Ludichrist

Ludichrist is an American band formed in 1984 in Long Island New York. Their musical style broke from the conventions of New York hardcore by adding aspects of rock, heavy metal and jazz, such as musical interludes and extended guitar solos. Ludichrist is regarded as one of the crossover movement's most prominent groups, alongside D.R.I.. Drummer Dave Miranda saw Ludichrist as "crossing into both, punk and metal without firmly belonging into either camp" he observed that "the band was readily influenced by bands around them such as Crumbsuckers and Agnostic Front".
