Follow us:

[Lars]

Boy: I want to play in a metal band when I grow up
Parents: Nah, we want you to do classical music
Boy: Ok

Stringing strings as a past time activity

It’s incredible how every kind of musician seems to agree on System of a Down, so many covers coming in all kind of tones and arrangements! truly great tracks, long live these records

[cherifmajdoub]

4:05 i can't believe i fell for that...

[andrewaniban]

I love when orchestras perform heavy metal

Edit: to all the people who are saying that it's not heavy metal, it's my mistake. I was still a noobie who didn't know the different genres of metal.

[anabekbond]

Somehow this version sounds so menacing even without the vocals and the intense drums of the original, simply due to the epic layers of sound produced by the entire orchestra and band! Well done!

I like to think Serj himself left a comment in disguise as a random user

[cybilfiammette]

Everytime, 3:20 gives me chills and I love it.

[brook]

When your song get turned into a symphony arrangement, thats how you know you are a badass

[SirSandvich]

I had no idea that there was going to be a SOAD boss battle in Kingdom Hearts 3.

[thieubobo]

This can be an awesome soundtrack for some epic movie ! Very very nice :D

[idkwefr]

I still maintain that toxicity is one of the few songs in modern history that can be an orchestral masterpiece.

[isetta]

This orchestra is like 90% violins, but I'm glad the Contrabassoon got some spotlight

[lundmw]

i guess this is called "classic" rock??

[darkside]

Perfect music for an R.P.G boss battle.

[C_M..]

This is so much better than I was expecting

[triton]

Hearing music genres in different forms is great. Just shows you that rock and metal music can sound great with classical instruments. Same goes when you hear classical arrangements done in rock or metal. One word, VERSATILE!

[Verse 1]
Conversion
Software version 7.0
Looking at life
Through the eyes of a tire hub

[Pre-Chorus]
Eating seeds as a pastime activity
The toxicity of our city, of our city

[Chorus]
You!
What do you own the world
How do you own disorder, disorder
Now!
Somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
Somewhere...
Between the sacred silence and sleep
Disorder, disorder, disorder

[Verse 2]
More wood for their fires
Loud neighbors
Flashlight reveries
Caught in the headlights of a truck

[Pre-Chorus]
Eating seeds as a pastime activity
The toxicity of our city, of our city

[Chorus]
You!
What do you own the world
How do you own disorder, disorder
Now!
Somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
Somewhere...
Between the sacred silence and sleep
Disorder, disorder, disorder

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
You!
What do you own the world
How do you own disorder
Now!
Somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
Somewhere...
Between the sacred silence and sleep
Disorder, disorder, disorder

[Outro]
When I became the sun
I shone life into the man's hearts
When I became the sun
I shone life into the man's hearts

[alnegmalaryq]

This is more than amazing. It's sort of a mix between Beethoven style and a Military parade. I love it.
