Serj Tankian (Western Armenian: Սերժ Թանկեան, pronounced [ˈsɛɾʒ tʰɑnˈkjɑn]; born August 21, 1967) is a Lebanese-born American singer-songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, poet, and political activist. He is best known as the lead vocalist, songwriter, keyboardist and occasional live rhythm guitarist of the rock band System of a Down, formed in 1994 by four Armenian-American friends.
During his musical career, Tankian has released five albums with System of a Down, one with Arto Tunçboyacıyan (Serart), as well as the five solo albums Elect the Dead, Imperfect Harmonies, Harakiri, Orca, and Jazz-Iz-Christ. A live orchestral version of Elect the Dead incorporating the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra named Elect the Dead Symphony was released. In 2002, Tankian and Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello co-founded a non-profit political activist organization, Axis of Justice. Tankian also founded the music label Serjical Strike Records, and is represented by Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group under System of a Down. On August 12, 2011, Tankian was awarded the Armenian Prime Minister's Medal for his contributions to the recognition of the Armenian Genocide and the advancement of music. He is widely considered and ranked as one of the greatest vocalists in metal history, with praise given to his unusual delivery and his wide vocal range. Serj Tankian is currently listed as one of the Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists by Hit Parader, ranked at #26. A study conducted by VVN Music found Tankian to possess one of the highest and most diverse vocal ranges, not only in metal, but in all of popular music, with a range of 4.2 octaves.

Directed by Rand Courtney Translated Lyrics (English) We've always lived on these lands, Reaped and Harvested these fields, Generations sprung from your rivers, Children born from your mountains, The public mask of tradition, The struggle for liberation or death, The enemy's gaze at your terrain, Our smiles at your bosom, At your bottomless will. We're going to sing with our fists With the tricolor flag of justice, Humanitarian love of peace With the holy blessing of a child's face, We are going to prevail with culture We are going to prevail with culture We are going to prevail by being Armenian. Translated Lyrics (Russian) Мы всегда жили на этих землях, Сеяли и собирали на этих полях, Поколения выходили из этих рек, И младенцы рождались из этих гор. Мы известны традицией- Борь...
New Album Harakiri Available Now! - smarturl.it/harakiri Directed by Tawd Dorenfeld Note From Serj Tankian: Borders are the gallows of our collective national egos. Subjective lines in the sand, water and air are separating plants, animals, and atmosphere. Fear! Fear is the cause of separation for this imposed illusion, this cordoned off space from pre-birth. When we run out of borders, we reach infinity and unity. As for flags, they're much less useful than toilet paper. No one has been caused distress by running out of flags. They become useful in times of crisis and unjust manipulative coercions pitting the victim against the victor or vice-versa. Neoliberal globalism is failing due to its underlying imperial ambitions and the discoveries of those sinister ulterior motives. So the am...

http://www.kcet.org/arts/artbound/counties/los-angeles/serj-tankian-where-im-from.html For Artbound's "Where I'm From" series, we aim to delve into the cultural landscape of Southern California through in-depth interviews with musicians, artists, and other culture creators, exploring the role that their environment plays, or played, in their creative development. Through these portraits, we hope to gain exclusive insights into the interaction between place and imagination. These videos will attempt to answer the questions: Why here? How did California become the creative capital of the world?
Buzzing from watching others dramatic lies
As the TV slyly stares at me
Body piercings like those of
Ancient Egyptians, kinky slave prisoners fly at me
Placing a thorn upon her head
Slashing her wrist, rowing around on her cavity
Being chased by little kids
Playing miniature toy accordions, her destiny
I abhor the whore who calls her reality, reality TV
I abhor the whore who calls her reality, reality TV
Fundamentally mental, deprived of meaning, hedonistic theatrical entropy
The gaining of lost confidence, from the failures of others cheering
"No, that can't be me"
I abhor the whore who calls her reality, reality TV
I abhor the whore who calls her reality, reality TV
A genetically mysterious horde of specimens sharing their empty lives with
Grammatically inept common denominators destroying all of life's mystery
Body piercing, those off
Ancient kinky Egyptians slave prisoners fly at me
Nipples, tongues, testicles, cheeks
Nipples, tongues, testicles, cheeks
The century of liquid residual wishes call me
Body piercing, those of
Ancient kinky Egyptians slave prisoners fly at me
Nipples, tongues, testicles, cheeks
Nipples, tongues, testicles, cheeks
The century of liquid residual wishes call me
Buzzing from watching others dramatic lies
As the TV slyly stares at me
I abhor the whore who calls her reality, reality TV
I abhor the whore who calls her reality, reality TV
