SYSTEM OF A DOWN'S SERJ TANKIAN: 'WE DON'T HAVE A SET TIMELINE' FOR NEXT STUDIO ALBUM

In a brand new interview with SPIN.com, SYSTEM OF A DOWN frontman
Serj Tankian was asked about the status of the band's long-awaited new
studio album. He responded: "There is an openness to working together
again when we all have material that is mutually accepted. We don't
have a set timeline or anything else to report. One thing we do all
agree upon is that it's gotta be a leap from what we've done before."
SYSTEM OF A DOWN bassist Shavo Odadjian said in a recent interview
with Madcap Music Review that the band has already worked on its first
new music in a decade, with plans to enter the studio in the coming
months to record a full-length album. Asked about the chances of the
group recording for the first time since 2005, Odadjian said, "Yeah,
there's a very good chance. I don't have a date. We've already gone.
We've written some songs. We're keeping it to ourselves. We're getting
back to the bullshit of being together."
SYSTEM last released new music in 2005 with the "Mezmerize" and
"Hypnotize" albums, but started to tour again in 2011.
The band members have reiterated throughout the hiatus that they have
remained friends, although drummer John Dolmayan hinted last year at
some personal issues in the group, saying, "We probably would have
been in the studio making an album already, but for personal reasons,
one of our members cant be in the studio right now. It's a positive
thing, but that's all I can say on that right now."
SYSTEM OF A DOWN recently added two more North American dates to
its upcoming world tour. In addition to a show in Quebec on June 18,
the band will now stop in Detroit on June 17 and Toronto on June 19.
The tour commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide
and will feature SYSTEM OF A DOWN's first-ever performance in their
homeland of Armenia, on April 23.
