![Extol "Labyrinth Of Ill + Exigency" (Reaction Video) Death Metal [2023]](/img/1.gif)
My favorite band ever! RIP Ted Kirkpatrick!!! They had a album planned for 2022 but sadly Ted Passed from a rare lung condition.
This is the first I've heard of this. Awww man. I grew up with Ted and Tourniquet all the way from their first release.
WHAT?!? I did not know that Ted passed…how sad for us, but our loss is heaven’s gain! My prayers and condolences go out to him and his family.
So glad I was able to see them once in my life
This album got me into metal 30 years ago. RIP Ted.
I was in major need of some Christian metal in the 90s and discovered Tourniquet and Deliverance. I love seeing your reaction to this amazing band and song. In 2003 I drove from Vancouver Canada to southern Washington state to see them live. It was a really cool show and my buddy (not a huge metalhead; came for the drive) caught one of Ted’s drumsticks and then grabbed the setlist off the floor after the show and gave them to me. All of the band stayed a long time to talk to the fans after the show. My buddy was most interested in talking to the bass player because he was wearing an Oilers hockey sweater. Great memories.
Wonderful story Scott I love hearing stuff like that! 🤘🤘
Deliverance were my introduction to industrial metal. Tourniquet was always my favorite. Southern Washington State? TOMFest or was it somewhere else? TOMFest was always awesome.
@@Farinhir I actually just recently found my ticket. It was Longview Washington just Tourniquet, not even an opening band. It was in an old school theatre and a fantastic show.
@@konnan I am jealous. And I would have saved that ticket also. I was so poor. Going to TOMFest, which costed like $60 or $80 (I forget) with camping for 3 days was an extreme expense. Remember, we are talking a time when $7.50 or so was the minimum wage in Oregon.
This entire album still holds up.
I saw Tourniquet at a large music festival in 1991 called Cornerstone. This was when "Psycho Surgery" was released. Bruce Franklin (guitarist for Trouble) joined them onstage for a cover of Trouble's "The Tempter". I'll never forget that show. Unbelievable!
Gary Lenaire is responsible for guitars and half the vocals. Check out his new band/album "Flood"
Tourniquet has long been my favourite band. It started when I listened Vanishing Lessons, still one of my favourites mostly due to theire catchy melodies and riffs. The amazing thing about Tourniquet is that they have released quite a lot of albums with different styles, although you always can recognize their touch and feel. I personally don't think any of their albums is bad, although the last ten years it became more of a solo project, and their live shows were sub par in that period. I have seen them four times (all in The Netherlands).
In my opinion one of the best albums vanishing lessons 💯
They are Christian metal. Ted the drummer is also a renowned classical pianist. He used to sell medical equipment hence the medical terminology in a lot of the songs. Ted is currently the only original member in the band. The guitarist, bass player, and lead singer on this album are currently in a band called Flood. Stop the bleeding, Psyco surgery and this album are their best. They got signed to Metal blade record for awhile.
Ted also, briefly, played in trouble. If your not familiar, psalm 9 is a great record to start with. Growing up as a drummer, Ted was always compared to Neil peart. And in a lot of circles considered to be the better drummer. What ever side of the drum throne you chose, Ted, and the whole band , produced some discordance axis quality music while staying true to their convictions! Rip Ted
Don’t think the piano bit is correct. Ted couldn’t read music. He’s said this in interviews.
Ted unfortunately passed away last year. Very sad, such a talented guy.
Lol great reaction. Tourniquet is awesome. A Dog’s Breakfast, Ark of Suffering, The Skeezix Dilemma, Acid Head, Drawn and Quartered. All good
tourniquet and living sacrifice still on my playlist and still some of my favorite songs
Great band !!! Una de mis preferidas trie metal never dies!!! From puerto rico greetings my cd preferido stop the bleeding god bless all metal heads
Thank You so much for doing this first listen, at their live shows there would be this character that would come out on stage all dressed in black wearing a ceramic mask and flames would shoot out from the eyes of the mask, crazy stuff!! I remember the drummer Ted getting in trouble with Christian world because he would drink from a bottle of water and spit it out from behind the drums, LOL!!! Thank You again, love the humor! FYI, because of your First Reactions I'm hooked on HAVOK & Dead Daises
"Is this the same song" is the most frequent phrase I hear from those who are just learning about Touniquet.
Great band! I saw them in Sweden! I listened to them so much as a teenager!
Now do Believer, Trilogy of Knowledge!!!
So that was the 3rd album they released with the founding members, singer Guy Ritter and guitarist/singer Gary Lenaire. Guy left after this album and Gary played on a couple more before leaving. Guy and Gary have sinced formed a new band also with former Tourniquet guitarist Erik Mendez, check out the band Flood album is called Polarized. Flood also featured David Husvik of Extol on drums.
