Horror Planet created two releases: "Otis The Frogman", a collection of songs and outtakes on a hand-painted cassette tape and the "Cow Pies from Outer Space", a six-song e.p.
Christ and Cummings worked together to create the cassette cover, a bumper sticker, and a 16-page illustrated booklet and a half-page ad for Maximum Rock-n-Roll announcing the release.
In the October 1985 Maximumrocknroll contributing writer Pushead (aka Brian Schroeder) wrote: "Wild, chaotic, intense and full of different variations, Ludichrist charge outward with a superb sonic flailing.
Ludichrist's 1986 release "Immaculate Deception" features Cummings paired with guitarist Joe Butcher, and was recorded at Platinum Island Sounds in Manhattan with Randy Burns[5] producing.
The album featured 19 tracks, 12 of them rearranged versions which had appeared on other releases, and 7 of them appearing for the first time: "Fire at The Firehouse" which begins with a riff inspired by Black Sabbath's "Fairies Wear Boots" and tales a moral fable of a racist who magically wakes up with the tables turned, "Games Once Played" which features a guitar and bass duet written by Chuck Valle and the first of Christ's poetic lyrics, "Green Eggs and Ham" a song with lyrics cribbed directly from Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham, and music lifted wholesale from Rapid Deployment's "No Edge".
The track features guest performances by Roger Miret of Agnostic Front, John Connelly of Nuclear Assault, Eddie Sutton of Leeway (band), and Chris Notaro of the Crumbsuckers.
"Legal Murder" a pisstake which alternates between melodic swing and DRI-esque thrash, "Thinking of You" penned by Joe Butcher, inspired by doom rockers Trouble post-Sabbath heaviness, "Last Train to Clarksville" a thrashy but earnest cover of Boyce and Hart's pop hit written for the made-for -TV-band, The Monkees.
Ask guitar god Joe Satriani, who reportedly swore up and down that Neider/Cummings tag team churned forth some of the finest finger work he's heard in a dog's age.
Music journalist Ian McFarland explains "Its not hard to figure out how a cult metal outfit from the U.S. can become stars virtually overnight here in Australia [...] the likes of ABC TV's late night video show Rage ad JJJ FM regularly aired the track last year, which set a groundswell in motion that led to more commercial FM stations like MMM adding it to their playlists.
Cartwright, Hayes, Butler and Owens were previously members of The Hard Corps whose hit album "Def Before Dishonor"[17](Atlantic Records, 1991) was co-produced by RUN DMC's Jam Master Jay and Joe "the Butcher" Nicolo.
