Rock band System of a Down have premiered their new video for 'Genocidal Humanoidz' following a charity livestream to provide humanitarian aid to Armenians affected by conflict.

The long-term struggle in the country is over the disputed area known as Nagorno-Karabakh.

A mix of live performance and animation, the visual features System of the Down playing their first new song in 15 years amid animated imagery of war-torn townspeople banding together to fight off the demons that have invaded.

The video was directed by Shavo Odadjian and Deep Sky Animation’s Adam Mason, airing at the end of a livestream which fundraised for non-profits Armenia Fund and Armenia Wounded Heroes Fund.

Ahead of Saturday’s event, System of a Down had already raised $600,000 in aid for the people of Artsakh - a group that was under siege by Azerbaijan until a December peace treaty.

Money raised by System of a Down from the livestream will help provide prosthetic limbs to soldiers who lost limbs as a result of the conflict and laser therapy for people burned by chemical weapons.

SOAD frontman Serj Tankian's activism and his role in the 2018 Armenian Revolution will also be the focus of a new documentary titled Truth to Power, it was recently announced.

Produced by Live Nation and directed by Garin Hovannisian, Truth to Power is due out via Oscilloscope Laboratories on February 19, 2021.
