Serj Tankian Debuts "Harakiri" Music Video
Related Content
System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian has just released the official music video for the title track off his new album, Harakiri (buy on iTunes). Check it out below.
In recent interview, Tankian has stated that the song "Harakiri" was inspired by the seemingly unprovoked mass animal deaths that were so widely reported in early 2011.
"There was something ominous about the whole thing and it really, really strongly affected me," Tankian told Guitar World, "more than anything else that was going on, enough to make me go, OK, this is a huge fucking sign but I don't know what it means. But it was a huge sign, and to try and decipher what it could mean — psychologically, spiritually — and asking these major questions."

Great video; I'll have to listen again on a decent sound system after I get home this evening. But, the questions he raises are among the most important of this and future generations. Obviously, humans are overpopulating the planet, stripping it of natural resources in mostly non-sustainable ways and putting their heads in the sand by going to the mall to forget about it. It's a shame, but perhaps humans are, as a group, incapable of making the sacrafices needed to survive.
