Godspeed: David Blanch (vocals); Tommy Southard (guitar, vocals); Rob Hultz, Chris Kosnik (bass, vocals); Tim Schoenleber (drums, vocals).Additional personnel: Tony Ricci (saxophone); Jacko Monahan (vocals); Ted Mechanic (background vocals).Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, New York, New York.All songs written by Godspeed.Godspeed took no prisoners whatsoever on Ride, a blistering, noisy thrash metal date that's unrelenting in its heaviness. While the U.K. band isn't quite in a class with Slayer or Metallica, brutal offerings like "Hate," "Christ" and "Stubborn Ass" made it abundantly clear that Godspeed had much potential. Slayer, Metallica and Black Sabbath are among the metalheads' influences, and Ride also shows an awareness of the industrial noise and alternative rock coming out in 1994. One of the most interesting songs on Ride is the extended "My Brother," which manages to fuse metal with elements of avant-garde jazz. This is a blistering CD that metalheads shouldn't overlook.
