When asked in which stylistic direction the album would go, Malakian answered as follows:

“It will probably be something electronic mixed in with traditional Armenian and thrash, death, black, and doom metal influences. When, or even if, the music comes out, it will still be structured, just like System of a Down's music is. "

- Daron Malakian

“It will probably be something electronic with influences from traditional Armenian music and from Thrash, Death, Black and Doom Metal. At that point, or if the album even comes out, it will still be structured like System of a Down. "

- Daron Malakian

The idea for the electronic style was already demonstrated at all System-of-a-Down concerts in 2005; instead of singing the chorus on "Sugar", "War" and "Old School Hollywood" Malakian changed his voice electronically with a vocoder . In a recent interview, Daron Malakian revealed that the music style is also influenced by classical rock music similar to that of David Bowie , Brian Eno , Yes, Neil Young , and Roxy Music. He also said that the style of the music is evolving from System of a Downs Alternative Metal to a more song-based work.
