System Of A Down is currently plotting a 2020 tour. There are times when you have to say, “OK, this is not working on the business end but I love you.” With bands, you rarely see that happening. The band currently consists of Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards), Daron Malakian (vocals, guitar), Shavo Odadjian (bass, backing vocals) and John Dolmayan (drums). The difference between business and bands are people know when they’re working within a business, but when they’re in a band, it’s confusing because you’re also very close friends. System of a Down, sometimes shortened to System and abbreviated as SOAD, is an Armenian-American heavy metal band from Glendale, California, formed in 1994.
We’ve been friends and together for 25 to 30 years. They mashed together thrash metal and melodic hard rock (yes, I said that seriously) to the point that Serj Tankian, could jump from his harsh shouting to the tuneful but complex 'Aerials. We got together to rehearse, said hi and had a conversation and just carried things forward as we’ve always done. 'Toxicity,' System of a Downs second album, remains their best effort.
At the time, Tankian said he values the band's friendship more than new music. This is basically the exact same sentiment Tankian voiced back in 2018, so it's not too surprising. We’ll be announcing some new shows soon.” Maybe one day that will change, maybe that won’t, but we’re all close friends and we enjoy each other’s company and we’re like family at this point, after 25 years.

We haven’t been able to see eye to eye to continue as far as creating new music together. Heavy metal band System Of A Down hasnt released an album in 15 years, but frontman Serj Tankians popularity. The last few years in particular have been filled with drama regarding progress on potential new music due to creative differences between the band members. Tankian says the band hasn't "been able to see eye to eye to continue as far as creating new music together," though they still enjoy hanging out and touring together. 'Protect the Land' and 'Genocidal Humanoidz' are the first new songs from System of a Down since the band's 2005 albums, Mezmerize and Hypnotize. Now in a new interview with Billboard, vocalist Serj Tankian says nothing has changed in the new music holdup.
