With a little help from Fear Factory, (hed)pe, and Static X, the Armenian-American new jack metal outfit System of a Down is making the rounds on a tour that will keep the band busy through mid-March.

System of a Down is already on the road with fellow hard-driving rockers Fear Factory as part of a tour that rolls through Atlanta and Carrboro, North Carolina this weekend before rolling into New York on Monday and Tuesday. The band will continue to tour with that formidable double bill through early February when, after a brief break, System of a Down will hook up with (hed) pe and Static X.

Fans may have caught System of a Down on last year's Ozzfest outing, or on the "South Park" soundtrack where the band turns up with Mase, Puffy and Li'l Kim on "Will They Die 4 You."
