System Of A Down Reunite For 2020 Christmas Album ‘Jingle Bombs’
System of a Down will finally reunite. The band thought now was the perfect time, as they can band together to raise awareness for a special cause very close to their hearts. This cause of course, involves Santa Clause. The band is reuniting to create a Christmas album. Not a lot of people are aware of Christmas or the importance of the holiday, and System of a Down are sure to change that. The new album “Jingle Bombs” is coming in 2020.
What Can We Expect From “Jingle Bombs”?
The album will feature 12 riff-heavy tracks. This Christmas album will have metal fans and casual Christmas audiences rejoicing as once. The album is expected to be full of classics that the world will head bang to for years to come. The tracklist is as follows:
- Clause-trophobic
- Santa’s Slay
- Jingle Bombs
- B.Y.O.B (Bring Your Own Bells)
- All I Want For Christmas Is For You To Notice The Conflict Between Armenia and Azerbaijan
- It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year (If You Are American)
- They Want To Build A Christmas
- Sugar! Cookies!
- Manufactured Holiday (Capitalism Has You Hooked)
- What Did You Get For Jesus’ Birthday?
- The Nightmare Before Christmas
- Chop Suey That Christmas Tree Down
A Lot Of The Songs Sound Political, How Come?
System of a Down is not here to get political. The band just wants to play music about Christmas. While the song titles do sound satirical or sarcastic, it is likely that the band simply just love Christmas. I wouldn’t look too deeply into this. Some critics believe that the band is just using Christmas to get their message out. This is unfounded, as the band would never use something as important as Christmas to get out another hidden message.
Why Would System Of A Down Reunite For This?
The world has waited 15 years for System of a Down to return, and there is no better time than Christmas. It will be a Christmas wish come true to many metal heads. System of a Down hope to make 2020 the year Christmas gets heavy. Christmas music has become stall and repetitive, and the band aims to finally make Christmas a holiday everyone can get behind.
Doesn’t The Band Have More Important Things To Write About?
The band surely has more important things to write about. The band previous returned to release two new songs raising awareness and funding for the the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
American holidays and international affairs are both incredibly important, but it looks like Christmas still gets some attention this year.
For fans who don’t need a Christmas album to tell you to support a good cause, here is the link to System of a Down’s bandcamp. Proceeds for their latest two tracks will be used “to provide crucial and desperately needed aid and basic supplies for those affected by these hideous acts”.
