Not holding our breath for this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s been 15 years since System Of A Down<\/strong> released their last album, and it looks like three quarters of the band have got back into writing new music together – just without frontman Serj Tankian.  <\/p>\n

In a candid interview<\/a> at the end of 2018, System Of A Down bassist Shavo Odadjian revealed that new SOAD music was being worked on, and that is was sounding pretty great.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween you and me and this world, and to the people who read this interview, we have material that tops everything we\u2019ve done,\u201d<\/em> Shavo shared. \u201cAnd that\u2019s me telling you, honestly. I can\u2019t wait to record that and drop it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of time. I just hope it happens sooner than later. But we\u2019ve written stuff together. Daron [Malakian]\u2019s brought a lot of stuff in. I\u2019ve brought stuff to Daron and we\u2019ve worked it out. I have so much more stuff that is ready to go out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Shavo was also surprisingly candid about the rumoured in-fighting, which had previously held back any hopes of new music and touring. At the time, he shared that that was all just a rumour, sharing \u201cWe\u2019re not even fighting. When we see each other, we\u2019re so happy and we\u2019re cool. It\u2019s weird that we don\u2019t have a new record, or many records, and it\u2019s weird that we don\u2019t go on world tours. We tour, but it\u2019s so little.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

But apparently that’s changed somewhat, with a recent interview with System Of A Down drummer John Dolmayan casting doubt on whether there will ever be a new SOAD album at all.<\/p>\n

When asked if we are any closer to a new System Of A Down album, he shared \u201cWe\u2019re further away. We were getting close for a little while. Shavo, Daron and I were in the studio \u2013 this is two, maybe three years ago now. We finalized the music for 12 songs. They were very good. But due to internal problems and rifts, I don\u2019t see that happening.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sad news. <\/p>\n

System Of A Down also just announced a massive, one-off show for later this year in Los Angeles with support from the likes of Korn, Faith No More, Helmet and Russian Circles on May 22.<\/p>\n
