Serj Tankian composes score for new video game

PanARMENIAN.Net - Serj Tankian, former frontman for the band System of a Down and more recently known for his solo efforts, has once again dipped his toe into the world of video games. Tankian is providing the soundtrack for Industrial Toys' upcoming mobile first-person shooter, “Morning Star”, cinemablend.com reported.

Not due out until sometime next spring for iOS, “Morning Star” comes from one of the minds behind the original “Halo” series, Alex Seropian, and Tim Harris. The duo tapped Tankian to create their upcoming game's musical score, a title that was built from the ground up to make first-person shooting a solid experience on the mobile platform.

“We've been big fans of Serj's for quite some time,” said Industrial Toys CEO Seropian. “We knew his score would be unique, but it's his ability to interpret a scene or gameplay element and come up with something that makes it moodier, more dramatic or just more awesome that's really got us pumped.”

Industrial Toys recently released a trailer featuring a brief taste of Tankian's work.
