Known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in hardcore and modern metal history, apocalyptic heavy music icons INTEGRITY formed in 1988 primarily as an outlet for the philosophical and spiritual musings of vocalist Dwid Hellion. With an intense sound that melds together high-velocity hardcore punk, heavy metal, thrash and angular, noisy guitar riffs with lyrical themes that include religion, the supernatural, mental illness, individualism, the occult, and Holy Terrorism, INTEGRITY are unquestionably one of the pioneering forces that forged the worlds of hardcore and metal together. Their influence on hundreds, if not thousands of bands can still be heard to this day. 
 More than 30 years of creating dark and terrifying anthems under their belt, INTEGRITY have honored their past musical legacy while fearlessly moving forward into unchartered territory on what is undoubtedly their most elaborate and ambitious effort to date, Howling, For The Nightmare Shall Consume, was released on July 2017 via Relapse Records. The vicious legacy of Holy Terror lives on!

Earth Crisis’ chugging riffs and barked declarations served as the mouthpiece for the global vegan straight-edge movement throughout the ’90s, detailing the ideas of animal and human liberation, environmentalism, drug-free living, and personal empowerment through hardcore song.

Featuring members of Grave Titan, State of Suffering, and Natural Evil, Witness Chamber is a new metallic hardcore band you should take notice of. Based out of Boise, ID, the 4-piece group came together durin the COVID-19 lockdown, united by their mutual love for bands like Foundation, Merauder, and Division of Mind.
