Seven Hours After Violet<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the new project from System Of A Down<\/a><\/strong> bassist Shavo Odadjian<\/strong> featuring Taylor Barber<\/strong> (Left To Suffer<\/a><\/strong>), Morgoth<\/strong> (Winds of Plague<\/a><\/strong>), Alejandro Aranda<\/strong> (Scarypoolparty<\/strong>) and Josh Johnson<\/strong> (Winds of Plague<\/a><\/strong>) \u2013 is now streaming the latest single “Alive” from their upcoming self-titled debut album, due out October 11.<\/p>\n “Alive” dives deep into the duality of pain and vitality, where suffering becomes a twisted reminder of existence,” said Odadjian<\/strong> of the new song. “It’s about the dark thrill of feeling alive through intense emotions, even when they blur the line between ecstasy and despair. A haunting space where agony and empowerment collide.”<\/p>\n Seven Hours After Violet<\/a><\/strong> originally came about when Odadjian<\/strong> and Morgoth<\/strong> started talking at a party on February 22, 2022. Their initial sessions were a spontaneous combustion of creativity, transforming from a potential solo venture into a full-fledged band.<\/p>\n “We wrote a song right away. It wasn’t like any writing session I had been part of before, riffs were just flowing out of me without me even having to try. Every time I felt like I couldn’t write anything. Morgoth<\/strong> would hand me a guitar and say, ‘go, go, go.’ I needed that, you know? I needed someone to push me when I wasn’t pushing myself,” said Shavo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Pre-orders for Seven Hours After Violet<\/em> are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
