System Of A Down have discussed the potential for a new album, set to be written after the current world tour.
Announced last year and dubbed the Wake Up The Souls tour, it coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide and has brought the band back together. Speculation is now rife as to whether a new album is on the way, a question answered by Serj Tankian in a Rolling Stone interview.
“There has been talk,” said Tankian, “I have a few that could apply, but I’m not sure until the time comes where I can actually play them for the guys and see if it’s something that vibes off them.”
He continued: “And we are going to play this tour, come back and we’re going to see where we are. If we have songs that work for System, if I have them and Daron [Malakian, guitar] has them. The openness is there to work together, but we haven’t made any particular plans that we can announce.”
