System of a Down have announced a livestream fundraising event, which will take place on January 30th to benefit wounded soldiers of the Defense Army of Artsakh and Armenia. The livestream will also include the premiere of the music video for their recent single “Genocidal Humanoidz,” one of two new System of a Down songs released in November. That track, along with “Protect the Land,” marked the band’s first new music in 15 years; and were recorded and released to raise money for the Armenia Fund, after Armenia and its neighboring state of Artsakh suffered war crimes at the hands of Azerbaijan and Turkey. Within a week, the songs helped raise more than $600,000 for the cause.The event itself will be free to watch on the band’s YouTube channel, with the opportunity to make donations throughout the stream. It begins at 9:00 am PT / noon ET on January 30th, with the “Genocidal Humanoidz” music video premiering two hours later at 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ET.
