By the end of 1997, System of a Down (SOAD) had signed to American, then distributed by Columbia Records. American/Columbia released the group’s eponymous debut album in the summer of 1998, securing the band opening spots on the Slayer and Ozzfest tours. SOAD eventually went gold, and set up the September 2001 release of the even more ambitious Toxicity. SOAD’s second effort was another heavy music triumph, shaming the majority of their nu-metal competition and running away with multi-platinum honors. The quartet didn’t slow down. Malakian started the eatURmusic imprint and Tankian a label called Serjical Strike; Tankian also collaborated with Armenian avant-garde folk musician Arto Tuncboyaciyan in a project called Serart. In November 2002 SOAD issued the bare-bones but no less powerful odds ‘n’ ends set Steal This Album!; they also remained politically active.
