New Yorkhardcore/speed metal band formed in the 1980s. Ludichrist made music that was considered quite competent but generic, distinguished by the occasional clever lyric line. After their second proper album, lead singer Tommy Christ[?] and guitarists Glenn Cummings[?] and Paul Nieder[?] broke up the band and reformed with a new rhythm section as the more humor-oriented, style-jumping Scatterbrain[?].
