|

| Posted by ZAk on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 08:17 PM |
"It is now time
to take back
what is
rightfully
yours… your
thoughts and
creativity."
this is what
urSESSION all
about.
What
urSESSION is
doing is what
the corporate
Goliaths do not
want you to do,
have a choice.
You are no
longer just
receiving the
music, you’re
discovering and
judging it. What
they don’t
realize is that
the revolution
has already
begun and you
are now all a
part of it.
And since its
about
'creativity', we
had to look
after that guy
who's
responsible of
all the design
and development
in the website.
His name is Dero
and he's the
Creative
Directors &
Chief Graphics
Designer for
urSESSION.com,
we were honored
to have this
very interesting
interview with
him. |

Shavo Odadjian: You Always Have To Top Yourself
|
 |

There’s
been plenty of talk about whether or not System Of A Down is on a
permanent hiatus, but bassist Shavo Odadjian made it quite clear in a
recent interview with Ultimate-Guitar that he doesn’t intend on ever tossing his
platinum-selling group to the wayside. The time off has been all about exploring
new creative outlets, and since the break was announced, Odadjian could easily
be described as the most prolific member.
It’s true that Odadjian has been recording an album with his hip-hop project
Achozen, but it’s his work away from the traditional band format that should
likely draw the most attention. His grandest endeavor has been launching UrSession.com, a new website that was created in response to the rapidly dying
major label system. The site gives musicians the opportunity to essentially
audition for a record contract via uploaded videos or audio. And who exactly is
the judge of all the video submissions? We are. |

Scars On Broadway: In The Studio
|

 SOAD side project trades metal for melodic rock.
John Dolmayan thought he'd
have a few relaxing years when System Of A Down went on hiatus in 2006. It
didn't work out that way: He appeared on bandmate Serj Tankian's solo debut, and
now he's behind the drums again in sessions for Scars on Broadway, his new band
with SOAD singer-guitarist Daron Malakian.
Surrounded by flickering candles at
Sunset Sound in Hollywood, Dolmayan is pounding a forceful, brooding beat that's
heavy on the cymbals. Watching nearby, Malakian calls it "the Dolmayan shuffle."

Theatre Of Pain

 With
its drab architecture and dim exterior lighting, Steakhouse Studio sits in the
center of a nondescript North Hollywood street surrounded by seedy restaurants
and grim houses. In stark contrast to the soulless Valley sprawl around it,
though, tonight the studio’s control room pulsates with kinetic hard rock
blasting out of the speakers and bouncing off the walls, volcanic guitars and
brontosaurus drums perfectly transitioning from fevered verses into fiendishly
catchy choruses.
These are the unfinished songs that may or may not form the heart of the debut
album from Scars On Broadway, the collaborative effort of guitarist-frontman
Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan, both best known for their work in
System Of A Down. At first, Malakian was hesitant to unveil a handful of
in-progress tracks that lack bass and keyboards, but as he now lounges on a
leather couch while enjoying the occasional bong hit, he’s clearly pleased by
Revolver’s ecstatic reaction. |

Outside The System: 2007

England seemed nice this time of year; the festival was going to start later
this evening, and I can already smell the testosterone of the moshpit. I was
visiting a friend, as she and I were outside sitting at tables lined up under a
pavilion. The buffet they had for the festival was plenty; there were more
people than I ever expected.
My friend had mentioned to me how she had seen System Of A Down just a few days
ago. Of course my gratuitous response was because I was more than happy she had
gone. It had been almost one year since I’ve seen any band perform. I wish I
could have been with her. |
