"Speed King" is a song by the English rock band Deep Purple, from their 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock.[3] The song has been cited as an influence in the development of speed metal.[6]
Although released as B-side to the "Black Night" single in the United Kingdom and many other countries, "Speed King" was released as a single in its own right in The Netherlands and Germany, ahead of the Deep Purple In Rock album.
