System Of A Down with Wisp, Deftones, and more

System of a Down, formed in Southern CA, blends '80s thrash and '90s alt-rock with politically charged nu-metal. Known for hits like "Toxicity," "Chop Suey!," and "Aerials," they achieved chart success with albums like "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize," and went multi-platinum. After a hiatus, they reunited to release charity singles, raising funds for Armenians. Their members also pursued solo projects, including collaborations with artists like Arto Tuncboyaciyan.

Deftones, known for their ferocious yet dreamlike sound, blend metal and atmosphere across nine albums, including hits like "White Pony." They've earned Grammy nods and worked with producer Nick Raskulinecz.
