# 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".

After the band's late 1990s breakup, bassist Chris Kosnik and guitarist Tommy Southard went on to contribute to the stoner rock movement with their own bands the Atomic Bitchwax and Solace for nearly two decades.

Godspeed's original line-up reunited in 2012 to record new material and undertake a tour in mid-2013.
