SERJ TANKIAN Streams A Song He Originally Wrote For SYSTEM OF A DOWN Early In Their Career

We’re doubtless by no means getting a brand new System Of A Down file, however at the least we will hear a number of the stuff that by no means made it to one of many band’s 5 albums.

System Of A Down vocalist Serj Tankian is now streaming his new single “A.F. Day”, initially written someday early on in System Of A Down‘s profession. “It is a track I wrote within the early days of System Of A Down that I by no means launched,” mentioned Tankian. “The vast majority of the instrumentation and vocals are recordings from that point. Dystopian in temper, it is a reflection of the angst and anti-authoritarian angle I needed to conformity.”

“A.F. Day” is from Tankian‘s forthcoming EP Foundations, which he informed Metal Hammer earlier this yr is basically a retrospective launch in tandem along with his new guide Down With The System.

“The rationale I am placing it out is that archival nature of writing a guide made me look into songs from completely different durations of time. So one of many songs is from early System days, for instance, that I’ve by no means put out, that I would by no means labored with System on. A few the songs are from my early 2007 /2008 solo file interval, however did not match the file [Elect The Dead].

“It is an fascinating retrospective of rock music that I’ve by no means launched from completely different instances, and it is referred to as Foundations mainly as a result of it is the founding of my musical life. They’re very fascinating songs, very completely different from one another: one is de facto heavy, one is like, actually progressive, there’s simply completely different components to every of them. However I feel they work in tandem.”
