Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music to Cure Cancer explained

Electronic Saviors is a series of cancer charity[1] industrial music compilations of exclusive tracks and mixes compiled by Jim Semonik of Rein[Forced], mastered by Chase Dudley and Wade Allin, and released through Distortion Productions and Metropolis Records. It is heavily promoted through various shows,[2] [3] [4] through radio airplay,[5] podcasts,[6] [7] and via trailers.[8] As of 2019, the collections had raised more than $70,000 for various cancer related charities,[9] and had received an award from the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS).[10]

According to Semonik, Electronic Saviors was inspired by There Is No Time, a compilation of the industrial music scene released by Ras Dva in 1995.[11]

In 2017 the first spin-off album was released[12] and in 2018 the first music video of an Electronic Saviors track debuted on Regen Magazine's website.[13]

The sixth and purportedly final entry in the series was released on June 12, 2020.[14]
