Almost everyone today has been affected by cancer in some form or another. I personally have been affected, my father and my step-sister were both diagnosed with cancer and then became cancer survivors. It’s something that we deal with every day, young and old alike are both victims to this disease. There are tons of great organizations out there that are helping to raise money for cancer research and help put an end to cancer! One of my favorite record labels around, and one that I’ve been a fan of and a consumer of since 1992, is doing their part to help out as well. I present to you Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music to Cure Cancer coming to you via Metropolis Records on February 9th!
Rather than try and restate what has already been said, I’ll let the press release do the talking for me on this:
“Cancer has ruined the lives of countless people around the world. Rarely in the international goth/industrial scene does one hear about it. On May 1st, 2008, Jim Semonik, longtime promoter, DJ, and frontman for electro-industrial band Rein[Forced], was diagnosed with stage 2B colorectal cancer. During a rigorous campaign of chemotherapy and radiation, Semonik’s passion for this music did not waver. On June 28th, 2008, 16Volt’s “Denial Highway” Tour came through Pittsburgh courtesy of Jim. It was at this event that Semonik formulated the idea for a compilation that would not only be gargantuan in scale, but in quality as well. Jim asked 16Volt frontman, Eric Powell, to be a part of it. Eric didn’t hesitate and thus Electronic Saviors was born.”
Jim won this battle with cancer despite a few set backs and loosing a large portion of his digestive track. So now Electronic Saviors is finally here and it’s a great opportunity to give back and get something for it. There is some real winning tracks on here including a new Chemlab mix and exclusive tracks written for this compilation alone. Again I’ll let the press release do the real talking here.
“A grand total of 83 artists came together for this project, and it is with this that Jim wants to donate proceeds to the Center For Cancer Research and Wellness in Harrisburg, PA. Saviorsis a monumental 4 CD box-set, packaged nicely in DVD digi-pack format, featuring stunning artwork by Jeff Confer and a 12 page booklet including an essay from Jim and a drop card for a downloadable 5th CD. The content of the compilation covers the widest range of emotions that a cancer patient goes through. It ranges from melancholy moving songs (ThouShaltNot, Bow Ever Down, Encoder) to songs about the medical industry (SMP, Boole) to angry songs of loss (Suicide Commando, Rein[Forced], Acumen Nation) to pure anger and raging dance tracks (Nachtmahr, The Dark Clan, Terrorfakt, Vicious Alliance), as well as, down tempo, ambient and tranquil pieces (Burikusu!!!, The Atomica Project), comedic (The Gothsicles, Caustic) and songs of hope (Interface, SD6 and Assemblage 23).”
