After breaking a five year hiatus, System of a Down has announced plans for a North American reunion tour this spring. The 10-city tour kicks off on May 10 at the Rexall Place in Edmonton, AB, Canada and runs through May 25 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, Calif.

The band will play one additional Canadian date May 12 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver before heading to the U.S. for a handful of West Coast gigs including May 13 at the Key Arena in Seattle; May 15 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif.; May 18 at the Comfort Dental Amphitheatre in Denver; and May 19 at the Hard Rock Casino in Albuquerque.

There are also concerts scheduled for May 21 at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre in San Diego; May 22 at The Pearl in Las Vegas; and May 2 at The Forum in Los Angeles.

There's no telling whether or not the group will be back for good. According to a statement on their website, they "have no master plan of sorts we are playing these shows simply because we want to play together again as a band and for you, our amazing fans."

The founding members of System of a Down Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian and Shavo Odadjian met while working at a recording studio. What brought them together despite their eight year age difference was the fact that all had attended the same Armenian school in Los Angeles. They formed a band called Soil with two other members, though the band never got off the ground and the two members ended up quitting.

After Soil broke up, the three original members founded System of a Down, recruited a drummer, and released their first demo tape in 1995. This was later followed by Demo Tape 2 in 1996 and Demo Tapes 3 and 4 in 1997. While playing at a club in Hollywood, the band caught the eye of a producer and later signed with American/Columbia Records.

Their debut, self-titled album came in 1998, which brought them into the public spotlight, both on MTV and on tour with Slayer and Metallica. Their second album, "Toxicity," debuted the same week as September 11, and despite the tragic events, the song "Chop Suey!" gained significant air time on MTV for its politically sensitive lyrics: "(I don't think you) trust in my self-righteous suicide." The song later went on to earn a Grammy nomination.

After some of their unreleased tracks from "Toxicity" leaked, the band decided to release the group of songs as their third album, "Steal This Album!" Back-to-back in 2004 and 2005, the band released their fourth and fifth studio albums, "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize."

One notable song from "Mezmerize" is "B.Y.O.B.," which took home the group's first Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.

In May 2006 the group decided to take a hiatus and work on solo projects, though they acknowledged from the beginning that it was just a break and not a break-up.

In November 2010, the group announced the first gigs they would play together in four years, which were mainly European festivals. They also announced a North American tour in Spring 2011.
