Coup de Grace was a a multimedia project under which Michael Moynihan released recordings and print.
At age 15, Moynihan began making experimental industrial music, some of it power electronics, under the name Coup de Grace. It became the name for a multimedia project under which name he operated from 1984-early 1989. In addition to cassettes and a live performance, booklets of images and texts were released, the last of which was an illustrated edition of Friedrich Nietzsche's Der Antichrist.
A track of Coup de Grace was featured on the 1997Men Among Mice CD compilation.

When criminals were tortured by the wheel or otherwise, the executioner gave him a coupde grâce, or blow on the head or breast, to put him out of his misery.
“The Turks dealt the coupde grâce to the Eastern empire.”—Times.
The punishment is concluded by a blow across the breast, called the coupde grâce, or blow of mercy, because it removes the sufferer from his agony.
