After a quick google search as to what "psychosurgery" was, the lyrics have become far more clear to me, which makes me appreciate this song even more. I'll definitely have to check out this album. Thanks for sharing! 😄
It's great seeing a new generation discover the classics. I was 20 when this came out & played this album & the previous cd constantly for months. As good as any secular thrash.
One of the best pinochle christian metal bands from the early 90's. You all know the drummer Ted Kirkpatrick passed away a few months ago he is now in heaven with JESUS. He was the best christian drummer that ever lived. Can't wait to see Ted Kirkpatrick in heaven. Blessings family of GOD I love you all in JESUS name. Keep 🎸🥁🎤🎼🎵🎶🤘🙏☝️👑 Maranatha come quickly LORD JESUS.
They put on a crazy show. Perfect sound and excellent tight drums guitar and vocals live. Sounded like the albums. Seen them once with about 100 other bands in the California Mountains back in the day. Too bad back then the shows didn't have many concert goers as far as Christian metal went. Still was allot of fun though. The remnent that did come got to see bands for 3 days which was epic. We were able to camp at super cheap cabins at Mt Hope 😍
I went to high school in Philadelphia in the mid-late 1990s. Some big dude in my Spanish class, named Josh, had this band name written on his bookbag in black marker. I always remembered him telling me it was a Christian Metal band. Then the Manson song came out. 🧐
Broken Chromosomes and A Dogs Breakfast are some great songs off this album (along with literally any other song lol(same goes for the first 4 tourniquet albums))
5 more songs by Tourniquet you’ll be glad you heard: Perfect night for a hanging...indulgence by proxy...enveloped in python...Acidhead...Vanishing Lessons. God bless and Metal on!
Bands like Tourniquet and Believer were not just great Christian Metal, their musical ability stood atop the entire music industry. Same with even the more commercial Metal like Stryper. The stuff these guys played was technically better than almost anything the secular industry had to offer.
TourniqueT = Psycho Surgery album and Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance album. They never made anything better than those 2 albums. Those 2 albums are the best of that band. Those 2 albums are their greatest hits.
Hey man, I have a thought for you. Bloodgood did 2 songs; "Crucify" and "Messiah". They tie directly into one another. Years ago they did a long form concert video. I have enclosed a youtube link for the 2 songs back to back. I've a couple of thoughts for you. Do a first time reaction with just you. Either play video or just song. This would be perfect around Easter. My other thought would be with your youth group playing the video. Definitely it will minister without a doubt. The lyrics and video are haunting. ruclips.net/video/lBrMVHQ_eDc/видео.html
It's pretty obvious why, if you were a young Christian and a metalhead in the early 90s, Tourniquet was the most exciting thing around.
Absolutely lol
fantastic band, one of the best ever. talented musicians. RIP Ted. :(

Lol I honestly wasn't completely sure what psychosurgery meant either, but now it does make a lot more sense in the song. Glad you enjoyed the song!

That sounds awesome! What were some of the other bands there?
Love it! This album is a masterpiece - my favorite of theirs.
Yes!
With Tourniquet, you KNOW it’s gonna be insane. You just never know how! Always deep lyrics.
Absolutely! They never cease to surprise and amaze me!
Classic Christian thrash. This whole album is great. My all time favorite Tourniquet song is on this album. It's called "Broken Chromosomes." 👍
I'll have to check that one out!
That's a great one, faafio. Very provocative then, and even more so now.
Broken Chromosomes, the song, is very touching with what it is about. It is very powerful with the topic it addresses.
@@Metal777 definitely, most definitely, check it out!! It is a very touching song!!!
LOVE Tourniquet
Yes!
Really like that you point out Christian lyrics. Most review channels miss this opportunity.
Thanks! I think lyrics are a really important part of music.
Great record! Classic stuff!
Yes!
Great song and band Jesus Christ bless this band
Amen!
The beginning of the song is like an orchestra tuning up. Ted, the drummer, likes classical music. Ted's dad was a doctor. You heard a cranial drill.
That’s really interesting!

Gary Is a phenomenal Guitarist/vocalist, Ted was an awesome drummer too.
Yes!
Ted was a great guitarist as well.
Some nice guitar. Interesting lyrics, also I did notice the drilling sound lol.
Yeah lol, the drilling sound was interesting.
That is a cranial drill. The drummers dad is a doctor.
How did you the sound of the cranial drill??
Miss you Ted!
@Metal777 Now do "Spineless"-- same album.
Yes, I'll have to do that!

RIP Ted Kirkpatrick. 😔
Rip Ted Kirkpatrick , great drummer
Are you going to do more metal Christian bands and from Europe as well
Absolutely!
That sound is a cranial drill.

I forgot to mention that in the video they actually do a re-enactment of what the songs are about.
Will Tourniquet continue as a band without Ted Kirkpatrick ?
No they won't be
Other original members of the band started a new outfit last year, called Flood.
It’s awesome. Sounds like vintage Tourniquet.
Ted was a genius writing every instrument pieces. He just needed musicians to play what he wrote.
