Harry "Tyrant" Conklin è uscito dai Ballistic perchè impossibilitato a seguire la band americana nel tour che inizierà a breve e che li vedrà approdare in Europa in occasione del Bang Your Head 2004.

Questo l'annuncio del leader Tom Gattis:

"Musically, we were all getting along great, in fact, couldn't be better, but unfortunately non-musical circumstances have made it impossible for Harry to travel with us outside the country."

La band americana ha già annunciato il sostituto: si tratta di Tony Taylor dei Twisted Tower Dire (ma anche Isen Torr e October 31). Ecco la sua dichiarazione:

"BALLISTIC really gives me a chance to explore new directions vocally and to push myself to new limits. The band is amazing and is like a 'fist to the face' with chainsaw guitars and an unbelievable rhythm section. Hold on to your fucking hats!"
