System of a Down Unreleased Songs

Heavy metal band System of a Down has numerous unreleased songs from various album sessions. Recently, a list of unreleased songs from the Hypnotize/Mezmerise sessions were discovered.

Missing songs
The song titles were initially discovered in early 2008 when someone noticed them written on a board in a 2007 System of a Down calendar. An image of a drumhead with song titles of the complete Mezmerize/Hypnotize songs from the sessions surfaced, evidently from drummer John Dolmayan to the band's manager to celebrate the end of recording in late 2004 where a more clear view of the song titles were viewable.

List of unreleased songs:

-War That No One Won -Magic Babies -Criminal Nation -Religious People -Annoying Car Alarm -Blowing Bubbles -174 -Antibiotics -Citadel (working title= Citadele In The Sky) -Charades (working title= Sheredes) -Love Is A Blood Sucking Bastard -Nun With A Gun/ New With a Gun -Hezze -Elect The Dead -One more song title on the list but it is illegible

Singer Serj Tankian reworked Elect the Dead and Charades for his solo albums. He also performed it solo in 2004 for the Axis of Justice concert series. Footage can also be found of him recording it for SOAD in the Dualdisc DVD version of Hypnotize. Serj also performed a poem called War That No One Won for both Axis of Justice by himself and at a 2004 concert with SOAD. It's unclear if this is related to the song of the same title found in these sessions.

Hezze was an instrumental that the band had originally planned to open Hypnotize but the band pulled the track at the last minute, citing a desire to open with a heavier song in Attack. It was mentioned in detail in a 2005 MTV article before the release of Hypnotize and has also been rumored to be played during the break of the song Mr. Jack. Hezze or perhaps an instrumental from another SOAD song from these sessions has also been speculated to be played during a documentary about SOAD and the Armenian Genocide called Screamers.
