Integrity, formed in 1989, is a Cleveland, Ohio-based band. They are credited as one of the first bands to successfully incorporate heavy metal elements into hardcore punk. Lyrical themes include religion, the supernatural, individualism, and the occult.

It was common rumor they were dropped from Victory Records for being "satanic".

A 7" record was recently released on www.A389records.com in September 2008. They are currently in the process of working on new material for a LP/CD that will be released on Deathwish in early 2009, also in the works in a split 7" record with VVegas.

Influences

GISM, Black Sabbath, Slayer, Septic Death, Samhain, Motörhead, and Joy Division.^[1]
