Yet another band led by American underground metal veteran Tom Gattis (ex-Tension, Wardog), Ballistic deliver modern thrash metal on their 2003 eponymous debut. Besides Gattis, who handles vocals and guitar, the album features guitarist Peter Petev, bassist Tim O'Connor, and Jag Panzer drummer Rikard Stjernquist, who reportedly convinced his Panzer bandmate vocalist Harry Conklin to also join Ballistic in 2003. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
