Godspeed were an American heavy metal band formed in 1994. Following the release of their debut (and only) album Ride, produced by Rachel Bolan of Skid Row,[1] the band embarked on two high-profile tours as the opening act for Black Sabbath, Dio, and Cathedral. They also gained attention with an appearance on the Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity in Black, on which they teamed up with guest vocalist Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden to record a cover of the Black Sabbath song, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath."
Their initial momentum could not be sustained, however, and the band broke up in 1996.
