System of a Down's DARON MALAKIAN, just two weeks after releasing two new songs with the band, has issued a statement to Guitar World about future releases.
"Look, I never say never." The guitarist/vocalist of Scars on Broadway posited. "We didn't even know [these songs were] going to happen. I was on my way to releasing [them] with my other band SCARS ON BROADWAY. Then the situation in Armenia happened and [sic] put our differences aside. And our differences are only within the band." Malakian continued about the internal struggles within the band as well, stating; ""Personally and outside of the band, everybody gets along reasonably well. There is no hate for each other in System of a Down. We're like a family. A lot of people think, 'Oh, Serj [Tankian, vocals] and Daron don't get along!' and no, that's not true. Serj and Daron get along just fine. But Serj and Daron, or Shavo [Odadjian, bass] and Serj, different people in the band will have a different idea of how they want the band to move forward. That's kind of where our disagreements are at."
Daron also stated he doesn't see himself working on SOAD music for the time being, as he plays it by ear.
"I never say never, but at the same time, I'm not expecting to do any more with SYSTEM OF A DOWN right away or immediately after this. It really does seem like our fans like these new songs. That's important to me."
The new songs have been released with the intention of raising funds to stop the Armenian genocide in Artsakh. Please listen to the songs below, and donate to the cause.
