Artist History BALISTIC formed in 1993 after two bands in the Central PA area of the US broke up. They decided to play the way that they wanted to play, not the way the fads of the moment were going.The lyrics of a BALISTIC songs are very personal, and the music's intricate drum and bass lines weave songs for a new generation of metal fans. in early Janurary 2003 the band decided it might be time for a change to open some new doors for the band. They decided to find a new singer to give the band some new life and some More BALLS to the always pounding Balistic groove.They brought in front man Mark McNelley from the former Harrisburg, PA. based band Spellbound. Mark was looking for a change ,something a little heavier so the connection was made.And what you are about to hear on the latest album is the the *NEW* Balistic in what is called the TRANSFERENCE !
