Daron Malakian recently spoke of the band’s sound, and the fate of System Of A Down, saying:

“I think the Scars stuff tends to take more of a rock direction, even though I would say there’s a lot of material on this album that I think has more of a System of a Down flavor in it than maybe the first Scars album did,” Malakian said to Kerrang. “As of right now, System’s not making albums, so this is the project through which I’m releasing my songs.”

System Of A Down will be heading out on a few headlining shows with At The Drive-In and Skeleton Witch this October. Check out the full list of dates below:
