This is the first time that the band has played in its ethnic homeland and, to make the experience even more memorable, the show was free! SOAD played a set lasting almost two and a half hours in Yerevan's Republic Square, which was simultaneously streamed live on YouTube. This show also concluded the band's Wake Up The Souls tour, the objective of which was to spread more awareness about the Armenian Genocide on it's 100th anniversary. Hopefully this tour and final performance resonated with the world's governments as much as it did with the Armenian populace and some more leaders will start recognizing the atrocities that occurred 100 years ago.

What are you listening to tonight?
