SYSTEM OF A DOWN Has Some “Really Good” B-Sides, Hasn’t Agreed On How To Release Them

A brand new System Of A Down document appears unlikely till vocalist Serj Tankian and guitarist Daron Malakian can compromise on how they want to approach writing. Sadly these inventive variations (normally) prolong to the discharge of some stuff System Of A Down has laying round as properly.

In an interview with The Jesse Lea Present, Tankian mentioned System Of A Down has some unreleased materials that rocks fairly laborious. However till everybody agrees on how and when it needs to be launched, these songs are staying firmly within the System Of A Down vault.

“We do have a small group of unreleased System of a Down songs, and we have not agreed… I imply, I might have preferred to launch them perhaps with a biggest hits or one thing like that. However till everybody agrees, it isn’t going to occur. I do not essentially assume we must always launch the whole lot that is unreleased however… it isn’t that a lot anyway, however when it comes to archival at one level, why not? There are some actually good gems in there, I gotta say at the very least two three gems.”

Tankian additionally touched on how he sees a brand new System Of A Down document occurring, noting it is all a couple of shared imaginative and prescient.

“[An] egalitarian method to the whole lot throughout the band. [In other words] sort of extra equality when it comes to sourcing of the music, when it comes to splitting the whole lot, together with publishing, when it comes to concepts, when it comes to sharing the imaginative and prescient — that sort of stuff.

“It is within the guide. We name it a manifesto jokingly as a result of I wrote factors down that, years in the past once I had some new songs that I believed can be wonderful with System, and so I performed it for the fellows. And I mentioned, ‘Guys, I’ve bought an thought of a imaginative and prescient, a unique means ahead that I believe can be very helpful for the band.’ And I offered it — we name it a manifesto within the guide virtually half jokingly, however bringing a manifesto to rock musicians is… [Laughs] I suppose it does not work — it does not work.

“However I used to be attempting to instill the identical sort of egalitarian rules as I really like as an activist inside no matter I do. And at the moment, it did not work, however perhaps it’ll sooner or later. We’ll see.”
