System Of A Down 'Toxicity' is the band’s second studio album, issued on LP black vinyl. Originally released on September 4, 2001 by American Recordings and Columbia Records, it sits primarily within alternative metal and nu metal.

The album expands on the heaviness and aggression of the 1998 eponymous debut with increased melody, harmonies, and singing. It also incorporates elements of folk, progressive rock, jazz, Armenian music, and Greek music, with prominent use of sitar, banjo, keyboards, and piano. Lyrical themes span political and non-political topics including mass incarceration, the CIA, the environment, police brutality, drug addiction, pedophilia, scientific reductionism, and groupies.
