Hewhocorrupts


Hewhocorrupts is a Chicago-based grindcore band that uses corporate lingo and aesthetics. They are most known for their songs mocking Metallica, making reference to the notorious allegations of the group having sold out by parodying the band's song titles with their own business-related counterparts: Ride the Lightning is retitled Ride the Limo and Master of Puppets becomes Master of Profits. This jab of satire is carried through the entire band's style. Their own site refers to them as "Hewhocorrupts Megacorp.", and they appear in a costume of business suits and aviator sunglasses informally known as "hardcorporate", in reference to other styles such as hardcore, grindcore, etc.
Members of the band were in the power violence/grindcore band Kungfu Rick and in Authority Abuse. The band's Tommy Camaro – along with Andy Slania – operates an indie record label, Hewhocorrupts, Inc., which has released records by such artists as 7000 Dying Rats, Holy Roman Empire, Russian Circles, Tower of Rome, and Tusk.
