After guitarist Daron Malakian singled out frontman Serj Tankian for not wanting to make a record, drummer John Dolmayan countered with a social media post.
Though John Dolmayan is disheartened about System of a Down's progress on their sixth album, he has high praise for the material they've written so far.
It's been a long, long time since System of a Down have released an album … about seven-and-a-half years to be exact. Now that the band has been playing live shows again over the past couple of years, fans have been drooling for some new material, and according to drummer John Dolmayan, System of a Down "are going to make a new album at a certain point."
It's been six long years since hard rock favorites System Of A Down released their one-two punch of Mezmerize and Hypnotize albums. The band went on hiatus in 2006, which saw frontman Serj Tankian release his solo album Elect the Dead, guitarist Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan formed Scars on Broadway, and bassist Shavo Odadjian worked with RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan on their hip-hop project
