Tankian Unveils 'Figure It Out'

World renowned musician, Serj Tankian, has formally released the video for his new single "Figure It Out".  Watch the full video for "Figure It Out" here:

The song will feature on his third solo album, "Harakiri", a concept album about the ritual suicide of animals in response to mankind's impact on the environment.

"The record is different than any I've made as a solo artist," he said (via Blabbermouth). "It is much more driving and punk-oriented, with influences ranging from goth to electronic to '80s vibes, dynamically heavy rock to epic melodic songs. Lyrically, it spans the gauntlet of themes from personal, political and philosophical to spiritual, humor and love."

Tankian says this album was motivated by reports of birds and fish dying in massive numbers globally. "Varied creatures on earth were committing massive hara-kiri," he said. "Do they know something we don't about the coming times or the sustainability of the environment? That is the day I started writing this record."

According to many online publications, some of the new album was written on an Apple iPad, to help stir up his creative process.
