An LA based band whose music once possessed a unique and original blend of armenian and metal influences with deep political subject matter.
But now (November 2005) has abandonned their raw sounding roots towards more melodic/pop vocal directions due to the lead guitarists (Daron Malakian) change in musical taste, although still holding true to their original political lyrical content.
