Ludicra is a Black Metal band from San Francisco . They originally formed in 1998 as a quartet and later expanded to five members. Ludicra can be described as straight-ahead black metal, as the band's sound is absent of electronic gothic style keyboards or pagan folk influences. Influences include bands such as Darkthrone , Gorgoroth , Dødheimsgard , and Bethlehem . The group includes current and former members of other local bands such as Impaled , Hammers Of Misfortune , Tallow , Missile Command , Ominum , and the somewhat infamous punk band Hickey . Ludicra play semi-regularly in the San Francisco area, where they have a strong reputation. They have shared the stage with a diverse ranging of bands including the death metal band Impaled, the post-hardcore/noise outfit Total Shutdown , and instrumental Math Metal band The Fucking Champs .
