  • The only way to truly appreciate an artist is to listen to all their music, not just one song, so we came up with our "5 By" series where David checks out 5 songs by an artist.
    The next artist of our "5 By" series is System Of A Down. On this episode of Cleaning Out The Shed, we go back to 1998. Check out David’s reaction to System Of A Down's "Spiders".

    I love the piano thrown in. A lot of us SOAD fans have been listening to these songs for potentially decades now, so it's not like we're missing anything from a song we've heard a thousand times.

    The sound of his improvisations on the piano gave me heavy Silent Hill vibes. The scales and keys that he worked with inside the song built an eerie, tense, and almost melancholy atmosphere that was cool to hear. I think the addition of David's melody would elevate it live if he got the chance!
