  • Tourniquet is a great thrash band that has released awesome albums. They have a great technical talent: the bands leader, Ted Kirkpatrick, is one of the most awesome drummers in thrash; maybe is not as good as Dave Lombardo or Nick [Menza], but he is awesome with the drums. Gary [Lenaire] and Mark Lewis, the original guitarists, were astounding guitarists; they made great riffs and solos. Guy Ritter, the lead vocalist, made a kick-ass work while he was in the band. All the other members were pretty great too, but these were the guys in the first album, Stop the Bleeding.
    They are a great band, one of the greatest thrash bands in history; but they are not very known only because they a Christian band. I recommend songs like Viento Borrascoso, [A Dogs Breakfast], Ready or Not, Ark of Suffering or [Pathogenic] Ocular Dissonance.
