The Nova Rock festival recently announced that System of a Down would headline in 2021 along with Bring Me The Horizon, Muse and more. Post Malone gave a shout out to the band in July when he discussed his favorite music genres on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
In 2018, Calonne talked with mxdwn about the band’s songs and songwriting, albums, music videos and how its goblin character is central to their image. In 2019, they took the stage at the Summer Slaughter Tour with various metal bands, and in 2018 they co-headlined a tour with CKY. Nekrogoblikon has released four studio albums and an EP. Near the end of the video it appears the Goblin has added another ingredient - human arms - into the recipe, as he makes Calonne chop up the bloody flesh and put it in the skillet before the pair sit in an inflatable kiddie pool filled with the chop suey. “Today marks the 84-day anniversary of the release of our cover of System Of A Down‘s ‘Chop Suey!‘ so to celebrate here’s a very serious and politically charged video of Nicky and John making chop suey in a kitchen,” the band told Theprp. The video features vocalist Nicky Calonne and the band’s signature Goblin character, John Goblikon, in a kitchen attempting to cook chop suey in between scenes of the band performing on a dark stage with flashing lights swirling all around them, as well as scenes of Calonne getting the chop suey thrown at him until he’s covered in it. But didn't because everyone would censor it, so they named it Chop Suey(cide) as a play on words. In some interviews System of a down said that they wanted to put the word 'suicide' in the name. The band added layers of electronic beats over the song’s original melody, though it maintains many elements of the original. By definition 'Chop Suey' is a Chinese dish made with a lot of mixed ingredients, similar to how modern society has mixed views on suicide. Nekrogoblikon, a melodic death metal band formed in 2006 in Los Angeles, put an electronic twist on the song, replacing the original’s acoustic intro with a robotic voice speaking lyrics from the chorus before jumping into the song’s extremely fast guitar riffs and heavy percussion.
