Aerials
The chiming, swirling intro to Toxicity's closing single — a clean octave figure that swims under an MXR Phase 90 before the song builds to its anthemic Drop C chorus. Daron Malakian voiced it on a custom Ibanez Iceman through a near-clean Marshall, the phaser giving the simple melody its hypnotic, watery motion. Rick Rubin produced.
