Fack, let’s figure it out! Steve brings in SYSTEM OF DOWN vocalist SERJ TANKIAN’S 2012 solo album HARAKIRI, an album that has unfortunately aged very well lyrically with themes of environmentalism and modern geopolitical conflicts

Harakiri is the third studio album by System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian. It was released on July 10, 2012.
Tankian has described the album as "the most up-tempo punk rock oriented record that I've written probably since the System days." In the same interview, he also confirmed that a 2013 world tour would likely follow in support of the album.[3]

Hara-kiri, also known as seppuku, is a term for the ritual 'honour' suicide of Japanese samurai, with the former term being more common in speech and the latter being more literary, upper-class, and formal. The act involves self-disembowelment with a tantō (a Japanese-style dagger originating in the Heian period), slicing the abdomen from left to right. The album explores ideas of animal suicide.
