Dwid Hellion (Integrity)

HardLore is finally joined by one of the most influential vocalists and artists in the history of hardcore/punk: Dwid Hellion of Integrity.

This 3-hour sprawling epic starts at his childhood in Louisville, KY accidentally making harsh noise in his backyard, all the way to becoming a permanent staple of the Cleveland Hardcore Mt. Rushmore.

Integrity's rise in the 90s with records like "Those Who Fear Tomorrow", "Humanity is the Devil" and "Systems Overload" would go on to help define the sound and atmosphere of the entire decade, with their music and message causing a dark sea change in hardcore.
Now we hear about the records that caused such a drastic, longtime shift and Dwid's thorough recollection of the golden age of 90's hardcore. Thank you Dwid for joining us, enjoy.
