In early 1984, the band recruited guitarist Joey Tafolla , a native of California, and promptly recorded their first album, Ample Destruction . After the release of the album, the band relocated to Southern California. Tafolla quit the band in 1986, releasing a solo album, Out of the Sun , in 1987, while Conklin played with Riot for a brief period in the late 1980s, before forming his own band, Titan Force. Without the two key members of the Ample Destruction lineup, Jag Panzer, or more accurately Briody and Tetley, as Hilyard had also been replaced by Reynold ‘Butch’ Carlson (who also left in 1986 along with Tafolla), revamped the band by recruiting vocalist Bob Parduba, and guitarist Christian Lasegue. Swedish drummer Rikard Stjernquist was added to the lineup and the band proceeded to record the follow-up to their debut LP. The album was recorded in late 1987, but never got an official release.
