Late last year, System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan revealed that the band were at work on a number of new "album-worthy" songs. Though many were eager to jump at the idea of a new album, another band member has said that isn't in the immediate plan.
As Metal Injection points out, bassist Shavo Odadjian hosted a live question and answer session on Instagram this past weekend. Naturally, many who tuned in had questions about the group potentially releasing their first LP in over a decade.
Of that possibility, Odadjian said, "I know, I'm waiting for a new album too. It's not happening, I don't know. I don't know when it's gonna be. Not right now."

Last November, Dolmayan told Kerrang that the band had come away with 15 tracks that are "album-worthy" after a six-month writing period. The arrival of a new album would mark System of a Down's first release as a group since Hypnotize and Mesmerize arrived in 2005.
