Tankian, Serj
Invocations (2lp)
With a vocal range over four octaves, Serj Tankian is considered one of the greatest vocalists in hard rock history and best known for fronting the popular band System Of A Down. The songwriter, poet, painter, producer, and political activist performed his suite of compositions - 'Invocations' - at The Soraya, Los Angeles, together with the CSUN Symphony Orchestra, ethnic instrumentalists, choir, and a variety of vocalists including renowned tenor Brian Thorsett, world vocalist Azam Ali, metal vocalist Charles Elliott (Abysmal Dawn) and alto vocalist Francesca Genco. Spanning over a decade of his career from different sources and backgrounds, this is music that plays on the deepest heart strings of the listener at a tempo that sets the heart to rest and the spirit to wander. Sonically, Tankian's new work is symphonic, cinematic, and emotive. COmes on a 2LP set on 180 gram vinyl.
