During the hiatus of System Of A Down the members of the band found the time to work on their solo careers. The famous frontman Serj Tankian debuted as a solo musician with his highly anticipated record 'Elect The Dead'. The album gained critical and commercial success upon its release. Tankian played almost every instrument on the album, with the exception of drums and strings. A new lyrical vision is what he recorded, although musically it can be compared with the sound of System Of A Down. The record comes on 180 gram vinyl, contains an insert and etched D-side.
