The L.A. Metal movement rose rapidly thanks to strong support from record labels scouting in California, quickly becoming a major force that rivaled the British metal scene. For the first time since the global success of Hotel California, Los Angeles became the center of attention in rock and metal.

Metal developed a flashier, more accessible style that attracted a new audience and gradually pushed the British movement into decline.
