SYSTEM OF A DOWN: 'Hypnotize' Track Listing Revealed

September 21, 2005

Six months after SYSTEM OF A DOWN's "Mezmerize" debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart, the uncompromising and outspoken quartet returns with "Hypnotize", part two of a promised two-album set. American Recordings/Columbia will release two versions of "Hypnotize", the band's fifth studio album, on November 22.

Both the CD and DualDisc versions feature 12 new songs as well as artwork by Vartan Malakian, father of SYSTEM OF A DOWN's guitarist/singer Daron. The packaging for "Hypnotize" is specially designed to physically join "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" together, forming one unified product with continuous artwork. Additionally, the DualDisc edition will contain exclusive behind-the-scenes footage showing the making of both records.

More importantly, the albums interlock musically. The final track on "Hypnotize", "Soldier Side", completes "Soldier Side Intro", which appears as the opening track on "Mezmerize".

"Hypnotize" track listing:

01. Attack
02. Dreaming
03. Kill Rock 'n Roll
04. Hypnotize
05. Stealing Society
06. Tentative
07. U-Fig
08. Holy Mountains
09. Vicinity of Obscenity
10. She's Like Heroin
11. Lonely Day
12. Soldier Side

SYSTEM OF A DOWN will be filming performance footage for their video for "Hypnotize"'s title track on September 28 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI.
