. 7-inch single.
Toxicity, released on September 4, 2001, became a defining metal album of its era. It is lauded for its fusion of heavy guitar riffs with traditional Armenian musical elements, paired with incisive lyrics on environmentalism and U.S. foreign policy. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
This anniversary reissue features a new vinyl pressing and corrects the official credit for the hidden closing track to "Der Voghormia." "Johnny" is included on a bonus 7-inch with the reissue, adding to the album's legacy, which has seen over 15 million units sold worldwide.
