After speculation that System of a Down might be working on a new album, drummer John Dolmayan confirmed that it’s happening and also told Kerrang what that album might just sound like.
In an interview with Kerrang, drummer John Dolmayan elaborated,
“Our playing ability is better than it ever has been and we’re trying new things. We’re not trying to make ‘Toxicity’ Part II, just because it was by far our biggest album. This needs to be something for a new generation of SOAD fans, so everyone can see we’re not resting on our laurels,”
Dolmayan also confirmed that the band has written 15 songs for the new album so far, and that this has been in the works for the last six months.
