Which band released the 2001 album 'Toxicity'?

The band that released the 2001 album “Toxicity” is System of a Down.

“Toxicity” is the American band’s second studio album, following its 1998 self-titled debut. It was released on September 4, 2001, through American Recordings and Columbia Records, with production by Rick Rubin and guitarist Daron Malakian. The album became the group’s breakthrough release.

The record blends alternative metal and nu metal with Armenian and Greek musical influences, progressive rock, jazz, and highly melodic songwriting. Songs such as “Chop Suey!”, “Toxicity”, and “Aerials” helped make it one of the defining heavy albums of the early 2000s. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was later certified multi-platinum.

A common mix-up is confusing the album with System of a Down’s 1998 self-titled debut or with “Steal This Album!”, the 2002 follow-up. Linkin Park, Korn, and Slipknot were important contemporary heavy bands, but none released “Toxicity.”
