Serj Tankian Becomes A New Zealand Citizen
Posted by ZAk on Friday, August 03, 2007 - 09:08 PM

System of a Down rocker Serj Tankian has become a New Zealand citizen, after falling in love with the country.

The Lebanon-born heavy-metaler has been based in the U.S., but fell in love with New Zealand after traveling there to relax after recording his new solo album - and he has stayed put.

He explains, "After recording the album I withdrew and took off there for three months, which I had to do to gain citizenship.

"I'm such a crazy workaholic that it was hard stepping away from my work in LA, but it was great because it allowed me to reflect. It made me think, 'Wow man, I have this amazing life.'"

Serj Tankian has set October 23rd as a date to release his solo album "Elect The Dead". The first single "Unthinking Majority" will be digitally released on August 7th followed by another single , 'Empty Walls', to be released on October 15.

Not he'll get his studio. And he might even record there, inspired by the landscapes and stuff..

A new Kiwi on the block! Sweet!

Glad to hear that he was finally able to get his citizenship. I know he'd been trying to acquire property there for some time now and was able to do that, as well.

Congrats, Serj :D
