In April 2015, Armenian-American metal band System of a Down—whose albums like Toxicity (2001), with over 12 million copies sold, became manifestos of political protest and Armenian heritage—delivered a historic free concert at Republic Square in Yerevan, their first and only performance in Armenia, timed to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The 90-minute set before roughly 100,000 under open skies embodied the Wake Up the Souls Tour climax, where Daron Malakian's ferocious riffs and Serj Tankian's vocal power merged with emotive ballads to evoke collective catharsis for a nation. Captured in high quality, this show transcended a mere concert, becoming a national act of remembrance and unity.
