Elasticity’s original concept started out as a possible album with his longtime bandmates. “When I conceived possibly doing another record with the guys from System of a Down a few years back, I started working on a set of songs that I arranged in rock format for that purpose,” said Serj Tankian. “As we weren’t able to see eye to eye on the vision going forward with an SOAD album, I decided to release these songs under my moniker.”

Tracks on the EP are as follows: 1. “Elasticity” 2. “Your Mom” 3. “Rumi” 4. “How Many Times?” and 5. “Electric Yerevan.”

Pre-orders, a limited-edition indie retail purple vinyl variant and a galaxy vinyl web exclusive, as well as other Elasticity merch is now available.

Although System of A Down has not released an album since 2005’s Hypnotize, they released the singles “Protect the Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz.”
