System of a Down – June 30, 1998 Daron Malakian – guitars, background vocals Serj Tankian – vocals, keyboards/samples Shavo Odadjian – bass John Dolmayan – drums
The hand on the front belongs to the artwork of a poster designed by the artist John Heartfield for the Communist Party of Germany during the Third Reich. The text in the original poster is: "5 fingers has a hand! With these 5 grab the enemy!". This slogan inspired part of the text contained in the back of the System of a Down album: "The hand has five fingers, capable and powerful, with the ability to destroy as well as create". Later, it is written in bold letters: "Open your eyes, open your mouths, close your hands and make a fist". _________________________________________
