...In January of 2003, Lance and BOP decided to part company. Work had
already begun on the follow-up to Perfect Balance, but now BoP was
finding themselves without a lead vocalist for the first time in 5
years.

Work continued on the album, to be called Heathen Machine even though
no replacement for Lance had been found. Once they got to recording the
vocal tracks a few names were being tossed around as a suitable
replacement. Time was scheduled for tryouts, even though they wouldn't
be needed. Tony and Lionel had heard through a mutual friend that John
K of the band Biomechanical was interested in the vacant slot. Time was
scheduled for him to lay down his ideas, and actually recording started
that day. As soon as John set in, all agreed he was the perfect
candidate for the job. Heathen machine was again recorded at POD
studios and produced by Lionel Hicks. Mixing took place at Oarfin
records in Minneapolis during July 2003. Massacre Records released
Heathen Machine on 25 Sept 2003 in Europe and the UK, Avalon Marquee
released it in Japan and DCA Records of California in the USA.

Heathen Machine turned out to be the best selling album that Balance of
Power had produced to date. The press and media response was excellent
and the album received top marks in most of the worlds metal magazines
and some awarded Heathen Machine album of the month....
