About this product
Mezmerize is the fourth studio album by System of a Down, released on 17 May 2005 by American Recordings and Columbia Records and the first half of a pair completed by Hypnotize.[2] This barcode is its Japanese CD edition, メズマライズ, catalogue number SICP-682 on the Sony Records International label, made by Sony Music Japan International and released on 18 May 2005 at 2,200 yen including tax.[3][4] It came in a Digipak as a two-month limited production with Japanese lyric translations.[3][5] Its eleven tracks run about 36 minutes, and the opening "Soldier Side" intro carries additional strings found only on the Japanese version.[3][2] It reached number 6 on the Oricon albums chart.[6]
A regular-price Japanese CD followed on 20 July 2005 under its own barcode, 4547366021929.[1][7] In September 2026 CDJapan listed SICP-682 as sold out and Amazon.co.jp offered only used copies.[5][1]
