At the beginning system of a down was two members: Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian. They really have fun to play in their garage so they have recruited the good bassman Shavo Odadjian. A little bit after they take John Dolmayan as a drummer.The name system of a down is taken from a poem Daron Malakian, Victims of a Down they changed victim by system because all victims are part of the system.
Now I'll gonna show you the order of the albums.The first album that appeared is toxicity in 2001 in the same year they sold steal this album. After a three years period they shelved Mezmerize and Hypnotize in pack of two. we can also find this to be consistent in the songs. For example, the first song is called Mezmerize Soldier Side - Intro. In a very short time, it leaves its meaning open to Soldier Side, the last song on Hypnotize.
