When System Of A Down announced their hiatus in 2006, it didn't take long for its members to leap headfirst into other projects. For guitarist Daron Malakian, one of the band's chief songwriters, that took the form of Scars On Broadway, a group that continued the anthemic metal stylings Malakian had ridden to massive success with SOAD in the decade prior.
Although Scars On Broadway's activity has been sporadic - their self-titled debut came out in 2008, while a second record didn't materialise until 2018 - Daron's group recently burst back into life playing alongside Korn as part of that band's 30th anniversary celebrations. Ahead of their appearance at this weekend's Aftershock Festival, Hammer caught up with Daron to find out what's happening with the band.
