10 Best Live Acts In Metal Today
2. System Of A Down
System Of A Down aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but their live performance will make a believer out of any skeptic. The band never miss a note, with every song sounding as perfect as it does on their studio releases.
Vocalist Serj Tankian is the true standout in the group, as he delivers a vocal performance that is largely unmatched in the world of heavy music. Not only that, but you may actually learn something while you enjoy the music, as their stage show often tackles real-world issues and political themes, most recently on their Wake Up The Souls world tour, based around the tragic Armenian genocide.
While it’s true that the band likes to get political, they also play their classic songs like Chop Suey, B.Y.O.B, and Mr Jack with an air of professionalism that is near impossible to match.
