Serj Tankian has released the music video for his new track Electric Yerevan, taken from his new solo EP Elasticity that's out today. 

The five-song EP is the SYSTEM OF A DOWN frontman's fist solo material since 2013's Orca.

The video for Electric Yerevan was directed by Garin Hovannisian, and provides a visual timeline of the events leading up to the Electric Yerevan protests in 2015 and the ensuing Velvet Revolution in 2018, while showcasing the power of peaceful demonstrations around the world. 
 
Tankian says of the track: “The song was inspired by the successful Electric Yerevan protests in Armenia in the summer of 2015 where people protested against proposed hikes in utility prices. My writing from that time is inscribed word for word in the song.”
