System of a Down released their last studio album, Hypnotize, on November 22, 2005. The band's singer, Serj Tankian, recently elaborated on why there has been no new album from the band in an exclusive interview with NPR on May 14, 2024, stating:

"I guess the short answer to that is creative differences, as Daron and I specifically grew as songwriters. Daron Malakian, yeah, my guitarist in System of a Down and my friend. Our original format was he would write the music and I would write the lyrics. As he grew as a lyricist, I tried to encourage him to sing as much as possible because those were his lyrics."

The singer continued:

"I wanted his voice to come out through his song. I believe that when someone writes a song, they can encapsulate it better with their voice. And so I felt like I wasn't getting the same back at the time, in terms of encouragement, because I was writing more music now, not just lyrics, and I wanted that. I wanted that badly within the band."

He later talked about why he had lost fans to his political activism and why he was okay with it:

"That kind of caused this block for us to be able to proceed musically, ultimately.I'm OK with that because an artist is supposed to basically try to receive through the collective consciousness whatever truths that we're trying to live by, you know, the truths of our times. And if we can't do that as artists, then we're entertainers."

The singer continued, talking about the choice between being an entertainer and an artist:

"...But if you're going to be an artist, then the road is not going to be easy. You're going to have to be honest with yourself and everyone else at all times, and people are going to like you, and people are going to hate you, and that's OK."

System of a Down is best known for their second studio album, Toxicity, released on September 4, 2001. The album is known for its political themes, such as mass incarceration.
