Massive Nu-Metal Album Has Mysteriously Vanished From Spotify

A massive nu-metal album has mysteriously vanished from Spotify, and fans are quite distraught over it.

Fans all over social media have reported that System of a Down’s groundbreaking 2001 album Toxicity is no longer on Spotify. After checking the platform ourselves, we can confirm that it’s gone, though it’s unclear what happened.

Some of the ‘Toxicity’ Songs Are Still Available

The band’s top three songs are still displaying accurately on Spotify — “Chop Suey!,” “Toxicity,” “Aerials,” but the Toxicity album artwork is not displaying next to them. Instead, “Chop Suey!” and “Aerials” are displaying under the compilation album Rock Classico, and “Toxicity” under one called Nice 2000s. 

However, the rest of the songs on the album aside from those three aren’t on Spotify at all, with the exception of some live versions and covers by other artists.

The band, who’s currently on tour in South America right now, have yet to comment on the situation. However, a fan on Reddit messaged a SOAD fan account on Instagram, and the account responded that the band and Sony are allegedly aware and working on a fix.

Stay tuned to see when the issue is resolved, and whether SOAD make a comment on the matter or not.
