System of a Down is not working on a new album

System of a Down is not making a new album.

Frontman Serj Tankian said during a Ask Me Anything on Reddit there will be no follow-up to System of a Down’s 2005 album Mezmerize/Hypnotize NME reports.

Tankian was on Reddit promoting his solo albums Orca and Lazz-Iz-Christ when a fan asked “Is it true that there’s a new System of a Down record in the making?” Tankian replied, “No, that is not true. A quick scan of press online will show that we have not yet agreed on a timetable for another record due to its time commitments.”

The band started rumors that they have reentered the studio at a gig in Los Angels according to SPIN.

Drummer John Dolmayan shouted to the crowd, “Next time we come back here, we’ll have a new fucking album.”

System of a Down’s bass player Shavo Odadjian said in May the band wants to record their sixth album without Serj Tankian. The Facebook post was later deleted. Odadjian then said if fans would be open to finding a new singer for the album it may be an option. The band later posted a post that did not support the bassist’s opinion.
