Lebanese label System Rival Recordings has announced a compilation in efforts to raise money for refugees in Greece.

The compilation marks the fourth charity release from the Lebanon-based label, who have previously released three more works over the past year to help those in need. Following the explosion in Beirut just under a year ago, the label release ‘System Revival: For Beirut, The End of Corruption’ in support of those affected.

“We put together this compilation as a fundraiser for the people of Beirut. 100% of proceeds will go directly to relief, and support organisations on the ground in Beirut,” reads the Bandcamp description of the charity compilation.

A second release followed shortly after for the same cause, with a third in support of the World Food Programme's 'Zero Hunger' initiative. The new compilation releasing tomorrow will supply mostly art materials and musical instruments to the organisation 'Wave of Hope for the Future’.
