While promoting his new Elect The Dead Symphony project, frontman Serj Tankian commented on the current rumor that 2010 would mark the return of System of a Down.

"We always have offers to play, from festivals and stuff, but we have not decided to do anything as of yet," Tankian explains. "We're in touch. We talk. We call it an indefinite hiatus, and that's how we still look at it. Nothing's really changed."

This contradicts bassist Shavo Odadjian's recent online teases that SOAD would be back this year.

Tankian is currently working on his second solo album, Music Without Borders, which he hopes to release this summer.
