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