Serj Tankian's first full feature length film score the 1915 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is set for release on April 22, 2016. The film '1915' was originally released theatrically in April of 2015. This soundtrack is being released around not only the anniversary of the film's initial release, but also the anniversary of annual commemoration and recognition of the film's subject matter; The Armenian Genocide that occurred during WWI. In an article with the Asbarez newspaper, Serj was quoted, “I think '1915' is a really interesting, unique drama that deals with a unique topic that hasn’t been dealt with in films. For me the film deals with the Diasporan effect of trauma of loss. There’s no film that’s dealt with that. Maybe it’s personal, but the message of loss the pain of loss is very universal. ‘1915’ does that in a very artistic way.”
