Iznenađujućim potezom armensko-američki heavy metalci System Of A Down objavili su novi materijal po prvi put u posljednjih 15 godina.

Unatoč velikom priznanju i uspjesima kao štu su osvojeni Grammy i 3 od 5 njihovih albuma na prvom mjestu Billboardovih 200, System Of A Down nisu aktivni od 2006. godine.

“Vjerojatno smo jedini rock sastav kojima su vlasti neprijatelji; napisao sam ove pjesme da bih ojačao moral naših vojnih postrojbi i Armenaca širom svijeta”, izjavio je je vokal i gitarist Daron Malakian.

Dvije nove pjesme “Protect the Land” i “Genocidal Humanoidz” skreću pozornost na nemire u Artsakhu i Armeniji. U službenoj izjavi benda stoji da su ponosni što mogu sa svojom publikom podijeliti dvije nove pjesme te da se nadaju kako će ih to potaknuti na daljnje istraživanje te teme kako bi svi mogli izraziti stav o velikoj nepravdi i povredi ljudskih prava koje se trenutno događaju.

We as System Of A Down have just released new music for the first time in 15 years. The time to do this is now, as together, the four of us have something extremely important to say as a unified voice. These two songs, “Protect The Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz,” both speak of a dire and serious war being perpetrated upon our cultural homelands of Artsakh and Armenia. The current corrupt regimes of Aliyev in Azerbaijan and Erdogan in Turkey not only want to claim Artsakh and Armenia as their own, but are committing genocidal acts with impunity on humanity and wildlife to achieve their mission. They are banking on the world being too distracted with COVID, elections and civil unrest to call out their atrocities. They have the bankroll, the resources and have recruited massive public relations firms to spin the truth and conceal their barbaric objective of genocide. Between these two dictatorships, there’s a lot of disinformation and silencing of voices within their own countries. Freedom of speech is not something that is enjoyed by everyone, but it is enjoyed here, so part of that responsibility is getting the truth out there whenever possible. We’re here to protect our land, to protect our culture, and to protect our nation. This is not the time to turn a blind eye. As SOAD, this has been an incredible occasion to put everything aside and speak out for our nation, as one, as four Armenian guys. “Protect The Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz” are now available for purchase on our official Bandcamp page, where band proceeds go toward the @ArmeniaFund. The funds from Bandcamp + pre-orders of our new merch collection will be used to provide crucial, desperately needed aid and basic supplies for those affected by these hideous acts. Please consider the opportunity to download these songs as an act of charity irrespective of how you choose to listen to them today, tomorrow and for years to come. The music and lyrics speak for themselves. We need you to speak for Artsakh. Links in bio to download, pre-order, and donate now. #RecognizeArtsakh #ArmeniaFund #ArtsakhStrong #ProtectTheLand #GenocidalHumanoidz

Serj Tankian nadodao je da “svi shvaćaju da je ovo egzistencijalna bitka” te da je “potrebno da svijet makne politiku sa strane i podrži Armeniju sankcioniranjem Turske i Azerbejdžana i priznavanjem Artsakha”.

Kako bi se pružila sva potrebna pomoć svima pogođenima ratom koji se vodi u Artsakhu i Armeniji, System Of A Down obvezao se da će sav profit zarađen prodajom njihovih najnovijih pjesama (svaka dostupna uz minimalnu predloženu donaciju od 1 USD) biti doniran dobrotvornoj organizaciji Armenia Fund koja pomaže potrebitima.
