System Of A Down released their self-titled debut album on June 30, 1998, it featured singles: Sugar and Spiders. They took the numetal scene by storm with their unusual sound, odd time-signatures and vocals.

The band differentiated themselves by emphasizing on their Armenian musical heritage, which gave their music an eerie, otherworldly quality.

RIAA-certified - 2x Platinum

✨ KYUSS released their third studio album "Welcome to Sky Valley" on June 28, 1994. KYUSS has often been considered the foundation of the "Desert Rock" movement. Singer John Garcia was quoted in Billboard Magazine describing the Kyuss sound: "Black Sabbath was heavy, but it sounded indoors. Kyuss sounds like its outdoors". Indeed. Outdoors, with a lot of motion. Huge motion. That's Kyuss.

A seemingly continuous jam, the album has 10 tracks flow in 3 movements exploring heavy jams and infectious psychedelic grooves.

Producers: Josh Homme, Chris Goss, KYUSS
Engineers: Joe Barresi (Recording, Mixing)
Asst Engineers: Jeff Sheehan, Wade Norton, Alexe Campbell
Add'l Eng: Brian Jenkins
Mastering: Eddy Schreyer
Recorded at: Sound City
