Daron Malakian's Scars on Broadway Announce New Album, Unleash Single 'Killing Spree': Stream
Scars on Broadway, the outfit fronted by System of a Down guitarist-singer Daron Malakian, have announced a new album titled Addicted to the Violence, their first studio LP in seven years. Ahead of its July 18th release, the band has unleashed the single 'Killing Spree.'

Regarding the song 'Killing Spree,' Malakian said, '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.'
He added, '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.'
The July 18th release date for Addicted to the Violence happens to be Malakian's 50th birthday. The musician has been out on the road with System of a Down playing a series of South American shows. This summer, SOAD will perform two-night stands at stadiums in East Rutherford, New Jersey; Chicago, and Toronto, where they'll be joined by Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, and Deftones, respectively (pick up tickets here).
'I'm just as proud of Scars as I am of SOAD,' stated Malakian in a press release. 'This is another musical outlet for me. I think it's some of the best stuff I have to offer. I'm blessed that I can still do this and write songs every day.'

Cartoon characters on cartoon accents in ‘King of the Hill'
This new 'King of the Hill' features a few voices who weren't around for the show's original run on Fox from 1997 to 2009. Ronny Chieng now plays Kahn Souphanousinphone, previously voiced by Toby Huss, who also played Ted Wassanasong. Ted is now voiced by Kenneth Choi. Ted's son, Chane, is now played by Ki Hong Lee, replacing Advertisement In casting Asian actors to play Asian characters, the 'King of the Hill' team, including series creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge, are acknowledging that things aren't the same as when the series first aired. The practice of using white actors to voice non-white characters — often using exaggerated accents — is now rightfully scorned. Alison Brie, star of the new body horror movie 'Together,' has expressed regrets about voicing a Vietnamese character on 'Bojack Horseman.' This isn't 'woke.' It's evolution and basic courtesy, much like the death of minstrelsy. Advertisement Emilio might see Speedy Gonzalez as a revolutionary, and Mel Blanc was definitely a talented guy. But as Hank Hill might say, that kind of voice casting ain't right. Chris Vognar can be reached at

Cregger was also famously part of the "Whitest Kids You Know" comedy troupe, making his jump to horror fame much more special. More news: 'King of the Hill' Revival Reviews Are All Saying the Same Thing Cregger's sophomore horror film "Weapons" has been drawing significant press online, as the trailers showcase a horrific world where a class of children mysteriously disappears, leading a town to demand answers.

The marketing for this film has been BRILLIANT because I was completely unprepared for what goes down in this film. There's some excruciaiting moments of tension and some truly haunting imagery. Fantastic performances all around and some very impressive camerawork. I left with some unanswered questions, and the last third was a little too drawn out. But when it reaches its bonkers climax, I was left lost for words - in a good way. Full Review to follow." My full review of the latest from from Zach Cregger, #WEAPONSMovie is here!

While I am not quite there yet, it is impossible not to be engrossed by Cregger's daring sophomore effort. Weapons swings big, stumbles occasionally, but ultimately delivers the horror event of the year. It is a deliciously nasty piece of business that refuses to play it safe and deserves to be celebrated for its ambition and fearless vision." The mystery of a mass disappearance and its impact on a small town unfold in a fascinatingly layered way that gives every character a chance to shine in Weapons. Our review: — IGN (@IGN) July 30, 2025 IGN has given the film a 9 out of 10 rating and says, "Weapons is a righteous, fully actualized genre-bender in which writer-director Zach Cregger hones Barbarian's blend of unbearable tension and dark humor to a new level of razor-sharpness. The mystery of a mass disappearance and its impact on a small town unfold in a fascinatingly layered way that gives every character a chance to shine; the wise decision to break their stories up into multiple, time-scrambling chapters creates multiple cliffhangers that set up a shattering finale. Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and Alden Ehrenreich lead a cast whose fine-tuned performances all align with and support Cregger's delicate, film-long balancing act." My #Weapons movie review: Zach Cregger crafted a masterpiece. This film builds suspense and terror , while keeping you engaged and on edge.
