Musical style and legacy

Integrity is considered to be a pioneer of metalcore being one of the first bands to mix metal and hardcore punk in a way that would later become popular, influencing bands such as Hatebreed and Terror. Their music has been described as "an intense sound that melds together high-velocity hardcore punk, heavy metal, blues, thrash, and angular, noisy guitar riffs."[3]

Albert Mudrian, editor-in-chief of the metal magazine Decibel and author of Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal and Grindcore, claims that "They're one of the watershed artists" for heavy music genres, explaining that "they're definitely important to all forms of extreme music. A band like Hatebreed wouldn't sound like they did without Integrity opening up that door for them."[4]

Artist Derek Hess wrote that "They were ahead of the curve. Integrity started incorporating art and illustrations, and I think that was a real right-on thing that broke away from the pack. When you say the name Dwid throughout the industry, they know who you're talking about. He's infamous."[4]

Hellion has had numerous side projects, including his electronic project, Psywarfare.[5] and horror-themed, Vermapyre.

In July 2017, Hellion was featured on the cover of Decibel magazine, no. 153. He is quoted as saying "I do not listen to much new music. When I need a new album to listen to, I make one."[6] Previously, in 2013, Integrity's Systems Overload (1995, Victory Records) was featured in the Decibel "Hall of Fame". In feature, the album is referred to as "the landmark work in a grand and heretical oeuvre".[7]
