4.0 excellent | God of terror, very low dost thou bring us, very low hast thou brought us | May 15th 24 | These guys were way ahead of their time for sure. Very overlooked band. I guess they were too
weird for the avg thrash metal fan to enjoy back in the day. Also their crossover with
hardcore punk and the rap vocals surely scared many metalheads. Fear not though, this is
awesome crossover thrash with elements that wouldn't get perfected until many years later.
Crazy this was released before Killing Technology.

4.5 superb | ManiacBlasphemer | October 14th 19 | If I had to make a list of overlooked/underrated bands, Ludichrist would easily be in the top 10, if not top 5. If not the top spot. The fact that these guys went unobserved back in the 80s and they still go unnoticed today clearly showed that music fans haven't really changed in the past 40 years. It is true that in the past they were a bit more interested in music rather than in non-musical aspects (due to hipsters not being the overall majority yet), but they still showed reluctance to embrace something that strays from a certain formula. Ludichrist play essentially a metallized version of hardcore punk, not really crossover jazz influence and even an early implementation of rap vocals. The band is also quite quirky, in the sense that they employ irregular song structures and shift from one mood to another. Simply check track 8, in which they start playing extremely fast only to end up with a rap section. Many highlights: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 18-20, but essentially all tracks are well above average, no filler material. Very good vocals, some of the best in NYHC.
