System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian says NEW MUSIC is possible.
During a new interview on the “Broken Record” podcast, Tankian was asked if he was sad that he and his System of a Down bandmates haven’t made a new studio album since “Mezmerize” and “Hypnotize” were released almost 20 years ago in 2005.
“Creatively, I keep on making music and making art and doing creatively what I’m meant to do. And if the opportunity arises for us to work together in an egalitarian fashion in the right way with the right vibe and the right influence, then we’ll do it,” he responded.
System of a Down new album?
Tankian continued: “In 2020, we put out two songs because there was the invasion of Artsakh and Armenia happening by Azerbaijan during COVID, and people didn’t know about what was going on so we used the band and putting out new music as an opportunity to spread awareness and we were successful in doing so.
So hopefully it’s not just the decimation of our people that’s gonna take System of a Down writing new music, but I think when that time is, and I don’t know if it is ever or if it will be, that would be amazing. But I don’t get sad by it, because to me it is what it is. When it’s right, then it happens. When it’s not, it shouldn’t happen.”
