Less than two weeks after the release of his new solo album Harakiri, Serj Tankian has announced plans for a solo world tour. Fans already got a glimpse of Serj in action with his band The FCC on Jimmy Kimmel Live! a week ago, while many will likely see him again during System of a Down’s tour with the Deftones in August. This trek, though, will bring Tankian across the West Coast of North America and Europe, with the final show taking place in Berlin, Germany late October.
But there’s more! The music video for the song “Uneducated Democracy” has just been released on Alternative Press today and can be viewed here. The video somehow manages to combine clay characters, skyscrapers, and the famous expressionist painting “The Scream” by Edvard Munch, which only recently, um… (dis)appeared in a video featuring The Darkness.
