My Door Is Always Open

In a current chat with Chuck Armstrong of Loudwire Nights, Shavo Odadjian make clear the potential for System Of A Down to launch new music, one thing followers have been eagerly awaiting because the band’s final albums, Mezmerize and Hypnotize, hit in 2005.

Regardless of occasional excursions since their 2011 reunion, the Serj Tankian-led group hasn’t put out any recent materials. Odadjian, now 50, opened up in regards to the matter, saying, “Hear, bro, my door is all the time open with that. I’ve 100 riffs ready, in the event that they want something for me.”

He went on to reward guitarist Daron Malakian’s songwriting skills, acknowledging how a lot respect he holds for Malakian’s inventive course of, and explaining in what step of the method he thinks the issues arose: “The way in which it could work was Daron would are available and he’d have full songs, which I fucking respect, man. The dude’s a fucking sick-ass songwriter. After which Serj would have songs he’d herald full. It will simply be Serj‘s had been a bit of completely different than what the mildew of System turned. So we might use a few of it, however not all of it. And I really feel like that is the place the disconnect occurred.”

Odadjian additionally defined that the love between the band members remains to be there, regardless of the inventive variations: “It wasn’t like somebody fucking cursed anyone. It wasn’t like somebody banged anybody’s woman or stubborn out… Nothing occurred which you could’t be cool with. We’re nonetheless cool with one another. We stroll on stage. We love one another. So there’s all the time gonna be that. I wanna all the time play exhibits with them. And also you by no means know, bro. I am all the time gonna depart that door open. It should not be shut.”

Reflecting on the dearth of latest music, Shavo expressed his disappointment, calling it “a fucking disgrace” that extra tracks haven’t been made, particularly since they recorded two songs just some years in the past.

“It is a fucking disgrace that isn’t taking place as a result of we will accomplish that a lot. Look, we went in, we did two songs 4 years in the past. How they sound, man. I imply, that may very well be an album of that shit. And we will even write crazier songs. That was fast. Daron introduced just a few of these in — increase, increase, increase — and the tune was accomplished; it was, like, two days. Think about if it was entering into and writing precise music and caring in regards to the album. ‘Trigger we compose albums. We’re not, like, songwriters. We’re songwriters that make albums. It is all in regards to the composition of the album.”
