Daniel J.Biography
Colorado natives Jag Panzer first came together in late 1981, being inspired by the onslaught of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal that had taken the heavy rock world by storm in the early 80s.Harry Conklin on vocals (later nicknamed the "Tyrant", as a nod to Metal Legends Judas Priest), Mark Briody (who was the sole guitarist of the group in its first incarnation), John Tetley who played the bass, and Rick Hilyard as the drummer.The band was known as Tyrant in its first incarnation.They soon had to change their name from Tyrant, however, because another band by the name of Tyrant existed in California.They saw a poster featuring a German WWII tank, named Jagdpanzer (Hunting tank in German).The shift to Jag Panzer seemed logical, since JagdPanzer must have been hard to pronounce.The band, who were all in their late teens at the time, played at local venues in the Denver club circuit, and recorded a legendary EP in 1983, later known as "Tyrants".The album was released in August of that same year by a small indie label called Azra Records.The album eventually became one of the most sensationnal underground metal albums of all time, and currently fetching high prices on online auctions.That never really happened, as Joey eventually quit the band in 1985, releasing a solo album in 1987, while Harry Conklin played with New York's Riot for a brief period of time in the late 80's before forming his own band, caslled "Titan Force".Jag Panzer, or more accurately Mark Briody and John Tetley, as Rick Hilyard had also been replaced by Butch Carlsson, who left in 1986, revamped the band by recruiting vocalist Bob Parduba and guitarist Christisan Lasegue.The album was recorded in late 1987 but never got an official release.The story has it that the band was offered a record deal by a major label, but turned it down.Guitarist Chris Hostka and drummer Rikard Stjernquist were also present for their first official album in almost 10 years, called "Dissident Alliance".While the album featured some hit tracks, some found the production values to be crude, while others found the overall sound of the album "Pantera Friendly".Released by German indie label Rising Sun, the album never got a warm reception by the metal community.The first album they released on Century Media was "Fourth Judgement" which came out in late 1997.The album was a commercial and critical success.Guitarist Chris Broderick was thrown in the mix, after Taffolla's departure in 1997, this time for good.The next album was title "Age of Mastery" and was released in the fall of 1998.Having reaffirmed their devotion to heavy metal, Jag Panzer sought to tackle more ambitious territory for their next album.In 2004 the band released a new album titled "Casting the Stones".Jag Panzer are in the planning stages of recording a new double live album.The album will be recorded and released in 2007.NEVERMORE on the same date (August 25) in Seattle, JAG PANZER will be unable to perform at the Minneapolis Mayhem 3 festival on the same date.Therefore, due to the scheduling conflict that caused an overbooking of the JAG PANZER guitarist, SEVEN WITCHES has replaced JAG PANZER on the Minneapolis Mayhem 3 festival.Jag Panzer head out for their 9 concert run today, beginning November 3rd in San Benedetto del Tronto, Italy, and ending November 9th at the Mylos Club, in Herakleion, Greece.SiteCatalyst code version: H.Plugin: Days since last Visit 1.Jag Panzer (read more)
146,839 plays scrobbled on Last.Jag Panzer, are a power metal band originally formed in Colorado in 1978 as Tyrant.They later found out that there was already a band in existence by the name of Tyrant, so they named the band Jag Panzer after the Jagdpanzer, which was a German WWII tank.With all of these troubles, the band decided to call it quits in 1988.In 1994 the band reunited consisting of Daniel J.Conca on vocals, Mark Briody and Chris Hostka on guitar, John Tetley on bass, and Rikard Stjernquist on drums.There you see what happens if your label thinks merchandise is capitalist crap.Frozen in Fear, has 932 listeners in total...One of the best American Power Metal bands out there.By the way, are you stalking me?That is where they took their name from.Join the 80s metal group Power Speed Thrash!Which song would it be then if you make the choice?My favorite is Cold is the Blade, but that is probably not the typical JP song.Maybe Shadow Thief, Iron Eagle or something off Ample Destruction.Jag Panzer is recommended to and streamed at I guess...Silly to only have one streamable track, really..Excellent US power metal here.Worth praising to the highest level.Haven't heard anything from before Broderick joined; is it worth getting?There seems to be a huge lack of actual metal in the metal section of music shops around here.Ample Destruction is great.Jag Panzer is awesome.Celticknife: Yes, they are amazing, and yes, dragonforce's new album is pretty shit (the other 2 are decent by the way), but I just prefer dragonforce, possibly because I've heard nowhere enough Jag Panzer to make a full judgement, just don't be so damn aggressive with me preferring them, please.Helstar and Jag Panzer as well as Vicious Rumors, Liege Lord and Metal Church are case studies of pure misfortune!Whoever said dragonforce is better than these guys: get your fucking ears checked man.Yeah, they definitely deserve more listeners.Oh well, I've told my friends about them.Dragonforce are better than these guys, however.Only have one Iced Earth so can't judge that.Web Site Support
