Relapse Recordshas announced the signing of hardcore legendsIntegrity.

Originally formed in 1988,Integrityis known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in American hardcore and modern metal history. The group, which has issued eleven full-length albums and a litany of splits/EPs, including a recent split withPower Trip, will enter the studio later this year to record its new album for a 2017 release.

IntegrityfrontmanDwid Hellioncommented on the new material and signing: "It is a great honor to be a part of theRelapsefamily. I have been a longtime admirer of the label and excited to have our new album released under theRelapsebanner.

"Integrityhas always been a creature of destruction and introspection. The ever-beginning end. A lesson in lechery and weaponized love. Forever culling forth the demons of deep within to enchant our congregation with serrated scripture.

"We have been writing the newIntegrityalbum throughout the past year. Whittling away at forbidden deities and forgotten curses until we arrive with chapter and verse."

Integritywill headline this year'sThis Is Hardcore Festin Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The band recently contributed a cover version ofR.U.G.'s"Deathly Fighter"forDecibel's Flexi Disc Series.
