Emerald - Wings Of Doom
BackChristian Heavy/power metal from California. Not all of the EMERALD membership were Christian at the time of recording the 'Armed For Battle' album but all would convert after it's release. EMERALD was founded during 1978 by the teenage guitar player Dave Enos and lead vocalist Larry Phillips. The 'Armed For Battle' recording sessions would see bass player Roger Martin in the studio for six songs until he left, relocating to Los Angeles to join the now infamous Vengeance Rising. The band then enlisted Joe Palma to complete bass parts. The album emerged in early 1987, nearly a full year after commencement of recording, but EMERALD called it a day in November 1988. Drummer Kyle Morrett would join SACRED FAITH whilst Enos created LAST DAZE. The record was re-released on CD during 2000 by the M8 label packaged as a split CD with fellow Christian Metal act Oracle.'s 1992 'Selah' outing. The re-issue would add two bonus EMERALD tracks, 'Traitor' and 'Born To Die', culled from the 'California Metal II' compilation album.
