Hewhocorrupts are an extreme metal and hardcore punk band. They are best known for their songs mocking Metallica, making reference to the notorious allegations of the group having sold out, parodying the more famous band's song titles with 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 "corporatecore", in reference to other styles such as hardcore, deathcore, grindcore, etc.
Members of the band were in the power violence/grindcore band Kung Fu Rick and in Authority Abuse. Hewhocorrupts also operate a record label, releasing music by such Wilbur Cobb, Third Degree, Tusk, Godstomper, Infestation of Ass, Dont Worry About It, Fordirelifesake, and Fork Knife Spoon.
