Which band recorded the song 'Ace of Spades'?

The band that recorded the song “Ace of Spades” is Motörhead.

Released as a single in October 1980, “Ace of Spades” is the title track of Motörhead’s landmark album. The song was written by bassist and vocalist Lemmy, guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke, and drummer Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor, the classic lineup that defined the band’s most celebrated period.

The track’s fast tempo, distorted bass, gritty vocals, and hard-driving guitar made it a defining example of Motörhead’s fusion of heavy metal, punk energy, and rock ’n’ roll. At just under three minutes, it became one of the band’s most recognizable songs and a permanent fixture of their live set.

“Ace of Spades” originally peaked at No. 15 on the UK Singles Chart. Its title invokes gambling imagery, but the song is less a poker tutorial than a celebration of risk, speed, and reckless living. It is sometimes grouped with conventional British heavy-metal songs by Iron Maiden or Judas Priest, though Motörhead occupied a rougher, faster musical space.
