Altruistic Suicide was the first live gigging band from HWP and it took an organic and direct approach to making industrial and rock music. Found and created sounds, traditional instruments, and technology and processing are all combined in a unique and emotion filled context. The results created a variety of sounds and styles found on recordings as well as the unconventional use of effects and feedback as instruments. This method of mixing sounds and genres (along with good ol' road sweat) integrated the writing, recording, and performance of the music at all levels and often surfaced on the extended sound based improvisations during live shows. Concerts mixed this incendiary exploration with hard hitting tight arrangements of songs and this balance that helped make Altruistic Suicide one of the most aggressive yet appealing indie bands on the local Phila. scene.

The first single Two (released in 1991) is now long out of print but with the introduction of the album Human Machine Altruistic Suicide put it's live jamming style forward with a mix of hard rock, grinding industrial, and blues influenced songs. Industrial Nation wrote, "Altruistic Suicide have stumbled past the confining, cliched borders of the "industrial" label. Diverse in its violent and more poetic moments." Human Machine also got the attention of Arc, the Underground Press, and the Cyberden's own Nexus 6 magazine.
