Serj Tankian, the lead vocalist and lyricist of the GRAMMY© Award-winning rock band System of a Down, is a constant creator looking forward. His recent New York Times bestseller memoir, Down with the System, delved deep into the principles, passions, and philosophies that have driven his life in and out of music. Similarly, his new EP, Foundations, mines music and lyrics from past decades and presents them in a hard - hitting, focused collection. As Tankian says, it's “A retrospective of songs from different stages of my life, to complement the memoir.” The record features additional instrumentation by Dan Monti (guitars, bass, and drum programming), and on “Cartoon Buyer,” bassist Mario Pagliarulo and SOAD drummer John Dolmayan contribute. “Foundations” will be released on November 1st.
