Two transcontinental industrial machines collide as Damage Control and OHMelectronic prepare a three-track transmission of mechanical tension, electronic resistance, and uncompromising club energy.
A New Alliance Advances Beyond “Manifesto” 💀
Damage Control and OHMelectronic will release their collaborative EP Red Lines on September 11, 2026, through Metropolis Records. The three-track collection follows “Manifesto,” the alliance’s debut single, which arrived on July 17 and is available immediately with the Bandcamp pre-order.
“Manifesto” introduced the collaboration with nearly six minutes of calculated electro-industrial pressure. Now joined by “Modernity” and the title track, the full EP expands that opening declaration into a tightly concentrated electronic assault.
The title Red Lines immediately suggests boundaries, warnings, and points beyond which retreat is no longer possible. Its stark presentation reinforces that atmosphere: fractured architecture, industrial decay, and scattered red lettering transform the cover into a visual alarm system.
Transcontinental Machinery Crosses the Red Line ⚙️
Formed in 2012, Damage Control operates as a remote international collaboration connecting musicians across Australia, Canada, and beyond. The project includes Bill Barsby, Alex Wise, Richard Thacker, and Craig Joseph Huxtable, alongside an evolving network of contributors from the industrial underground.
OHMelectronic brings together Vancouver electronic veterans Chris Peterson and Craig Joseph Huxtable. Peterson’s extensive history includes work with Front Line Assembly, Noise Unit, Decree, and Delerium, while Huxtable’s background includes Landscape Body Machine and Noise Unit. With Huxtable connecting both projects and Peterson contributing decades of production experience, Red Lines represents a natural collision between two interconnected industrial forces.
The EP’s three-song structure keeps that collaboration compact and deliberate. “Manifesto” establishes its ideological foundation, “Modernity” confronts the machinery and contradictions of contemporary life, and “Red Lines” drives the concept toward its breaking point.
Rather than burying its message beneath unnecessary material, Damage Control and OHMelectronic have constructed a focused statement around rhythm, tension, and confrontation. The result connects classic electro-industrial discipline with modern production engineered for dark rooms, heavy systems, and listeners who prefer their electronics sharpened at the edges.
Metropolis Records will release Red Lines digitally on September 11, 2026. The Bandcamp pre-order is available for $4 or more and includes immediate streaming and download access to “Manifesto,” with the remaining tracks becoming available when the complete EP arrives.
