The incredible first memoir by System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian
With nearly 40 million record sales, three albums topping the Billboard charts, a Grammy win and a legion of fans, System Of A Down are one of the biggest metal bands on the planet. At their core has always been Serj Tankian, whose journey from the streets of Beirut to rock superstardom is as remarkable and unlikely as you'll get. By dint of luck, circumstance, struggle, and more than a little talent, Serj has had the chance to live an extraordinary life. In Down With the System, he retraces this remarkable and unlikely journey, and explores what it's taught him - about music, about art, about activism, and about himself."Down With the System" by Serj Tankian is ideal for fans of System of a Down and readers interested in rock memoirs that explore activism, music, and cultural heritage. The book will resonate with those passionate about social justice, art, and the intersection of personal and political identity. With its discussions on the Armenian genocide, U.S. foreign policy, and the complexities of fame, it is best suited for mature readers, particularly adults and older teens interested in activism or the music industry.
The memoir is written at a level appropriate for adult readers, blending engaging prose with reflective social and political commentary. It requires a moderate reading ability to grasp the historical context, activism, and deeper reflections on identity and music. Fans of memoirs that mix personal growth with broader societal issues will find it intellectually stimulating.
"Down With the System" by Serj Tankian is a memoir that blends autobiography, music history, and activism. It explores his journey as the lead singer of System of a Down, delving into political activism, his Armenian roots, and personal experiences, making it a compelling non-fiction work in the biography and music genres.
