Legendary rock band System of a Down has officially confirmed their long-awaited new album, but there’s a twist: 5 out of 12 tracks are purely the sound of Daron Malakian’s mustache growing.
System of a Down Announces New Album – And Half of It is Just Mustache Sounds!
«We’ve always pushed boundaries, but this time we went further,» Malakian explained. The band used nano-microphones to capture the delicate symphony of hair follicles in action. Drummer John Dolmayan claims that trained ears can even distinguish individual hairs sprouting.

The rest of the album? Equally bizarre – featuring a punk ballad about dumplings, a metal anthem for exhausted office workers, and a song made entirely of Serj’s dog barking.
The album, titled «Moustache Symphony : Vol. 1», will include the following tracks:
- Follicle Overture
- The Sound of Growing (Interlude)
- Bark ! Bark ! Bark ! (feat. Serj’s Dog)
- Mustache Nation
- Office Despair Anthem
- Five More Hairs (Interlude)
- Panic at the Bakery
- A Song About Nothing But It’s Very Loud
- Twelve Minutes of Existential Screaming
- Symphony of Stubble (Interlude)
- Pelmeni Revolution
- The Final Hair (Outro)
Fans are already hyped, while critics predict this will either be a masterpiece or total madness. The release date remains unknown, but the band promises it will happen «sometime in this millennium.»
