SYSTEM OF A DOWN: 'WE DON'T HAVE A SET TIMELINE' FOR NEW RECORD

System of a Down vocalist Serj Tankian recently gave a brief update
regarding the status of the band's new record.
The band still hasn't specified an exact timeline, hence it remains
unknown when will we get to finally hear new SOAD material.
"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 think we do all agree upon is that it's
gotta be a leap from what we've done before," Serj told Spin.
Bassist Shavo Odadjian recently noted about the new record: "Yeah,
there's a very good chance [SOAD will enter studio soon]. 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 bullsh-t of being together."
During the rest of the Spin chat, Tankian discussed the group's Wake
Up the Souls Tour and the upcoming concert in Armenia to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of Armenian Genocide.
Asked about scoring music for a movie called "1915," Serj was
also prompted to name the biggest misconception about the Armenian
Genocide. He replied: "'1915' is a unique psychological thriller
dealing with the trauma of loss and the unmistakable continual pain
that denial of a genocide can bring to the children of survivors. I
really enjoyed composing the score for it, diving into sounds and
colors I had scarcely used before, in some cases. It will be released
this month in the States.
"The sad truth is the government of Turkey uses its clout (NATO
member, US ally, Incirlik Airbase, purchaser of weapons) and money
to perpetuate its shameful denial and evade responsibility to avoid
handing out reparations or the return of property to the victims.
"It has instituted a gag rule in the US and Great Britain so much
so that Senator Obama - who criticized George W. for not using the
g-word as president - dropped the same word when he became president.
Genocide should never be used as political capital to appease an ally
in this way. It's morally reprehensible and serves to stifle brave
voices for justice in Turkey regarding the genocide and other matters.
This is what we're fighting against."
