A lucky bastard over at Artist Direct sat down for a lengthy chat with ex-SOAD’ers Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan about their new band, Scars on Broadway. Described by the interviewer as the “perfect middle ground between Slayer and The Beatles,” Scars sounds like it’s going to be some serious super-awesomeness for us mere mortals, but it’s just drum business as usual for Dolmayan:

I’m pretty much always in the zone. If you put me behind a drum set right now, I’m in the zone. When I’m playing, the more melodic the music is, the more I feel it. It just becomes like I’m not even in power anymore. It just happens. It’s just a natural thing that happens, like breathing or walking.
