Shavo Odadjian joined Soil quite down near the end as a guitarist. The roots of System of a Down lie in the band Soil (not to be confused with SOiL), a group from Los Angeles that included Serj Tankian on vocals and Daron Malakian on guitar, as well as Dave Hakopyan (Bassist for Apex Theory) on bass and Domingo Laranio (Local Hawaii Drummer) on drums. System of a Down is a part of the Axis of Justice, a non-profit organization formed by band member Serj Tankian (along with Tom Morello) that is dedicated to bringing together musicians, music fans and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice. System of a Down has achieved commercial success over five albums, with singles such as "Chop Suey!" and "B.Y.O.B.".

System of a Down (also referred to as SOAD or System) is a four-piece Grammy-award winning experimental rock band, formed in 1995 in Los Angeles, California.
