\u201cI\u2019m just as proud of Scars as I am of System of a Down,\u201d stated Malakian in a press release. \u201cThis is another musical outlet for me. I think it\u2019s some of the best stuff I have to offer. I\u2019m blessed that I can still do this and write songs every day.\u201d Addicted to the Violence is a rollercoaster of aggression, vulnerability, satire, and soul.\u201d<\/p>\n
