California Metal Volume II
Artist: Emerald
Label: Regency Records
Released: 1988
Type: Full-Length/Compilation
Rating: This album has not yet been rated.
Released in 1988, this was the second of five compilation albums released by Regency Records and was designed primarily to showcase the talents of the numerous unsigned Christian metal bands that had arrived on the scene following the success of Stryper. California Metal (1987) was the first, quickly followed by California Metal Volume II (1988), East Coast Metal (1988), Underground Metal (1989) and Underground Metal 2 (1989). As a bonus, another album released by Regency along the preceding metal line was Classic Metal (1990). As far as the title "California Metal" implies, all of the artists participating on the project come from the state of music in question and bring a variety of metal styles ranging from classic metal, melodic metal, speed metal and commercial hard rock to it.
