Psywarfare

Psywarfare is the noise and power electronics project of Dwid Hellion, founder and vocalist of Integrity, the hardcore band formed in Cleveland in 1988. The name is short for psychological warfare. Hellion built the project from tape loops, field recordings, modified effects and toys, and he describes it as sound meant to confront and provoke the listener. Hellion has named Throbbing Gristle and Whitehouse among his influences. Psywarfare opened for Merzbow and Masonna, and in 1996 Victory Records issued a split 7-inch with Integrity.
