"It's just so much drama and bullshit" System Of A Down drummer John Dolmayan has said that it’s “very unlikely” that the band will release a new album.
The California outfit last released full-length records in 2005 with ‘Mesmerize’ and ‘Hypnotize’. Though they’ve been in the studio on a number of occasions since going on hiatus in 2011, no new music from SOAD has emerged.
In 2018, Tankian and co. attempted to work on an LP but were plagued by creative differences. Late last year, Dolmayan suggested that it was time for the group “to put the bullshit aside” and “work together for a common goal” of completing a new record.
