Roulette


"Roulette" is a song by the American rock band System Of A Down, which was released in 2002 as a track on their album "Steal This Album!". Written by lead vocalist Serj Tankian and pronounced to be in the key of E minor, the song reflects System Of A Down's unique fusion of various genres, including alternative metal and progressive rock. The composition, credited to all band members, showcases their signature blend of heavy guitar riffs, dynamic drumming, and passionate vocals. As for trivia, "Roulette" is notably one of the few System Of A Down songs to feature Daron Malakian, the band's guitarist, taking on lead vocal duties. The melody of the song is characterized by its melancholic and introspective tone, underscored by the band's distinctive use of unconventional time signatures and intricate musical arrangements, further enhancing its emotional impact.
