As for that long-awaited System Of A Down record, keep dreaming. During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, frontman Serj Tankian addressed the future of System Of A Down and why a follow-up to 2005’s Mezmerize and Hypnotize still hasn’t materialized.
“We’re all working on music. Daron [Malakian] just put out a record with Scars On Broadway, which is really good. I recommend people check it out. I’m putting out a record of covers, collaborations and collages… But for System, it’s not about whether we all want to make a record. It’s about whether we see it the same way creatively. If we don’t, it’s not worth doing. If we do, then it’s worth doing.”
Tankian then explained that the reason behind the lack of new material is purely artistic: “Our differences of opinion were always creative differences, which I am proud to say. They weren’t personal differences. We always loved and respected each other, and more than ever now. So, that’s not why we haven’t made a record. We haven’t made a record because of a vision difference, and that’s an artistic difference.”
