Serj Tankiansinger of system of a Down has said in a recent interview with Expert Magazine, who for now is fed up with singing (and writing lyrics for songs), so he will concentrate on his instrumental works.
In the last times, Tankian ha estado envuelto en la producción de bandas sonoras cinematográficas, como las hechas para las películas ‘Try to Destroy‘ o ‘Furious – Legend of Kolovrat‘.
“A la mierda el canto. Estoy cansado de eso. Durante una conversación con un amigo, me vino una idea a la cabeza; antes de comenzar a hacer música, principalmente me conocían como poeta y vocalista.
I wrote poetry every day. I did it so consistently, that it allowed me to release two poetry books. In fact, I came to music through words.
I wrote so many song lyrics that it stopped being interesting. Not because there is nothing you want to talk or sing about. Sure there are topics I don't want to write about, but at least I can get some new emotions out of it.
La poesía es algo que te ayuda a abrirte y te ayuda a tu propia determinación. Es algo que hice ya por mucho tiempo y ahora estoy más interesado en crear piezas instrumentales…”
Han pasado ya 12 años desde el lanzamiento de ‘Hypnotize‘, el más reciente álbum de system of a Down and although supposedly there would be progress for a new album, the statements of Tankian They don't give much room for hope that fans of the band will be able to hear something soon.
