System of a Down Working On Sixth Studio Album

 
 
The U.S. might be on the verge of collapse right now, but there is at least one thing that we all can take minor comfort and compensation in: System of a Down is OFFICIALLY making its first new album in 11 years!

In an interview with Kerrang drummer John Dolmayan finally let loose that the band was putting together a new album after they had already teased their fans with a couple of Instagram posts with them jamming together. In the interview, Dolmayan goes into detail on what SOAD is trying to do with the new album, saying:
 
“Our playing ability is better than it ever has been and we’re trying new things. We’re not trying to make Toxicity Part II, just because it was by far our biggest album. This needs to be something for a new generation of SOAD fans, so everyone can see we’re not resting on our laurels. I want everyone on board and feeling good about it, that’s what we’re trying to accomplish right now.”
 
So far there are apparently 15 brand new tracks that are being worked on for this new album over the past six months. That's definitely some pretty ambitious work on their part. Then again, given the current state of affairs in the world and how long it has been since they put out a new album it's no surprise that they would have an abundance of inspiration and ideas to put towards a new record. Regardless, I'm definitely stoked to see what a new SOAD album will sound like and what it will have to say.
