When the universe aligns, magic happens. This was certainly the case when Shavo Odajian, the legendary bassplayer of System of a Down, crossed paths with producer and multi-instrumentalist Morgoth at a party on 2.22.22.Their initial sessions were a spontaneouscombustionofcreativity,transformingfromapotentialsoloventureintoa full-fledged band.“We wrote a song right away. It wasn’t like any writing session I hadbeen part of before,riffs were just flowing out of me without me even having to try.Every time I felt like I couldn't write anything.Morgoth would hand me a guitar and say, “go, go, go”. I needed that, you know? I needed someone to push mewhen I wasn't pushing myself.”Shavo recalls. As music continued to pour out in torrents, with Shavo writing andperforming all the guitar and bass parts and Morgoth producing and providing the beats, atmospherics and FX,Morgoth suggested they turn it into a Shavo solo project. However, with his eye now firmly set on the live arena,Shavo decided to create a full band.
