FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES—Nu-metal pioneers System of a Down today announced the official System of a Down Toxicity 25th Anniversary Merch Capsule. This limited-edition drop commemorates their landmark 2001 sophomore album. To celebrate the milestone, the band partnered with international waste management firms to deliver authentic municipal waste directly to loyal fans worldwide.
Premium Industrial Toxins
The System of a Down Toxicity 25th Anniversary Merch Capsule features a premium double-LP vinyl pressed on 'Arterial Silt' colored wax. The centerpiece remains the custom glass vial. Each container holds six ounces of certified industrial runoff sourced from the outskirts of Glendale, California. The band personally oversaw the extraction process to ensure maximum sediment density.
"We wanted to touch the fans in a tactile way," said Marcus Bellweather, Columbia Records' Senior VP of Playlist Emotional Intelligence. "This System of a Down Toxicity 25th Anniversary Merch Capsule bridges the gap between digital audio and tangible ecological decay. It really captures the spirit of the track 'Chop Suey!' in a physical format."
The Soil Experience
Each order ships in a lead-lined shipping container. Fans will also receive a custom hazmat suit embroidered with the band's logo. The apparel line features organic cotton hoodies pre-stained with authentic heavy metals. Collectors can also purchase a replica of the Hollywood sign made entirely from compressed landfill refuse.
