Unveiled during 2008, SCARS ON BROADWAY is a band project led by SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan. The band sold just under 24,000 copies of its self-titled debut album in the United States during its first week of release to debut at no. 17 on the national Billboard 200 chart.

The group filmed a video for the song 'World Long Gone' on 19th August in Southern California, notably directed by Joel Schumacher, whose major motion picture credits include 'The Lost Boys', 'Batman Forever', 'Flatliners' and 'St. Elmo's Fire'.
