Billion Drops Debut Album Welcome to Chernobyl: Part I on the 40th Anniversary of the World’s Worst Nuclear Disaster

On April 24, 2026, Chicago-based electronic music artist Billion released debut concept album Welcome to Chernobyl: Part I, timed to the 40th anniversary of the nuclear disaster on April 25.
An independent Chernobyl historian, Billion spent more than 15 years studying the 1986 catastrophe, driven to expose hidden truths and the human cost the world was never meant to know.
Each track serves as a sonic monument to the liquidators, evacuees, and 600,000 people never told what they were walking into, with music historically rooted and designed to immerse listeners in the catastrophe.
A minimum of 10% of all proceeds supports Ukrainian refugee assistance, split between 501 charities Razom for Ukraine and Sweet Dome Chicago Foundation, both aiding those displaced by the ongoing war.
The album is available on all major streaming platforms, while companion historical documents at the artist's website offer listeners deeper narratives behind each track and the disaster's full history.
