System Of A Down: Future Uncertain
System Of A Down insist they are not splitting up - but admit the
band has an uncertain musical future, reports World Entertainment
News Network.
John Dolmayan, Daron Malakian, Serj Tankian and Shavo Odadjian
announced their hiatus from the band earlier this year to work on
separate projects.
And frontman Tankian believes the break was long overdue.
He says, "I've wanted to make my solo record for years, but I just
haven't had the time. For the last 11 years we've all been wedded to
this band, and now we want to take a break.
"I honestly don't know if System Of A Down are over or no. Maybe in a
few years we'll want to make another album. It's impossible to tell
right now. It'll be later down the line that we'll be able to tell
what might happen."
System Of A Down is featured in a new documentary called "Screamers",
about the history of genocide throughout the 20th century. The film
premiered in Los Angeles on December 8 and will expand to other
cities in January.
System Of A Down's last two albums, "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize", were
released in May and November 2005 respectively. Both debuted on The
Billboard 200 chart at No. 1 and have sold a combined total of three
million copies in the U.S.
