FIRST LISTEN: SERJ TANKIAN

May 2 2012
System of a Down leader Serj Tankian has confirmed that “at this
present time, [System of a Down is] not working on new music.”
Tankian has explained to KROQ that “We’ve mentioned it, but we haven’t
made plans to do so. Everyone’s doing their own thing… I don’t think
there is a reason for it; I don’t think anything is forever…We are
enjoying each other’s company touring and one day we’ll make another
record. I just don’t know when or how.”
However to satisfy the market’s insatiable demand for new music
from outspoken operatic Lebanese-born Armenian-American political
activists, Tankian will be releasing four records of his own this
year. The first of these is his new rock record, Harakiri.
“Rock is easy,” Tankian told KROQ. “It comes to me naturally and
pretty quickly. This [Harakiri] is probably the fastest record that
I’ve ever written in my life. The others, some of them, especially
the orchestral and classical stuff, take a lot more kind of breadth
and a lot more work.”
