I don't care what anybody says, System of A Down is metal and I love 'em. Their back catalog is absolutely timeless (especially the first three records) and I find Toxicity in constant rotation. While the band did a select few shows over the last few years it doesn't seem like they are going to be recording a new album anytime soon.
That brings us to this new Linkin Park song featuring SOAD guitarist Daron Malakian. It sounds VERY MUCH like a SOAD song with guest vocalist by Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park rather than the other way around. I'm curious how much say in the writing process Daron had, because I am digging the track:

What do you think of the track?
