The First And Only Book On One Of The World’s Biggest Selling Bands

(New York, NY)–System of a Down has evolved from a cult band whose demo tapes swapped hands voraciously on the metal underground to one of the world’s biggest bands, having sold in excess of forty million albums. Show-stealing support slots with Ozzy Osbourne and Slayer propelled the band to new heights and their second album, Toxicity, is what turned the band from an underground phenomenon into a mainstream smash, who have also garnered attention from the CIA, who trail them closely.

SYSTEM OF A DOWN: RIGHT HERE IN HOLLYWOOD (ISBN: 978-1932857-88-7, $19.95) is the first and only book on one of the world’s biggest selling bands, featuring exclusive new interviews with the band and the major players involved in their story. Unofficial and unauthorized, this new book from author Ben Myers–an authority on punk and hardcore–is the first definitive account of this remarkable band. The book is in stores now–timed perfectly with the first solo record release from lead singer Serj Tankian.
