System of a Down released their last studio album Hypnotize, back in 2005. Since then, the band has been touring the world from time to time but failed to debut any new music. They reportedly had sessions in the studio, but couldn’t make it fruitful due to creative differences.

Dolmayan recently talked about the process with Let There Be Talk podcast and delivered some bad news. 

“I find it very unlikely. I’m not even sure I wanna do it anymore,” said Dolmayan. “It’s just so much drama. In a lot of ways, I’m just over it.”

Dolmayan also addressed the rumors that guitarist Daron Malakian and vocalist Serj Tankian are the ones who are holding things up.

“It’s not just Daron and Serj. It takes four people to make this band, and it takes four people to unmake it,” he added. “I think that we’re all to blame. I could just blame Daron and Serj, because, quite frankly, they’re the primary songwriters, so it’s easy to.”

Shortly after releasing Hypnotize, System of a Down went on hiatus that lasted until 2010. Since then, the group occasionally reunited for live shows and tours with the latest one scheduled for the summer of 2020.

Now, Daron Malakin has offered an update on the chances of us receiving new music from then in the near future. Unfortunately, the odds aren’t looking so good.

Speaking with Consequences of Sound, Malakin admitted “I don’t see that happening anytime soon” on the subject of new music.

“There was a time that I was waiting and rooting for it and hoping it happens, but … I’m kinda really happy with what I’m doing with [Scars on Broadway, his other band],” said Malakian.

“We all get along as friends in System of a Down. So as friends, everything is cool and I have no problems with anybody. But then as band members, we tend to have different ways of wanting to do things. And it doesn’t seem like we meet eye to eye as band members.

“So, I never say never because you never know what happens. But at the same time, I don’t see that happening anytime soon that we’re all going to get together and make a new System of a Down album.”

System of a Down will start their U.S. mini-tour on October 13th in San Bernardino, where they will play with Incubus backed by At The Drive-In, Clutch, Pallbearer and Skeletonwitch. Then they’ll head to Sacramento next day to play on Aftershock Festival, before shows in Phoenix, San Diego, and Las Vegas on which At The Drive-In and Skeletonwitch will serve as opening acts.

System of a Down released their last studio album in 2005, before taking a four-year-long hiatus in 2006. The band reunited in 2011 and embarked on a worldwide tour. The band has been touring ever since, but despite that, there haven’t been any indications of a new record being in the works.

System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian recently talked with the Rolling Stone magazine and said that while the band members discussed making a “possible record,” there hasn’t been anything concrete. Still, according to Tankian, that doesn’t mean there is something wrong within the band.

“That’s the funny thing,” Tankian said. “When people don’t see a record, they assume the worst about your internal relationship. But the truth is we’re actually better friends – at least I’m better friends with everyone than I’ve ever been. John’s my brother-in-law; he’s in my family. We have a great time together touring. But sometimes putting together a record, and that creative output and how things should be done, is different in four people’s heads and it doesn’t always come together. Fortunate or unfortunate, however you want to call it, that’s the truth. But touring is easy, because you’ve done all these songs. You have fun, you go out and tour, and that’s it.”
