System Of A Down have returned to release their first new music in 15 years in order to raise awareness and funds for what they describe as, ‘a dire and serious war being perpetrated upon cultural homelands’.
Protect The Land and Genocidal Humanoidz were written by guitarist Daron Malakian, speaking for all his band who share Armenian heritage. Proceeds will go towards the Armenia Fund.
“I wanted to show the unification of our people around the world for one common cause, illustrating the power in numbers,” bass player Shavo Odadjian, who co-directed Protect The Land’s video, has said. “So we brought together people from all ages and professions who believe in and are fighting for that same cause.”
“It’s one thing to come up with an idea, but to see it come alive as happened with this video, has been just incredible.”
