System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian had a lot to say to Billboard.com regarding System Of A Down‘s plans, his upcoming solo album “Harakiri” (due out July 10th) and his various side projects.
Speaking on if System Of A Down will do a new album he offered:
“When people are asking, ‘When can we get new music from you,’ I think it’s the biggest compliment in the world. We have not made a plan to do it as of yet. I think it’s something that we’ll get together at the right time when we all have that head space and do it. But, you know, it hasn’t been that time yet, so I think everyone will know when it is. It’s as simple as that.”
Tankian has also dished out some details on his upcoming side projects which include a classical symphony record by the name of “Orca“; his Fucktronic project with Mindless Self Indulgence vocalist Jimmy Urine; and his jazz album called Jazziz Christ.
Speaking on those projects, he stated:
“I’ve got my first classical symphony that I’ve written called ‘Orca,’ like the whale. We’re trying to find the right kind of live orchestra situation so that we can record the orchestra live and release it. I’ve got an electronic project called ‘Fucktronic‘ with Jimmy Urine from Mindless Self Indulgence, and it’s kind of like a concept British gangster film without the film, if that makes any sense. So there’s actors and a lot of cussing and killing and over-the-top hilarious stuff.
And I’ve done a jazz record that we’re so far calling ‘Jazziz Christ.’ I was trying to figure out a way to piss off both the jazz purists and the religious right in the same title”
More details on that and a potential TV/film project can be found at Billboard.com.
