History

Khachaturian was born in Tehran, Iran. He was partially raised in Tehran, Iran.

As System of a Down was forming, Daron Malakian asked his friend, Ontronik, (who had played in his first band with Daron at age 15) to join the band as the drummer. He left in 1997. He later, in 1999, formed The Apex Theory.

Ontronik left The Apex Theory in November 2002 due to musical differences[citation needed]. After leaving The Apex Theory, Ontronik began a short-lived solo project. Not finding what he was looking for musically, however, Ontronik put his solo project on an indefinite hiatus and founded VoKee in early 2004. In 2010, he co-founded the alternative industrial rock trio, KillMatriarch.[1] The trio played their debut performance on August 22, 2010 at the Viper Room in Hollywood, California.[2] They released their first EP "Order Through Chaos" for free on their website on 10/10/10.[3]
