John Dolmayan says that System of a Down is “squandering” its creative gift by not putting out a new album.
In 2020, the band released their first new songs in 15 years, “Protect the Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz,” leading fans to speculate that a new album was in the works. The drummer’s comments to interviewer Sona Oganesay insinuate that it won’t be happening soon.
Dolmayan also told the YouTuber that System of a Down “have become more and more successful in despite of our best efforts to ruin it.”
