It’s been thirteen long years since System of a Down released 2005’s Mezmerize and Hypnotize. While drummer John Dolmayan once gave us hope for new material stating that the band has fifteen fantastic songs written for a new record, he also admitted the new LP will arrive, “maybe never.” Daron Malakian has also confirmed that there won’t be a new album for now as Serj Tankian once expressed how the band doesn’t see eye to eye on their overall direction. At this point, it’s best to not get our hopes up thinking something new will arrive. However, Dolmayan has teased us again by sharing a photo of bassist Shavo Odadjian via Instagram, stating:
“Great song ideas flowing from a very strong song writer . Stay tuned @shavoodadjian”
