Original news, published on 20.11.2010

So it's starting to look like System Of A Down are planning a string of reunion gigs in 2011... which is excellent news (and if you can't accept that go fuck yourself, ed.). Anyway, here's the copy from Blabbermouth:

According to the official blog of Francis Zégut, host of the show "Pop Rock Station" on the French radio station RTL2, System Of A Down will perform at the Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy in Paris, France on June 6, 2011. This is expected to be one of many gigs the reunited band will play in Europe during next summer's festival season. An official announcement on the matter, with more details about the group's future plans, could come as early as next week.

More dates announced soon.

UPDATE

System Of A Down's much-rumored comeback/reunion tour is expected to be announced on Monday, November 29 - or so Blabbermouth tells me - along with details of several European festival appearances in 2011, likely including Download Festival.

In the words of bassist Shavo, "Stay tuned".

System of a Down have set the release of their new album to be in the fall of this year, according to a
message in their website http://systemofadown.com/comingsoon/

"With regards to the recording process guitarist Daron Malakian said in the statement, "We'll play a song through and record it, listen to it and decide what could make it even better ? repeat a chorus, simple rearrangement, we all spark off of each other. Some of the new songs have really great moments ? we want to make the entire song a really great moment."

According to Malakian, some surprising influences can be heard in SYSTEM's new work. "The influences range from KRAFTWERK to DARKTHRONE to the ZOMBIES to the BEACH BOYS, but it all fits together," he said. "It works" "
