Godiva is a heavy metal band from Switzerland, founded in early 2001 as a cover band. By the summer of 2001, the band recorded their first 3-track-demo and, within the next year, Godiva supported bands such as Freedom Call, Shakra, Primal Fear and Dokken. Therefore it is not surprising that already one year after the band's formation Godiva were headlining the Swiss Metal Attack festival in 2002.

The band's first album was simply titled Godiva and was recorded at the House of Music Studio in Winterbach, Baden-Württemberg, Germany under the direction of the producers Tom Naumann and Achim Köhler and released by Limb Music.

The second album, Call Me Under 666, was released in the summer of 2005, with the formation of Sammy Lasagni and Moses B. Fernandez (guitars), Mitch Koontz (bass), Peter Gander (drums) and Fernando Garcia (vocals).

Their third album, Destruction, was released in 2007 on Mausoleum Records and was produced, recorded and mixed by Dennis Ward. Steve Papacharitos replaced Moses Fernandez on second guitar.
