“A surreal alien experience in full color and splendor where multiple worlds collide to create form without time and space.” – Serj Tankian on They’re Coming
There are only 250 copies in existence, all hand numbered and signed by Serj. This edition also features an exclusive picture section with images from Serj’s early life and career, alongside extracts from his private journals.
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. From teaming up with Tom Morello to push social justice causes on unsuspecting metalheads, arguing with LAPD officers over the best way to quell his rioting fans, and traveling with Anthony Bourdain through Armenia one meal at a time, Down With the System is an immigrant’s tale, an activist’s awakening, and rock memoir unlike any other.
