SYSTEM OF A DOWN’s SHAVO ODADJIAN Going Again To His Roots On A Solo Album

System Of A Down bassist Shado Odadjian is within the studio with producer and Winds Of Plague guitarist Michael Montoya engaged on a “heavy” solo mission. Odadjian mentioned he is getting again to his roots with the report, which is nice contemplating we’re by no means getting a brand new System Of A Down report.

“After years of experimenting with different styles and genres for my side projects, I decided to go back to my roots and make a heavy solo record,” mentioned Odadjian.” Been working hard writing and recording with my bro [Michael Montoya] for a few months now. Here’s a lil snippet of what’s to come. Who wants to hear more of this?”

Curiously, vocalist Howard Jones (Mild The Torch, ex-Killswitch Interact) posted a photograph of himself within the studio with Odadjian and Montoya again in December. Whether or not that has something to do with Odadjian‘s solo mission stays to be seen, however the members actually line up.

Odadjian elaborated on his upcoming album in an interview with Sobre La Dosis, saying System Of A Down remains to be on a artistic hiatus and that his new stuff will certainly be heavy.

“[There won’t be new System Of A Down] in the near future. We’re still on a musical hiatus – a creative hiatus – but we’re playing at Sick New World in Las Vegas on May 13th and I got a solo record coming out very soon. So that’s heavy, and it’s big. It’s not hip-hop, it’s just crazy because usually all my side projects have been kind of hip-hoppy or electro, but I went down and I wanted to do something that felt right to me from day one. That’s my DNA. So look out for the solo record.”

Sick New World will happen on Might 13, 2023 on the Las Vegas Pageant Grounds in Las Vegas, NV and the lineup is a nü-metal dream together with everybody from System Of A Down, Korn, Deftones, and Incubus to Evanescence, Mr. Bungle, Turnstile, Kittie, Cradle Of Filth. Test it out right here.
