ABOUT THE ALBUM
Few
bands have hit the scene with a debut album that was a too-hot-handle
bonafide instant classic from the moment it hit the stores. The CMR Top 100 Christian Metal Albums Of All-Time ranks
this 1990 debut at #5 of ALL-TIME! And, yes, it is that important and
that good! Tourniquet formed in Los Angeles, CA in 1989. The band was
founded by Ted Kirkpatrick, Guy Ritter, and Gary Lenaire. Stop the Bleeding is
an intoxicating mixture of thrash, progressive, and neo-classical heavy
metal that helped the band move light years beyond cliche’ and
triviality. The song "You Get What You Pray For" was the band's first
single and charted quite well. It was a GMA Dove Award nominee for
"Metal Recorded Song of the Year" in 1990. The band's groundbreaking and
controversial video for "Ark of Suffering," written by drummer Ted
Kirkpatrick, a true animal welfare advocate, contains disturbing footage
of animals in laboratories and slaughterhouses - received airplay on
MTV before the channel ceased airing it after complaints that it was too
graphic. Despite MTV's ban, the video won the Christian News Forum
Contemporary Christian Music Award for "Rock Video of the Year," and
Heaven's Metal magazine readers voted it their "Favorite Video of the
Year." Tourniquet has earned six GMA Dove Award nominations and won
recognition globally from magazines such as Modern Drummer, Guitar Player, Metal Hammer, and HM Magazine,
where Tourniquet was voted "Favorite Band of the 1990s" and won
"Favorite Album of the 1990s." Tourniquet has sold more than 300,000
albums. The 2020 reissue
is reloaded with a 12x12 insert with with loads of never-before-seen
band pics. And, you also get an all-new 2020 remaster by Rob Colwell of
Bombworks Sound which makes this is THE ultimate collector’s dream for
deluxe reissues!
