System of a Down - Holy Mountains (Drop C)

System of a Down's "Holy Mountains", from the album Hypnotize, tuned a half step down. Please note this was edited digitally and SOAD may never have recorded this in Drop C. This is just a showcase on how the songs changed from the first three efforts to Mez/Hyp. Except for "Question!" and "Dreaming", the songs from the 2005 Double album are played in Drop Db, a half step up from what they used to play. This clearly makes the album sound "lighter" and gives somewhat of a vocal highlight to Daron. In the old tuning, Serj's voice can be considered deeper, or better and the new tuning DID force him to sing differently (more nasally) over the years. That's my view, though... Feel free to comment on the subject!
