So, yeah, don’t sit there waiting for more new music. Hear System of a Down’s First New Music in 15 Years, ‘Protect the Land’ and ‘Genocidal Humanoidz’. “Cos we did do these two songs in a really comfortable, smooth. “The fact that it happened so smoothly and everything like that, I personally do walk away and say it’s a shame that certain things can’t come together to make happen, let’s just say”, he goes on. It was totally for the noble reason of our country needs us, and that was really the driving force and the motivation for this – it wasn’t really about, ‘Wow, we’re so excited to do a new System Of A Down record again'”. “So it wasn’t like a money grab”, he added, “it wasn’t trying to get fame and attention, and, ‘Hey, we’re gonna break the internet’, or nothing like that. “We didn’t make any money off this – everything we’ve made from these songs we’ve donated straight into Armenia Fund”. “We did this for a noble reason, and we did this for the right reasons”, he said. Malakian says that the band only reunited to record those two songs in order to raise money for the Armenia Fund charity to support humanitarian efforts following recent fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the self-declared Republic Of Artsakh. While the two new songs released earlier this month – ‘Protect The Land’ and ‘Genocidal Humanoidz’ – offered fans hope that that deadlock had been overcome, seemingly it has not. The vocalist seemingly wants to take the group in a less heavy direction and is also not keen on long bouts of touring. Why you might wonder? Well, the guitarist adds, “I don’t wanna get into, like, ‘Well, it’s this person and that person'”.īut Malakian has previously said that it is frontman Serj Tankian who has stopped the band from returning – something Tankian himself has actually confirmed. Tankian released his first solo album, 'Elect The Dead', in 2007 and a follow-up effort, 'Imperfect Harmonies', earlier this year, while bassist Shavo Odadjian recorded with members of the WU-TANG CLAN and launched a new online music initiative.
“It should be, but it gets a little bit more complicated than that”. SYSTEM OF A DOWN has been on hiatus since 2006 while its members have pursued various personal projects. Not according to guitarist Daron Malakian anyway. Back in 2019, Malakian shared that System Of A Down were working on a new album. If you’re thinking that System Of A Down’s recent release of new music might be a sign that their first album for fifteen years is on the way, you should probably stop thinking that.
