T-Ride

T-Ride was an American, San Francisco-based heavy metal band, which was noted for its wildly complex instrument and vocal arrangements.[1] Their eponymous debut album was released in 1992.[1] The band was compared to Queen and Van Halen, and the album received glowing reviews, including Joe Satriani describing them as "the future of metal".[1] Despite this, the group disbanded before finishing their second album.
