Serj Tankian

Hi and good afternoon to everybody again. Today, I won't speak about videogames or philosophical ideals(like I always did), Today I will speak about one of my favourite singers in the world: the libanist with armenian origin Serj Tankian, who was born in August of 1967.
Serj was in his time the vocalist of a group called "System Of a Down", a rock music group which succedeed between 2000-2005. The group, which was originally for USA, had the particularity that no one of their components was american, all of their were of Armenian origin(The vocalist: Serj Tankian, The guitarists: Daron Malakian and Shavo Odadijian and the Drummer: John Dolmayan).The group succeeded practicaly in all entire world, with a original style and polemic letters(like in songs "She is Like Heroine" or "Violent Pornography") but also letters that questioned you some concepts of our world today(for example "Question!" and "Dreaming").

Serj migrated to USA when he was 5 years old because of money problems with his family. In the school, he met his frien Daron Malakian. With him, he forms the group "Soil" with another childhood friend, but this friend suicide a few months later. 3 years later, Daron and Serj met the other componemts of System of a Down(SOAD) and form the grop. In their first disc, Serj called one of the songs "Soil" in honor to his suicide friend.

SOAD took 5 great disc: SOAD(1998), Toxicity(2001), Steal this Album!(2002), Hypnotize(2005) and Mezmerize(2005), caracterized all of them for a incredible stylesheet and a perfect harmony between all the instruments of the band.

With the time, Serj and Daron falled out between their and broke the band in 2006. Consequentelly, Serj public a disc like solist: "Elect the Dead"(2007) but he do not lost his particular syle to see the music: some polemic letters(like "empty walls") and others that could take you to reflex and send an applause to Serj ("Saving us" is a great example). In september, he will put in sale his second solo album "Imperfect Harmonies" wich will mix jazz, rock and orchestra.
Some rumors said that the group of SOAD could be reunite soon, but his second solo album confirm that the return of SOAD should be wait a little time more. Personally, I will be glad if the group will reunite soon, but I must recognize that Serj is a Genius even he work alone

Nothing more people, I will put you here a video of SOAD and a video of his solo album "Elect The dead" to check by yourselves if is best alone or in group. See you soon, guys!
