System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian has been at work on a number of new projects as of late.

In addition to his new album Harakiri, out July 10th through Serjical Strike/Reprise, Tankian has been busy with Fuktronic, Orca, and Jazziz Christ.

Fuktronic is a collaboration with Mindless Self Indulgence’s Jimmy Urine. The forthcoming electronic album will feature 12 tracks “that portrays the trials and tribulations of a fresh out of prison British gangster who hasn’t learned his lesson.”

Orca is a project written over the past few years utilizing non-traditional approaches to classical music.

Lastly, Jazz-Iz-Christ infuses elements of traditional jazz and electronic music.

While release details have yet to be announced, songs previewing each aforementioned project can be heard below.
