Ludichrist was a New York hardcore punk/speed metal band formed in the 1980s. Their musical style broke from traditional New York Hardcore roots by adding aspects of rock, heavy metal and jazz, like extended guitar solos and musical interludes on their debut album "Immaculate Deception". One track featured guest vocalists from fellow New York bands Agnostic Front, Nuclear Assault, The Crumbsuckers and Leeway.
