"We are going to make a new album at a certain point, it's just a matter of when the four of us decide it's the right time to make it," Dolmayan said. "We don't want anyone to go in there and do it because the rest of us want to do it. We all want to do it because it's the right thing to do for everybody."

"I wouldn't want to go in and make an album that doesn't represent the best that we have to offer, the drummer continued. "If you force someone in the studio ahead of when they're ready for it, then you're probably going to make something mediocre."
