Serj Tankian Has Written Another Entirely New EP Already, Two More Albums In The Works

We’re only getting started for the promotional cycle for Serj Tankian’s next EP, Elasticity, and turns out Serj already has a whole other EP in the bag.

We’ve heard the title track, “Elasticity” and the EP is slated for a March 19th release. Originally, the tracks were ideas he had for a System of A Down album that never was. But this new new EP is  “a different genre of rock, more electronic and mellow and beautiful,” according to a recent interview.

Tankian told

Tankian told Kerrang! that he’s actually got a few different projects in the works. “All I can tell you is that I have some material ready from last year because lockdown was a musician’s studio dream, in a way. You can get in and work because you don’t need to travel or anything else. I was able to create and finish a lot of music as well.

“I was able to finish this EP, I’ve created another EP of a different genre of rock, more electronic and mellow and beautiful. That type of music. I’ve got two records of cinematic music, instrumental music of stuff that I’ve had that I created for the sake of it, and a 24-minute modern piano concerto that I’ll be releasing this year.”

“I know I’m scheduled to do some film scores, and they’re accompanying genres and flavors that I enjoy, because each film is different, each director wants a different thing. I’ll end up with a record — a soundtrack — of music that I’ve never done before that I could completely create: that’s an artist’s wet dream, right? Whatever comes to me from the universe in terms of the type of music, I have no idea…”

We will certainly be listening!
