When the album was released in November 1969, it marked - literally - the beginning of the new era and the new sound: Heavy Metal. And, while Heavy Metal existed as a genre even before Led Zeppelin II (Blue Cheer, Vanilla Fudge, Steppenwolf) it was heavily beholden to psychedelia and bore a heavy burden of debt to the previous era`s exaggerations and idiosyncracies.
Not so with Led Zeppelin II. From the opening blast of `Whola Lotta Love` to the final fade of `Bring it on Home`, the listener knows that he is not in Kansas anymore. This is a whole new, uncharted territory. In fact, the album makes a clean break even with the band`s first album: on their first album, one can easily hear remnants of British psychedelia (Black Mountain Top), progressive rock (Your time is gonna come) urban electric blues (You shook me; How many more times; I can`t quit you), folk music (Babe, I`m gonna leave you) and other styles the band members were into at a time. However, you won’t find such excursions on Led Zeppelin II: the album is a monolithic slab of primo metal: an all-out, in-your-face assault from start to finish. Even the ballads exude the spirit of burning Metal.
