System Of A Down 1998

This System Of A Down long-sleeve T-shirt features the iconic hand logo from their self-titled debut album, System Of A Down, released on June 30, 1998. The album marked the band’s explosive entry into the alternative metal scene, introducing their unique blend of heavy riffs, unconventional song structures, politically charged lyrics, and eclectic vocal styles. The hand design itself is a modified version of an anti-propaganda poster created by German artist John Heartfield for the Communist Party of Germany in 1928, specifically a piece titled “Five Fingers Has A Hand.” By adopting and adapting this powerful anti-establishment symbol, System Of A Down visually aligned themselves with their lyrical themes of social and political commentary, establishing a strong and recognizable brand identity right from the start of their highly influential career.