Flood
Sad news. Ted Kirkpatrick passed away on August 19, 2022 from IPF, a rare terminal lung disease.
They were called HOLY DANGER, before they got signed up on a LABEL. ONE WAY by HOLY DANGER this cassette came out under this name,listen to the whole tape on RUclips,ONE WAY by HOLY DANGER pre tourniquet
Loving your responses to these bands that shaped my musical tastes. Huge Tourniquet fan and for me Vanishing Lessons and Microscopic View of a Telescopic Realm are my two fav albums, but there are bangers on all their stuff.
Phenomenal, phenomenal album. Yes, check out the entire thing. Awesome Christian band. Great live show, especially during this time frame. Thanks for reacting - been waiting for this one!
1 of my favorite albums all time
This album was way ahead of its time. So dark. This album got me into metal. Their first 4 albums are solid gold!
Dang! They're pretty good! I enjoyed that one! Great reaction!
Tourniquet was awesome. Sad news, Ted ( the drummer ) passed away last year 2022. lots of great songs. deep medical stuff.
Yes, Tourniquet was probably the best thrash and progressive Christian metal band out there. I used to no-life this band. Never got to see them live (being poor sucks). RIP Ted. Will miss your art.
Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance was my favorite album for so long.
Sadly, with the passing of Ted Kirkpatrick (The drummer, band leader, and song writer) the band is not still going.
Ted just passed in the last few days. Amazing drummer. Luke Easter doesn't sing this sing. Never saw them with their first singer. One of the best Christian bands from my day. If you want another band to try, do X-Sinner.
I love your reactions to Christian Rock n' Roll, Metal, inc, Shane! Fun AND funny!
One of my favorite bands back in the 90ties. Thanks for this reaction.
You really should do a reaction of the songs "broken chromosomes", "a dogs breakfast" and/or "ark of suffering".
Also check out the new band Flood with 3 of the original members of Tourniquet. They have put out an album last month and it sounds killer!
Gerard we actually have Broken Chromosomes coming up in two weeks!
@@ShaneDiablo really looking forward to that. You certainly won't be dissapointed.
Yes, love Tourniquet. Seen them in Milwaukee and at Cornerstone Music Fest -- the drummer Ted did a wild drum solo at the shows with his big drum set, and I got to talk to Ted after the show, they are Christians. Pathogenic is probably my fav album of theirs since they pulled out all the tricks especially on Tubercles of Ossification. They are probably pretty old dudes by now, I don't really keep up with them. Thanks for the react video!
Thank you my friend for hangin' around!
Lover of all metal and I stand by the statement that Ted is the best metal drummer ever! RIP Ted. Such a loss. Great album though.
awesome awesome band, love the mixture of classical music and thrash. Stop The Bleeding is my fav.
R.I.P Ted Kirkpatrick
Circling back, catching up on some of my past favorite bands of yesteryear.
Seventh Angel, I hope someone put on the list.
Ted Kirkpatrick is a world class drummer, he plays 7 instruments..
OK let's talk about Tourniquet. The band was originally formed by Gary Lenaire and Guy Ritter. If you listen to Stop The Bleeding and Psycho Surgery, Gary does the "harsh" vocals and Guy does the high vocals much like King Diamond. Ted Kirkpatrick joined after the band was initially formed. They added Mark Lewis on guitars and Erik James on bass. The second album added Erik Mendez on guitar and Victor Macias on bass Guy left after this album due to not liking the direction the band was moving musically. This is when Luke Easter joined the band. Gary left the band after the after the Vanishing Lessons album. After his leaving Ted pretty much took over.
For me the band went down hill fast after Gary and Guy left the band and Ted took control of the name and band.
As to your question, yes Tourniquet is still going, mostly it's now just Ted and whatever studio musicians he can get to record. Luke left the band in 2015 and Les Carlson of Bloodgood sings for them for the live shows. Tourniquet is set to release a new album in 2022 possibly 2023.
If you want to hear what Tourniquet could have been go check out a band called Flood. Gary Lenaire Guy Ritter and Erik Mendez along with two others just put put an album called Polarized.
Yes they are a Christian band. Mostly now a days Ted pushes his Vegan life style and animal rights in the music.
Couldn't have said it better. The first 4 albums are what I mostly grab. And I'm probably in the minority but VL is my favorite Tourniquet album. But I dig the 3 that came before it quite well. Microscopic isn't bad. It has its moments. Moth is decent I suppose. I really like Marty Friedman's guest guitar work. But yeah, excellent synopsis of the band, Michael.
