During a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Serj Tankian discussed his upcoming EP “Foundations.” Notably, the frontman revealed that the effort will include an early track that he originally wrote for his band System Of A Down.
Tankian said the following:
“It’s five songs. We just shot five videos for it last week with members of the FCC, my back-up band, which was really fun, and we’re going to put it out in September. We’re actually going to start leaking some material as early as next month.
The reason I’m putting it out is that archival nature of writing a book made me look into songs from different periods of time. So one of the songs is from early System days, for example, that I’ve never put out, that I’d never worked with System on. A couple of the songs are from my early 2007 /2008 solo record period, but didn’t fit the record [“Elect The Dead“.]
It’s an interesting retrospective of rock music that I’ve never released from different times, and it’s called ‘Foundations‘ basically because it’s the founding of my musical life. They’re very interesting songs, very different from each other: one is really heavy, one is like, really progressive, there’s just different elements to each of them. But I think they work in tandem.”
