Scars on Broadway is the debut album by Scars on Broadway, a band consisting of System of a Down members Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan.
On what direction his album will take, Malakian states: "It will probably be something electronic mixed in with traditional Armenian and thrash, death, black, and doom metal influences. When, or even if, the music comes out, it will still be structured, just like System of a Down's music is". This electronic idea was demonstrated in all 2005 concerts in which Malakian, instead of merely singing the chorus to the song "Sugar" or "War?", as well as "Old School Hollywood" from Mezmerize, distorted his voice electronically with a Vocoder. Daron, in a recent interview, has said that the sound will be influenced by classic rock such as David Bowie, Brian Eno, Neil Young, and Roxy Music. Malakian has shifted his songwriting away from SOAD's frazzled metal to more song-based work. "I don't feel we're the mosh-pit band," says Malakian. "That's just where I'm comfortable as a writer right now." Despite the fact that Scars is intended to be different from SOAD, it is evident that Daron had given previews of future Scars material such as "Enemy" which Daron often played part of during System's live performances.[4]
Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan have been writing and rehearsing new material and plan to begin writing their debut album. According to a source on blabbermouth.net, Scars on Broadway began recording on September 27, 2007. The album is confirmed to be produced by Malakian and Rick Rubin. For the recording of their debut album, the two will be "accompanied by some great musicians"[5]. Daron has teamed up with Garrett Keetley in the studio to help him with the recording[citation needed]. According to the Scars on Broadway website, as of December 6th, 2007, the drum tracks for the album had been finished and the band is moving into the next stage of recording.
The album will be released on July 29th and contain 12 to 14 tracks[6].
The band has released a song called "They Say" on 15:00 PST of March 28, 2008. The song will be included on the album.
