System Of A Down guitarist/vocalist Daron Malakian‘s Scars On Broadway have released both its new album “Addicted To The Violence” and a music video co-directed by Malakian and Lorenzo Diego Carrera for their latest single “Destroy The Power” together today, July 18th. Malakian said alongside the record’s release:
“I’m always writing songs, because it’s the only way I know how to live. It’s my purpose. When I write, I stay honest. I don’t put myself in a box, which is why you have both heavy and mid-tempo material. It takes you through different feelings, and that’s what I’ve always done. If I was a painter, I wouldn’t tell myself, ‘I can’t use these colors.’ So, all the colors are available to me. All the emotions are also available, because we go through each one of them as people. I’m expressing everything I can.”
I’m just as proud of Scars as I am of System Of A Down. This is another musical outlet for me. I think it’s some of the best stuff I have to offer. I’m blessed that I can still do this and write songs every day.” ‘Addicted To The Violence‘ is a rollercoaster of aggression, vulnerability, satire, and soul.”
