We here at Electronic Saviors are completely ecstatic to report that the donations from the success of Electronic Saviors Vol. 6 are the biggest in ES history. Donations of $5,000 were sent to Cap For Kids and Darkest Before Dawn with a donation of 10K to the colon and rectal cancer research team at Pitt University c/o Dr. David Medich. Additional Funds will also be sent to Young Adult Survivors United as well. Over the course of the 10 year existence of Electronic Saviors, we have donated to many different charities and individual GoFundMe accounts. Nearly 400 different artists from all over the world have come together over the years to make this happen.
Series creator, Sir Jim Semonik exclaims “I can’t believe we did it. 6 volumes, 3 spin offs, multiple tours and lots of blood, sweat and tears led to this. We are crossing 100K with these donations and I can only help that we made a difference.”
As this very difficult year ends, we think about those in need.
Electronic Saviors will continue to live on starting with next years Crow Tribute album entitled Draven’s Mixtape. It’s a covers project that pays homage to the 1994 movie and soundtrack. Similar in style to Respect the Prime: 1986 Revisited, Draven’s Mixtape will release this Summer. Other projects still in the works are the second volume of Synthcore Dreams and Respect the Prime: The Forged EP, a collection of original songs based on Transformers comics.
As a document for those curious about ES’ past donations, here is every donation and charity that we’ve given to over the years. Thank you everyone for your continued love and support of this project.
