After ten years of fronting the thrash metal band Tension (earlier known as Deuce and featuring later to be Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman) and two albums with Wardog, vocalist Tom Gattis is now back to strike again with his new band Ballistic. For this album he is joined by Bulgarian born guitarist Petio Petev, Tim O'Connor, his old bandmate from Tension, on bass and Jag Panzer's Rikard Stjernquist on drums. It's been a while since Metal Blade presented a good new band but with Ballistic they have hit the success button once again. This self-titled debut album from the young band is as thick and intense as Nevermore and as thrashing and melodic as early Slayer. This is one of the most energetic releases of the year and even though the album is close to 50 minutes long you will not experience one single second of boredom when listening to it. If you enjoy heavy melodic metal in the American vein you will not be disappointed with this release. There is an incredible amount of both instrumental and song writing skills shown on this release. Ballistic is here to stay and we'll just have to hope that this band will live longer than Wardog did. This is metal!
