After guitarist Daron Malakian singled out frontman Serj Tankian for not wanting to make a record, drummer John Dolmayan countered with a social media post.

Though John Dolmayan is disheartened about System of a Down's progress on their sixth album, he has high praise for the material they've written so far.
System of a Down played their one-and-only North American show scheduled for this year on July 29 at California's Hollywood Bowl. The Los Angeles crowd went nuts for the band, but after System closed with 'Sugar,' drummer John Dolmayan brought the cheers to a new decibel level by promising a new album when they play L.A. again.

It's been a long, long time since System of a Down have released an album … about seven-and-a-half years to be exact. Now that the band has been playing live shows again over the past couple of years, fans have been drooling for some new material, and according to drummer John Dolmayan, System of a Down "are going to make a new album at a certain point."
More than a year-and-a-half after the celebrated return of System of a Down, it’s possible that we may now have a timetable for when the Armenian-American quartet will be releasing a new album.
