Scars on Broadway Announce First New Album in Seven Years, “Killing Spree” Streaming Now

Seven years after the release of their sophomore album Dictator, Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway have announced the impending July 18 release of another full-length effort, this time titled Addicted To The Violence.

In addition to the announcement of a new album, the music video for its first single “Killing Spree” was premiered over at Rolling Stone. As is par for the course when it comes to Malakian and his writing style, the track is frenetic and deals with some tough topics affecting society today.

Speaking on the subject matter of “Killing Spree,” Malakian said it’s all about society’s desensitization to violence.

“It’s a taboo topic people might be afraid to talk about. Kids have rebelled forever. Mental disorders have always been there too. In the last 15 years, we’ve seen a generation that will walk into school and kill other students. I’m not glamorizing or advocating it. I’m just saying, ‘The kids are on a fucking killing spree.’ It’s what I see in front of me. I’m not just talking about killings either. You’ll see a lady who’s getting beaten up on the subway and people around her aren’t even helping; they’re fucking recording on their iPhones. We had automatic weapons fifty years ago, and nobody was doing this. I blame the mindset. We now have a generation that is so detached and desensitized. They’re totally unemotional and unempathetic. There’s no respect for life.”

Addicted to Violence will be released on July 18, but you can preorder your copy today.
