A HUGE rock album has mysteriously disappeared from Spotify, leaving fans furious.
This heavy metal band shot to fame in the early noughties and are often known for their politically motivated songs.
Fans have been left fuming after they found that System of a Down’s 2001 album Toxicity was no longer on Spotify.
It had completely disappeared from the music streaming site, and no reason has been given, leaving their followers scratching their heads.
Mysteriously, the album then returned to the service a few hours later.
Bizarrely, however, the album’s top three songs – Chop Suey!, Toxicity, and Aerials, – do not have the Toxicity album artwork displaying next to them either.
Instead the trio of hits are showing under the compilation album Rock Classico.
Taking to Reddit after the tracks initially vanished, one fan said: “Yeah I don’t know what’s happening but it’s weird!”
While another added: “Where is the album gone? I need it back!”
This one added: “I can’t live without it! It’s like oxygen for me!”
ROCKING ON
System of a Down were formed in California in 1994.
Since 1997, the band has consisted of founding members Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards), Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals), and Shavo Odadjian (bass, backing vocals).
John Dolmayan is on drums, after replacing the original drummer Andy Khachaturian.
Over the years the band have had a huge amount of success.
They have released five studio albums, three of which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.
System of a Down has also been nominated for four Grammy Awards.
Their song B.Y.O.B. won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2006.
The band went on a hiatus in 2006 but, much to their fans’ delight, they reunited in 2010
Musing over the band’s ongoing appeal, lead singer Tankian told The Sun last year: “I think it’s a combination of our songwriting.
“I think it’s a combination of the fact that no matter how dead serious we might be in one song, the next song could be a hilarious, funny song, or even within the same song.
“There’s many moments of jest and we’re laughing at ourselves because life is too short.
“I think it makes us very unique and different in how we present our music and who we are. People relate to it, I guess. I don’t know. You’ve got to ask them.”
