System Of A Down has released two new songs for the first time in 15 years, dedicating them to the dire and serious war perpetrated upon Artsakh and Armenia.

“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. We’re proud to share these songs with you and hope you enjoy listening to them,” SOAD said in a statement on Friday.

The band reminds that on September 27, the combined forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey, along with Isis terrorists from Syria, attacked Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh, adding for over the past month, civilians “have been awakened day and night by the frightful sights and sounds of rocket attacks, falling bombs, missiles, drones and terrorist attacks.”

"We’re proud to share these songs with you and hope you enjoy listening to them. Further, we encourage you to read on to learn more about their origins and once you do, hope you are inspired to speak out about the horrific injustices and human rights violations occurring there now. Most importantly and urgently, we humbly implore you to donate, in sums small or large to help those adversely affected with what are ever growing accounts of crimes against humanity.

“In turn, you will receive downloads of these two new songs and the feeling that you’re truly making a difference. These funds will be used to provide crucial and desperately needed aid and basic supplies for those affected by these hideous acts,” the statement said.

“The music and lyrics speak for themselves. We need you to speak for Artsakh,” SOAD stated.
