is an
American Record Label , owned by
Universal Music Group , and operates under the
Universal Republic Records Group .
Serjical Strike was founded in April
2001 by
Serj Tankian (lead singer of
System Of A Down ), and has cast away the restrictions of large scale record labels to create a 'unique and imaginative' label that provides a large spectrum of musical talent. In the previous five years Serj and the team have signed various bands of differing styles;
Bad Acid Trip ,
Kittens For Christian ,
Slow Motion Reign , and
Fair To Midland , and at the same time a good relationship with Columbia records has been built up. Serj also works with Arto Tuncboyaciyan to promote his own side band
Serart out of Serjical Strike. The
Axis Of Justice live album/DVD
Concert Series Volume 1 and the
Buckethead & Friends ' 2005 release "
Enter The Chicken " were under the Serjical Strike label.
Serj Tankian 's own up-coming debut solo album
Elect The Dead will also be on Serjical Strike Records in addition to
Reprise Records .
With each release, the goal of our label is to create an oasis of diversity and uniqueness within the industry where fans of all music can find sanctuary and solace from the drab, carbon-copy musical plagues that sweep through commercial culture. With the ever-evolving consciousness of today's music fan, we hope to be an amoebic representation of the myriad of bands and musical styles that one person can enjoy. With each new band we sign, we hope that it becomes harder and harder to describe Serjical Strike Records as being anything other than an 'Arts Label'.
