🔗🖤 Electronic Saviors Series Resurrected: 98 New Tracks to Wage War on Cancer! 🎧💀

After a five-year silence, the legendary Electronic Saviors compilation series has returned with a thunderous new volume, a testament to the enduring spirit of the electronic music community and their unwavering commitment to a vital cause. This isn’t just a revival; it’s a rebirth, a colossal undertaking featuring a staggering 98 brand new tracks, each a unique creation forged exclusively for this monumental collection. Once again, the formidable alliance of Metropolis Records and Distortion Productions has united to deliver an absolute behemoth of music, all in the name of conquering cancer.

Prepare to be overwhelmed by the sheer artistic power on display. The contributing artists have truly outdone themselves, crafting some of the most epic and compelling work of their careers. This new volume boasts exclusive tracks from a who’s who of the industrial and electronic music landscape, including the likes of 16Volt, Acumen Nation, Die Sektor, blackcarburning, Metamorph Feat Stabbing Westward, Negative Format, Out Out, Lead Into Gold, Interface, Xenturion Prime, Ego Likeness, Marc Heal, Red Lokust, Amulet, genCAB, NOIR, Panic Lift, I:Scintilla, Sapphira Vee, Inertia, Hexedene, and a legion of other sonic innovators. Every beat, every synth line, every vocal utterance on this compilation is a new weapon in the fight against this relentless disease.

The driving force behind this extraordinary endeavor, cancer survivor and organizer Jim Semonik, reflects on this unexpected return: “It’s not something I’d ever thought would happen again. I’m lucky. Not only in the sense that I get to be here after surviving for 17 years post-cancer, but that I get to work with my heroes and share the fruits of their labor with the world. It’s really quite something and the fact that we are working with Young Adult Survivors United is an absolute thrill for me. With 7 ES volumes, 3 spinoffs, 2 sponsored comps, 117k donated and over 500 bands and artists involved worldwide, I can only see this growing further! We’re back!” Semonik’s passionate dedication and the overwhelming generosity of the participating artists underscore the profound impact of this series.

For those who crave a tangible artifact of this sonic crusade, CD boxsets are available in both a four-disc Regular Edition and a six-disc (plus 7”) Premium Edition, the latter brimming with additional merchandise. The Regular Edition can be exclusively acquired via distortionprod.com and at select festivals: Dark Force Fest, Mechanismus, and Coldwaves. For those in the digital realm, the entire 98-track arsenal is available via Bandcamp.

The “Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music To Cure Cancer” series first emerged in 2010, born from Jim Semonik’s own personal battle with the disease. Volumes 2 through 6 followed, each featuring a wealth of exclusive tracks from prominent figures across the industrial, EBM, synth-pop, and electronic music scenes. This new volume marks a powerful resurgence, a united front of artists wielding their sonic creations as instruments of hope and progress in the ongoing fight against cancer.
