System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan and frontman Serj Tankian have been making headlines in recent months for their opposite political views and commentary on the president. Dolmayan called the Democratic Party bigots in June and attacked the Black Lives Matter Movement, calling it a “Democratic Party Fundraiser.”
Dolmayan also said in April that he’s “over it” in regards to making a new album with System of a Down, after calling for the band to “check the massive egos at the door.”
Bring Me The Horizon released a new track, “Parasite Eve” in June, a track that discusses the state of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, which came with an accompanying music video. In February, the band collaborated with Halsey on the song “Experiment,” which was on Birds of Prey: The album for the Harley Quinn movie.
