Emerald - Look to the Stars (HQ)

This is Track #4 from the Emerald EP, Armed for Battle Listen to the whole album here -    • Emerald - Armed for Battle - 1986 - Full E...   Emerald were a Metal group out of Southern California. They formed in 1978 but didn't get a recording out until this EP in 1986. Somehow the band were able to save up (or were gifted) $13,000 to record this EP. The result is actually quite stunning for that budget. The album measures up to any Metal album of the time. In fact it is much better than many label based Metal albums. Normally I am terrified of self produced albums but not this one. But it's not just the production that is good but these guys are really really good. As far as I can tell the album was self published and distributed. The number of pressings appears to be a matter of argument but suffice to say it was small with copies of the original pressing fetching in excess of $500 at the time of this writing. Luckily there has been several re-pressings and a CD version is available now. If you like Metal and you've never heard this EP you need to give it a listen. You won't be disappointed.
