Comrades,
Some of you were fortunate enough to have heard one of our new tracks, 'Right Beside You', which we performed opening for Leæther Strip this past July 10th at the Power Strip Festival in Philadelphia and have inquired when the track will be available.
A short while ago we had the honor of being asked by Pittsburgh musician, promoter, friend and cancer survivor Jim Semonik to contribute this track towards a compilation he was assembling dedicated to the fight against cancer: Electronic Saviors
The mastering is finally done and a release date of February 9th, 2010 on Metropolis Records has been announced!
Like
the city itself, Pittsburgh's dark-electronic music scene encompasses
both the clangor of the Industrial Revolution and the buzz-and-click of
the Information Age. A consistent mover in that cyber-punk community is Jim Semonik, who's put in a decade of both concert promotion (as Distortion Productions) and live performance, with electro-industrial band Rein[forced].
Semonik's dedication didn't waver during his bout with cancer last
year, and he's eager to give back to the medical wizards who saved his
life with an anthology called Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music to Cure Cancer. Saviors has become a monumental undertaking: a four-CD box-set plus a downloadable fifth album, due in February 2010 on goth-industrial juggernaut Metropolis Records.
The 80-plus artist lineup includes industrial/EBM legends Combichrist,
Chemlab, Suicide Commando, 16 Volt and Leather Strip, and a contingent
of local acts like Prometheus Burning and Semonik's
group. "It took 90 percent of my free time for the last eight months,"
Semonik recalls, "but it was well worth it considering the tracks I got
-- there's not one filler on the whole thing."
