THE VOICE OF SYSTEM OF A DOWN “4 K” review in Kerrang - “System of a down frontman returns with a fearless and thrilling third outing!” – KERRANG “With shades of Foo Fighters, Metallica and even Rammstein working their way into the mix, a distinct punk-rock feel also sharpens many songs’ edges, most notably on the raucous ‘Fuck, Let’s Figure It Out’ and ‘Uneducated Democracy.’ While fans’ hopes for a new SOAD album continue to loop over Serj Tankian’s recent output, Harakiri easily contains the best music released under the vocalist’s name.” – AlternativE PRESS “It’s fitting that the leadoff track on Tankian’s upcoming solo disc, ‘Harakiri,’ is titled ‘Cornucopia,’ as it sonically and lyrically exemplifies the wide range of musical flavors that fans will hear on the album.” – LOUDWIRE “Although Harakiri will definitely appeal to the fans that discovered Tankian through his work as the frontman for System of a Down, the album offers a wider scope of musical textures that even non-metal and hard rock fans could sink their teeth into.” – AOL/NOISEcREEP “For better or worse, rock and roll has been intertwined with politics since, well, before Nixon, and there have always been those outspoken few who have seen rock music not only as a means of escapism, but as a powerful vehicle for combating corruption and injustice through education.” – Guitar WORLD “With his third full-length solo release, Harakiri, Serj Tankian has crafted a classic. It’s easily the singer’s best work since System of a Down’s Toxicity in terms of songwriting, vision, and execution. That album remains a landmark for hard rock at large, but the vocalist elevates everything to a new plateau here.” - ARTIST DIREcT “On “Harakiri,” his third studio solo album, System of a Down’s Serj Tankian is poet, jester, agitator, and seeker all balled into one frenetic rock ’n’ roll singer.” - BOSTON GLOBE “The third solo album by the Armenian-American singer for System of a Down is by turns brilliant, baffling, beguiling and belligerent.” – USA Today “[Harakiri] was arguably the most up-tempo punk-rock oriented record he’s written since the SOAD days and sure enough, the disc lives up to that billing.” – ABSOLUTE PUNK FEATURING THE SINGLE ‘FIGURE IT OUT’ SERJTANKIAN.COM • YOUTUBE.COM/SERJTANKIAN • FACEBOOK.COM/SERJTANKIAN • TWITTER.COM/SERJTANKIAN.
