System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has this morning confirmed three UK solo shows for October. The new dates will be in support of his new studio album 'Harakiri'. Serj Tankian Tickets are on sale from 9am on Friday 20th July.
Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, poet and political activist Serj Tankian recently unveiled the music video for his new solo single ‘Figure It Out’. The lead single to be taken from ‘Harakiri’, released earlier this month on 10th July via Reprise Records/Serjical Strike.
Much of the new record was written in 2011, which was an incredibly busy year for the diversely talented musician and what Serj describes as “the busiest, most productive year of my life so far.”
Speaking about the album, Serj says: “The year 2011 started with a fire. Some kids in Piha, NZ were setting off fireworks that landed on my neighbour's property and lit the whole hill on fire. I knew it was going to be a hell of a year and it certainly was,” says Tankian. “Within five days of that, reports came out about birds and fish dying in massive numbers globally. The omen was not lost on me. Varied creatures on earth were committing massive hara-kiri (the Japanese term signifying ritualistic suicide.) Do they know something we don't about the coming times or the sustainability of the environment? That is the day I started writing this record.”
