Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway

Daron Malakian, an influential figure in the alternative metal scene, is best known as the driving force behind the band Scars on Broadway. This project, which serves as both a band and a solo endeavor for Malakian, released its self-titled debut album in July two thousand eight, marking a significant milestone in his musical career.

Following the initial success, Scars on Broadway entered a hiatus in late two thousand eight. Malakian cited a lack of enthusiasm and a disinterest in touring as the primary reasons for this pause. Despite attempts to reform the band with various line-up changes in two thousand ten and two thousand twelve, the group ceased further announcements by two thousand thirteen.

After a lengthy break, Scars on Broadway returned to the music scene with the release of their second album, titled Dictator, in July two thousand eighteen. This resurgence was followed by the announcement of a third album, Addicted to the Violence, which is set to be released on July eighteenth, two thousand twenty-five.

In addition to his work with Scars on Broadway, Daron Malakian is widely recognized for his role as the guitarist, composer, and second vocalist for the iconic band System of a Down, further solidifying his status as a prominent figure in the world of rock music.
