System Of A Down bassist Shavo Odadjian might not have released a new full-length album with his main band in almost 20 years, but he's hardly been idle. Ahead of the release of Seven Hours After Violet, the eponymous debut album from his new deathcore-inspired project, he spoke to Metal Hammer about how this new project fits in with his ideas for System Of A Down and how he's kept creatively busy over the past two decades.
“People are like, ‘Why don’t you just get together with the band [SOAD]?’ If I had it my way, I would just get together with the guys, you know?" he says. "But the band isn’t working right now so do you want me to just sit around on my own and just wait? So with all these thoughts, I decided to just do it [and work on another project]."
