Serj Tankian

SERJ TANKIAN
Elect The Dead 3.5

AN Armenian-American metal band with a social conscience who produce
psychotic music are one of the world’s top acts. Not many could have
predicted that.

In the same way, System Of A Down’s engaging frontman Serj has had
people guessing as to what he’d do on this solo outing. Well he’s
come up with a magical opus.

Schizophrenic enough to please SOAD’s hardcore

fanbase, with scattergun musical complexities and astounding
choruses, but more laden with piano and classical influences.

Empty Walls, Feed Us and Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition are
aural adrenalin. The man represents everything positive. A great role
model to those who think outside the box.SJB
