17 June 2022

System Of A Down voice and face SERJ TANKIAN and his acclaimed Armenian compatriot SEVAK AMROYAN teamed up for a monument of a song titled AMBER pronounced
‘ahm-be’r’ (Armenian), meaning ‘clouds’ in English.

Tankian: “I wrote the song after visiting my home country to serve as an election monitor as a member of the group, Justice for Armenia. The lyrics were initially inspired by slick theft of the elections before er reaching the ballot box.”

The accompanying video is directed by Hrag Yedalian, with Tankian and Amroyan standing still like they’re are opera singers. Meanwhile, a young boy flips through a sketchbook with handwritten phrases and illustrations that refer back to the song’s lyrics.

It’s not that the clip is spectacular as such, but the vocal
performance sends shivers down your spine.

Overwhelming…
