New interview with Ken Magerman! Thank you @soundsandshadows 🖤 . "This interview with Jim Semonik was a long time coming, it is also a LONG one but it needed to be. We cover a lot here including talking about every single band on the new Electronic Saviors. Start out with a shout out to DogTablet. Discuss what label samplers have meant to our scene. What it is like being one guy running a record label. The glory of taking jagged pieces of rusty metal recording them and putting them through effects. our first meeting at an Adoration Destroyed show. How Grunge changed us. What it is like to be an artist in your own right, but be known for the label and ES first. We start nerding out about comic books. We talk about the idea of the 4th turning and how it inspired a Red Lokust track. How a panel at Mechanisms inspired Electronic Saviors volume 7. The story of Electronic Saviors. We go through every artist on the compilation. This interview was an emotional journey. This compilation one of the most important things to happen in the Industrial Music scene this decade. I hope you watch/share/and find 5 new bands you love while supporting research to Cure Cancer." - @kenmagerman . #distortionproductions #electronicsaviors #es7 #industrialmusictocurecancer #industrialmusic #postpunk #ebm #darkwave #synthwave #distortionproductions #soundsandshadows

Acumen Nation’s legendary 1995 album Transmissions From Eville will be heading to the vinyl presses this fall as part of a new initiative by Distortion Productions and Cracknation Records. 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of an album that helped kickstart the mid 90’s Coldwave movement in the U.S. industrial music scene. Transmissions was originally released in 1995 on the Fifth Colvmn label and later re released in 1998 on Conscience Records. The single “Gun Lover” went on to be a staple on many DJs playlists around the country and catapulted Acumen into the spotlight. With heavy guitars embedded in the lush electronic structure of Acumen’s songs, Transmissions became a must have album for any fan of industrial music. Label owner, Jim Semonik remarks “You have no idea how much it means to me to release this on Distortion. It’s one of my all time favorites, second only to Acumen’s second record, Territory=Universe. I’m very lucky and grateful to have known Jason Novak for 20 plus years and I can’t wait to share this record with a new audience and long time friends and fans. This is a big fucking deal." @jimsemonik @cracknovak @distortionproductions #jasonnovak #cracknation #acumennation #transmissionsfromeville #fifthcolvmn #consciencerecords #vinyl #coldwave #industrialmusic #electronicmusic
