Ballista’s upcoming EP ‘Trans Day of Revenge’ will release in December
“I think my life would have been way better if I had been able to transition as early as I started having those feelings,” she said.Elliott transitioned five years ago and is the lead vocalist of the Dallas-based death metal band Ballista. For Elliott, music is a form of protest.
Elliott began identifying as nonbinary years before she formed Ballista in 2017. She told guitarist Jonathan Bary that she wanted to start a band to talk about issues important to her, like sexual assault. A year later, Elliott came out as trans and began using music to fight for trans visibility.
“I didn’t know of any gender nonconforming or trans bands, and it was really cool to see that even before I realized I was trans,” Elliott said.featuring San Antonio-based death metal band Sanity Slip, is a song about violence against trans-exclusionary radical feminists. In one line, you hear Elliot growl lyrics such as, “No terfs on my turf” and “Tell me I don’t exist when your nose meets my iron fist” over distorted guitars. It’s angry, provocative and shocking, and that’s the point.
“It’s OK for trans people to be angry at the way we’re treated by society and especially the conservative parts of society,” Elliott said. “If, through my angry, reactionary, death metal lyrics someone, an ally or otherwise, can get a new perspective of how transphobia makes us feel, I think that would be great.”and will be out in December. The band’s next show is Nov. 17 at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio in Denton.
