SYSTEM OF A DOWN frontman Serj Tankian has unveiled the official music video for his latest solo single, “Justice Will Shine On.” The song is part of his forthcoming solo EP, Foundations, set to be released on September 27 through Gibson Records.
He told Metal Hammer about the EP: “It’s five songs. We just shot five videos for it with members of the FCC, my back-up band, which was really fun, and we’re going to put it out in September.”
“The reason I’m putting it out is that archival nature of writing a book made me look into songs from different periods of time. So one of the songs is from early SYSTEM days, for example, that I’ve never put out, that I’d never worked with SYSTEM on. A couple of the songs are from my early 2007-2008 solo record period, but didn’t fit the record [‘Elect The Dead’, released in October 2007].
“It’s an interesting retrospective of rock music that I’ve never released from different times, and it’s called ‘Foundations’ basically because it’s the founding of my musical life,” Tankian added. “They’re very interesting songs, very different from each other: one is really heavy, one is like, really progressive, there’s just different elements to each of them. But I think they work in tandem.”
