Serj Tankian’s eagerly-awaited Elasticity EP arrives on March 19. A preview of the five-song release comes via the Vlad Kaptur-directed video for the EP’s title track, “Elasticity”

When I conceived possibly doing another record with the guys from System of a Down a few years back, I started working on a set of songs that I arranged in rock format for that purpose,” Serj explains. “As we weren’t able to see eye to eye on the vision in the future with a SOAD album, I decided to release these songs under my moniker.” With his trademark eclecticism and one-of-a-kind vocal style, Serj delivers a collection that runs the gamut from hard-driving, electronically enhanced anthems like the title track, a rallying cry for his beloved Armenia (“Electric Yerevan”), the tongue-in-cheek political mash-up of “Your Mom,” the piano-laden “How Many Times?” and “Rumi,” a song that Serj wrote both about his son Rumi and Rumi the poet.

One of the most multi-dimensional figures in modern music, the GRAMMY Award-winning artist is profiled in the upcoming film, “Truth to Power” (Oscilloscope Laboratories/Live Nation Production; Watch the trailer🙂

With exclusive interviews, adventures, and original footage personally filmed by Serj, “Truth To Power” allows audiences backstage access to an international rock star whose faith in music revolutionised not only heavy metal but also world events. Throughout his life, the musician has pursued social justice, harnessing his songs and celebrity’s power for real political change. Serj’s voice is equally likely to take on American corporate greed as lambast his homeland’s corrupt regime. Congress finally approved his decades-long campaign for formal U.S. recognition of the Armenian Genocide in December of 2019.
