Can... You... See... Us
Beating the devil
We never run from the devil

They released this track and one other in response to the Nagorno-Karabakh last year. According to the band, both tracks "speak of a dire and serious war being perpetrated upon our cultural homelands of Artsakh and Armenia."

Currently they are being released as non-album singles to raise money for the Aid For Artsakh Campaign.
