“It is true that I and only I was responsible for the hiatus Soad took in 2006,” he begins. In response to Malakian’s comments, as Rolling Stone reports, Tankian posted a lengthy, brutally honest message on Facebook explaining the lack of new music. We really begged him to make those records. To be honest with you, Serj didn’t even want to make Mezmerize and Hypnotize. So I feel like the whole experience of becoming the lead singer in a hugely successful band was different for him than my experience was for me. I’m the kid that grew up with Slayer and Kiss on my walls … Serj didn’t grow up feeling that way. “Serj was never really a heavy metal or a rock guy … I don’t know if he has the same love for this kind of music as I do. We’ve all sat down and we’ve had meetings, and he’s totally set in his way of thinking,” Malakian says.
#SYSTEM OF A DOWN ALBUM 2010 HOW TO#
“I don’t want to throw Serj under the bus - he’s my friend and he’s someone that I care about - but I don’t know how to change his mind. And in a new interview with Kerrang!, he discusses the reasons behind the long wait for new System Of A Down music - namely, frontman Serj Tankian. System Of A Down guitarist Daron Malakian is releasing a new album under the auspices of his Scars On Broadway project next week, which contains material that he’d been saving since 2012 for a new System Of A Down album. Their last album, Hypnotize, came out in 2005, six months after its companion album Mezmerize, and their self-titled debut album just turned 20 years old in June. System Of A Down are still together - they reconvened in 2010 after a four-year hiatus, and they have a few tour dates coming up in October - but they haven’t actually released any music in 13 years.
