In that statement, the singer i) admitted that he is responsible for the band’s long hiatus after the Mezmerize/ Hypnotize cycle, ii) confirmed stories that he didn’t even want to make those records in the first place, iii) alleged that by the time those albums were produced, Malakian “controll both the creative process and the lion’s share of publishing, not to mention wanting to be the only one to do press,” and that Serj wanted equal creative input and financial reward for all four members of the band if SOAD were going to move forward, and iv) that Malakian’s latest Scars on Broadway album largely consisted of material that Tankian “didn’t consider applicable to SOAD.”Įarlier this summer, Tankian and drummer John Dolmayan, whose politics are diametrically opposed, got into a public war of words.
