Armenian-American nu metal legends have just released a new video titled Genocidal Humanoids. The video was directed by SOAD’s bass player Shavo Odadjijan and Adam Mason. The band started a fundraising campaign to help the Armenian victims affected by the recent war between Artsakh and Azerbaijan. The video had a premiere on YouTube livestream which featured a podcast with Serj Tankian, Shavo Odadjijan and John Dolmayan.

The podcast starts with a message:

In the tragic aftermath of the most egregious violence to affect the area since 1994, soldiers for the defense army of Artsakh and Armenia (many of them volounteers) suffered war crimes at the hands of the invaders – Azerbaijan abetted by Turkey and their Syrian mercenaries. These young men, wounded in the conflict, remain in dire need of prosthetics, advanced treatment, and medical care. We are hosting this live event in order to raise money to rehablitate and outfit the hundreds of soldiers who have lost arms and legs with life-changing prosthetic limbs. All proceeds from this fundraiser will be donated to rehabilitation efforts for these soldiers in need. For a chance to win a signed autograph, send donation confirmations to soadfundraiser@gmail.com

The band issued a statement via their official YouTube page:

“Welcome to our livestream fundraising event for wounded Armenian soldiers. We will be joined by a list of special guests with artist appearances, where we will discuss the cause, our music, and the making of the “Genocidal Humanoidz” official video. Watch the video now at https://soad.lnk.to/GHVideo. Behind the cause: In the tragic aftermath of the most egregious violence to affect the area since 1994, soldiers for the Defense Army of Artsakh and Armenia (many of them volunteers) suffered war crimes at the hands of the invaders - Azerbaijan abetted by Turkey and their Syrian mercenaries. Even after the ceasefire signed on November 10, 2020, those heroes wounded in the recent conflict remain in dire need of prosthetics, advanced treatment, and medical care. We are hosting this fundraising livestream event today in order to raise money to rehabilitate and outfit the hundreds of soldiers who have lost arms and legs with life-changing prosthetic limbs. The funding will also benefit the introduction of groundbreaking laser therapy for the treatment of white phosphorous chemical burns and the reduction of scarring and agonizing pain. All proceeds from this livestream will be donated to rehabilitation efforts. If your country does not allow you to donate to Armenia Fund within YouTube during our livestream, please visit https://armeniafund.ejoinme.org/donate to place your donation directly with the organization, and be sure to note “SOAD Fundraiser” in the “Special Occasion” field on the donation form. This will ensure that your donation is earmarked for this special cause. As a sincere thank you for generous donation(s) of $75 or more, we would like to gift you a limited edition, numbered or signed System Of A Down lithograph. In order to receive your personal copy, please email your donation confirmations to SOADfundraiser@gmail.com. $75+ donations will receive a physical copy of this limited edition, numbered lithograph, and $200+ donations will receive this same lithograph signed by all four members of the band. Thank you all so much for joining us today. Without your support, this would not be possible.”

The band had also released a video for the song Protect the Land. Sadly the possibility of a new System of a Down album is uncertain.
