During an interview with Multishow, the drummer spoke out about the future of the band. When he was asked about the possibility of a new album, John stated:

"For the people who are waiting for an album - I know there's a lot of people waiting for an album; I'm waiting for an album just like they are. It's going to happen when it's right and when we can make something that tops what we've done in the past."

The drummer added that any new album was at least a year away as the band's frontman Serj Tankian would be in New Zealand and has a new solo album to promote.

System of a Down reunited earlier this year after five years away.
