Drummer John Dolmayan has told Kerrang! in a recent interview that the band are on the verge of a new album, with 15 new tracks written and ready to record.
"We’ve been working on a new album for the last six months and there’s about 15 songs that I think are album-worthy, but we don’t know what’s happening in terms of release, it’s still not 100% as far as plans go" Dolmayan says.
He continues, “I want everyone on board and feeling good about it, that’s what we’re trying to accomplish right now. There’s a tremendous amount of pressure on us, though, because it’s been 11 years – at least 12 by the time it comes out. Our playing ability is better than it ever has been and we’re trying new things. We’re not trying to make Toxicity Part Two, just because it was by far our biggest album."
So there you have it - It would appear that in the face of political and global turmoil, there may just be some good news on the horizon.
