Il grande ritorno dei System Of A Down

I System Of A Down tornano dopo quindici anni con due brani, “Protect the Land” e “Genocidal Humanoidz”

Un’attesa che sembrava infinita. Sono trascorsi quindici lunghi anni dall’ultima pubblicazione dei System Of A Down, ma finalmente la band armena è tornata. Sono infatti usciti in streaming, sulle principali piattaforme e sul bandcamp della band, due nuovi brani “Protect the Land” e “Genocidal Humanoidz”, che affrontano un tema molto caro e sentito da Serj Tankian e compagni, ossia la guerra che si sta compiendo in Artsakh, perpetrata dal regime di Azerbaigian e Turchia.

Il ricavato delle vendite delle nuove tracce e del nuovo merchandising, sarà interamente devoluto all’organizzazione Armenia Fund, che aiuta le persone duramente colpite dalla guerra.

Il motivo della pubblicazione dei due brani lo ha spiegato Serj Tankian su Instagram, sottolineando che sono tornati perchè hanno qualcosa di importante da dire e descrivendo come terribile e inaccettabile quello che sta accadendo  in Artsakh e Armenia, loro terra d’origine. Lo stesso Tankian chiede a gran voce di aiutare la causa parlandone.

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
