SCARS ON BROADWAY Announce New Album

Fresh off the heels of SYSTEM OF A DOWN's triumphant sold-out South American stadium tour, DARON MALAKIAN AND SCARS ON BROADWAY returns today with "Killing Spree", a new song and music video. "Killing Spree" heralds the arrival of the Grammy Award-winning vocalist, songwriter and producer's anxiously awaited third full-length SCARS ON BROADWAY album, "Addicted To The Violence", due out on July 18.

"It's a taboo topic people might be afraid to talk about," Malakian says of "Killing Spree". "Kids have rebelled forever. Mental disorders have always been there too. In the last 15 years, we've seen a generation that will walk into school and kill other students. I'm not glamorizing or advocating it. I'm just saying, 'The kids are on a fucking killing spree.' It's what I see in front of me. I'm not just talking about killings either. You'll see a lady who's getting beaten up on the subway and people around her aren't even helping; they're fucking recording on their iPhones. We had automatic weapons fifty years ago, and nobody was doing this. I blame the mindset. We now have a generation that is so detached and desensitized. They're totally unemotional and unempathetic. There's no respect for life."
