All through the monitor, TANKIAN scrutinizes the divides inside humanity (“You see me with out feelings / I see you throughout the oceans,” he intones) earlier than finally declaring our oneness: “California to Argentina…Saudi Arabia to Tunisia…Armenia to Australia…Israel to Indonesia / They’re us and we’re them.”

Lastly, “Life’s Revengeful Son,” initially recorded previous to TANKIAN’s 2010 Imperfect Harmonies album, incorporates quite a lot of instrumentation, together with acoustic and electrical guitars and dramatic orchestration, into an epic nearer with unmatched imagery: “The ultimate revolution will happen when the arms of the clock fall,” TANKIAN sings. “Jesus seen within the streets, dragging a automotive axel as an alternative of the cross.”A real artistic tour de power, TANKIAN recorded FOUNDATIONS primarily at his personal Serjical Strike Studios in L.A. He wrote, carried out, orchestrated and produced all the fabric, in addition to contributed the paintings – an authentic piece titled “Sunburst” – that adorns the album cowl. Extra instrumentation on the file was supplied by Dan Monti (guitars, bass and drum programming) and, on “Cartoon Purchaser,” by bassist Mario Pagliarulo, and SOAD drummer John Dolmayan.

FOUNDATIONS, TANKIAN says is, “A retrospective of songs from totally different eras of my life, meant to enrich the memoir,” and caps what has been an extremely prolific 12 months for TANKIAN, from the discharge of his memoir the New York Instances bestseller Down with the System, to the large, sold-out System of a Down headlining present at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco with over 50,000 followers. However whilst he’s now revealing his “foundations,” TANKIAN is already trying forward. “The subsequent file will doubtless be a file of covers, collaborations and collages,” he envisions.
