Eiterherd should be both known by running his Widerstand label and his solo work as a producer and performer. He started with Experimental Hardcore, a bit in the vein of Fischkopf or Praxis, but with relentless fierce drumming and a whole overload of noize, as well as a talent for procuring good and creative samples. This is some really angry, confrontial Hardcore, bordering on Speedcore. Later he switched to broken beats and Breakcore, and became a master of that style; also one of the original Early Breakcore artists.
With Widerstand - the german word for resistance - he not only released his own output but producers auch as Acid Enema, Berzerker, Lasse Steen... it's a label whose name was burnt into the history of Hardcore. Eiterherd was never afraid of voicing his political opinions, both in his tracks and his work for Widerstand (which includes a release built upon samples from the "1984" movie), and I think only a politically charged mind can pack so much anger, but also hope, in his tracks.
