International electro-industrial project Damage Control has partnered with Canadian duo OHMelectronic to release a collaborative three-track EP titled Red Lines. Released on September 11, 2026, via Metropolis Records, the EP marks another collaborative milestone for both acts.
Damage Control is led by a core quartet consisting of Bill Barsby, Richard Thacker, and Alex Wise, who are based in Australia, alongside Germany-based Markus App. For this release, they have collaborated with OHMelectronic, a project comprising Chris Peterson (known for his work with Unit:187, Front Line Assembly, Delerium, and Decree) and Craig Huxtable (Noise Unit, Landscape Body Machine).
Themes and Production Details
The EP contains three tracks: “Red Lines,” “Manifesto,” and “Modernity.” The lead single, “Manifesto,” was previously released in July. According to Huxtable, the title track explores geopolitical themes, psychological warfare, and global conflict, drawing lyric inspiration from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Production duties for the EP were handled by Peterson, who has collaborated with Damage Control since their 2017 debut album, Ultranoia. The recordings were mastered by long-time industry engineer Greg Reely, whose credits include work with Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, and Fear Factory.
The release of Red Lines follows Damage Control’s June 2026 EP, Master Of Silence, which featured collaborations with Danish musician Claus Larsen of Leæther Strip. The new EP is currently available for streaming and digital purchase via Bandcamp and Metropolis Records.
