R‑TYPE IV Lyrics & Tracklist – HEALTH

Album Overview

R‑TYPE IV is the fourth installment in the R‑TYPE series of remix LPs by American industrial rock band Health, scheduled for release on April 9, 2026 through Loma Vista Recordings. This release forms part of an ongoing multi‑part remix project that reinterprets selections from the band’s recent catalog, including material drawn from albums such as Conflict DLC, Rat Wars, and Disco4: Part II. The R‑TYPE series bridges industrial noise, electronic, and experimental rock influences as HEALTH collaborate with a wide range of producers and artists within underground electronic and industrial scenes, with each volume presenting alternate takes, remixes, and reinterpretations of original source material.

As a project rooted in reimagined soundscapes rather than conventional studio albums, R‑TYPE IV maintains HEALTH’s sonic identity while foregrounding the creative contributions of remix artists and collaborators throughout the series. The series has been released in chronological order, with predecessor EPs R‑TYPE I, R‑TYPE II, and R‑TYPE III arriving earlier in 2026. R‑TYPE IV continues this trajectory, expanding the scope of reinterpretation and production experimentation.

Musical Style

The R‑TYPE series, including this fourth installment, is characterized by a blending of industrial, electronic, noise, and metal elements. Health’s original compositions often incorporate heavy distortion, rhythmic complexity, and abrasive textures; the remixes found throughout R‑TYPE IV and its predecessors reshape these elements through the lenses of electronic producers, synthesizer‑based remixers, and genre‑blurring collaborators. Sonically, this places R‑TYPE IV within an avant‑leaning intersection of industrial rock and electronic remix culture, where aggressive tempos and atmospheric processing converge.

Remix contributors across the R‑TYPE series bring diverse stylistic fingerprints that range from synthwave and dark electronic to breakbeat‑inflected industrial reinterpretations. This collaborative remix ethos situates R‑TYPE IV less as a traditional album and more as a curated deconstruction and expansion of Health’s musical universe, appealing to listeners interested in both underground electronic music and alternative rock reworkings.
