# System of a Down Reveal Possible ‘Comeback’

*By Altwire Staff · March 26, 2015*

More promising news of System of a Down returning to the studio has been revealed by bassist Shavo Odadjian in an interview with [Madcap Music Review](https://www.google.com/sorry/index?continue=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D9DT2gR3Yszk%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&q=EgQtTAUnGPSV3o4GIhDVtWlvmOfnI7TPx4QDKD0jMgFy)-

*"There's a very good chance [that System will return to the studio],"* Odadjian stated, *"I don't have a date. We've written some songs. We're keeping it to ourselves. We're getting back to the bullwhip of being together."*

Fans have waited impatiently since 2005's *Mezmerize/Hypnotize* double album for this particular news, with certain members of the quartet having pushed for a new album over the years, as well. Drummer John Dolmayan spoke with [Loudwire](https://loudwire.com/system-of-a-down-john-dolmayan-not-really-happy-where-band-is-right-now/) last year on the desire to reunite in the studio; *"I'm not sure if I'm the member who wants it the most. It's probably true about [me] being the most vocal about wanting it.*

*"We could have started already, but we chose not to for personal reasons that I'm not at liberty to discuss right now. It's positive stuff, that's all I can say at the moment. We could have very easily have been in the studio as you and I are speaking right now, but for something very positive, we couldn't. Let's just leave it at that."*

Between Dolmayan and Odadjian's interviews, vocalist Seri Tankian himself mentioned possible album plans to [Rolling Stone](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/genocide-and-kim-kardashian-the-bloody-history-behind-system-of-a-downs-tour-190963/2/) earlier this year, explaining the band members had to see where they were on the matter after their 'Wake Up the Souls' tour kicking off in April.

*"The openness is there to work together, but we haven't made any particular plans that we can announce."*

Stay tuned.
