Godspeed (band)
Godspeed is an American metal band formed in 1992. Following the release of their debut album Ride on Atlantic Records, the band embarked on two high-profile tours as the opening act for Black Sabbath and Dio. They gained attention with an appearance on the 1994 Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity in Black, on which they teamed up with vocalist Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden to record a cover of the Black Sabbath song "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath".
