With their band on a frustrating hiatus, most of the members of System Of A Down have remained busy with other projects: Serj Tankian’s solo material, Daron Malakian resurrected Scars on Broadway and John Dolmayan… well… let’s not get into that. What of bassist Shavo Odadjian, though?
A couple of quick projects here and there, a bit of DJing, but nothing that has really captured the imagination. That may well change now, as his latest band’s debut album is certainly a striking and immediate listen. Roping in former members of deathcore bands Winds Of Plague and Left To Suffer, Seven Hours After Violet is unquestionably the most extreme entity that Shavo has put his name to.
