Get Ready for an Exciting Adventure! | Introducing X-RL7’s Musical Cyberpunk Series

In the world of modern animation, there’s no shortage of ambition and innovation. One project that has risen to the top of the crowd is the music-driven Retro-Gaming inspired web-series X-RL7. 

The web-series follows the fictional band of the same name as they attempt to make it in the music industry. With its quality animation, electronic rock-inspired soundscapes, and guest appearances from real-world musicians, X-RL7 is proving to be a hit in the online and electronic music scenes. X-RL7 showcases its stylistic range with a host of real-world musician guests, ranging from Monuments’ Andy Cizek, to Daniel Graves of Aesthetic Perfection, to Linkin Park’s Blue Stahli, Mindless Self Indulgence’s Jimmy Urine and former Chiodos/DRUGS frontman Craig Owens. 

The music is just as varied, as the show takes obvious sonic cues from classic and contemporary electronic-rock acts like Celldweller, Nine Inch Nails and Linkin Park. This diverse range of musicians and musical influences make each new episode unlike any other, and it’s this variety that has skyrocketed the show to success, garnering nearly 14, 000 monthly listeners on Spotify and positive critical reception from outlets like Metal Injection, ReGen Magazine, and the WH Times. X-RL7 creator and musician Mike Evans is thrilled with the current success of the show. “It’s an incredible experience to work with so many amazing musicians and have it be as successful as it is. The reaction to the series has been amazing and humbling.” 

The series also uses the backdrop of a cyberpunk world to address more current themes, such as the effects of social media, fabricated celebrity personas, and the battle between censorship and free speech. If you’re looking for a great way to spend an afternoon, dive into the world of X-RL7. With a growing catalogue of episodes, it’s the perfect introduction to retro gaming animation and modern electronic-rock music. Back episodes are available on the show’s YouTube channel and new episodes and bonus content are released regularly. Tune in and experience X-RL7 today!
