System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has revealed that he's in the throes of a solo album, which he hopes to release at some point in 2007. System Of A Down announced that the last time fans will see the band for a long while is on the 2006 Ozzfest tour, which closed this weekend.
Tankian said he's looking forward to his solo album, which he had been working on for a while.

Serj Tankian Describes Solo Album
"It's hard to really explain, but I've done a lot of songs. I have a lot of songs for it already, and I'm... It's going to be rock, mostly rock, and different -- different than System, but I think it will have a lot of the truth telling that System has, and potency that it has, represented in a different way. That's really all I can say."
Tankian added that the album will be very different than his experimental and improvisational Serart project.

"Serart was a collaboration that I did with Arto Tuncboyaciyan, and that was more of an improvisational record. We did the whole record in seven days, just walk in and do a whole record from scratch. And that was really fun. That would be more something to use for films or world music type of sphere. This would be more rock."
Tankian will also be busy supporting Bad Acid Trip, Slow Motion Reign, and his new signing Fair To Midland, which are all signed to his Serjical Strike label.