Yep.... first 3 albums are quintessential Tourniquet. Even VL was too much of a departure, and dare I say a dumbing down of their signature sound. Luke Easter has nothing on Guy Ritter, who was by far the most dynamic voice on those early albums. Many layers and emotional grit to his voice. After Gary left, the riffs became somewhat predictable, although Trivializing on the acoustic album was definitely back in the ballpark... sans Guy of course. FLOOD does sound great... but one has to admit, that when it comes to the drums... Ted was dynamite with the original dudes.
@@fluxkapacitor8460 Well said! as I miss the late great Ted Kirkpatrick! And, I grabbed the first 3 albums and pretty much will mainly. stick to them!
*Thanks for the lesson in Tourniquet! ... I am fairly knowledgeable as far as when it comes to standard heavy metal music. However, I never played much Christian thrash back in the day As I was into the bands like, Metallica, Def Leppard, Dio Judas Priest, Ozzy, Metal Church, Kiss, Iron Maiden However I discovered Deliverance some time ago and even dabbled in WhiteCross a bit, however when I heard Tourniquets Ark of Suffering, I was hooked. Now I know that was one of Teds animal activist concepts which I applaud him for, and he gives the skins one ''hell of a beatdown'' no pun intended, yet I really was taken by Gary Lenaire's ''low growls'' if you will. And obviously loved Guy Ritters high octave range and vocal style, So now I like the best of both worlds Standard Rock and Thrash like some of the bands I forementioned and plus also the likes of Slayer, Testament, Overkill, Fates Warning etcetera. But now I feel as if my newly broadened horizons have been expanded in part due to Torniquets music and so I want to thank you @buemb for the informative comment you left, for people like me who want to learn more about this and other Christian thrash bands and music. I am now wanting to check out the band flood you mention and so glad to know that a couple TALENTED Christian THRASH VETERIANS such as Gary Lenaire and Guy Ritter are still making music, I NOW want to check out polarized hope it kicks A** !!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HEADS UP!*
The only thing i could add besides Ted dying last year is, Marty Friedman (former Megadeth) appeared on i think one album, but after vanishing lesson i haven't really haven't listened to them
Ted was amazing behind the kit. Psychosurgery, Vanishing Lessons, and Where Moth and Rust Destroy are three songs of many I could recommend.
I loved their debut album Stop the Bleeding but never could really get into them beyond that. Would love your reaction to the Christian thrash metal band Believer and their song Vile Hypocrisy. Checked out the Resurrection Band vid and enjoyed it. Thanks for all your hard work bro. That break in the middle of the song had a Black Sabbath feel to it.
Killer video! I remember hearing this band on their debut..."Stop the Bleeding"... They're still the greatest band! Missed this era of this band and alot of change of line ups... Great video brother! Another band you should check out is called... Sacrament...
this definitely their best lineup. Check out the band Flood
Ted Kilpatrick the drummer who died is one of the best drummers ever and this band is one of the best bands ever
Still my favorite metal record. It is simply dynamic.
RIP Ted!
More Tourniquet please...first two albums.
I saw them at the CORNERSTONE FESTIVALS, CORNERSTONE FESTIVALS WAS A CHRISTIAN ROCK FESTIVAL THAT ALL THE CHRISTIAN BANDS WOULD PLAY FOR 4 STRAIGHT DAYS EVERY YEAR, THE FESTIVAL LASTED FROM 1984 to 2012
Pathogenic...is my favorite thrash album ever. After that would be Sacrament's "Haunts of Violence", particularly their song "Carry the Corpse". Check it out!
This is my favorite Tourniquet album; Phantom Limb is great. RIP Ted K.
As I mentioned in an earlier video, Ted Kirkpatrick is the main song writer who frequently said he would listen to classical music while he was writing the songs. He was also a Niel Diamond fan
Kirkpatrick was also the 3rd guitarist, especially the crazier guitar lines.
Yes I’m living the dream, I’m actually a retired veteran. I ran across tourniquet about 20 years ago when I bought Where Moth and Rust Destroy. Thought it decent and really had no idea they were Christian until many years ago. Thanks for all you do Bro! Cheers!
The original singer is Guy Ritter.
I have all their CDs
Dave Mustaine Said at one interview He learned all of the guitar from Scycho Surgery album, but couldnt quite figure out the title song, The Drummer wrote that solo, lol
Tourniquet is insanely good. Standout albums Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance, Antiseptic Bloodbath, Microscopic View of a Telescopic Realm, Where Moth and Rust Destroy. They are working on a new one.
Review ‘Acid Head’ and ‘Vanishing Lessons’ on Tourniquet’s album Vanishing Lessons. Very tasty guitar riffage.
Best Christian metal band I've ever heard, and it isn't close. One of the five best metal bands overall. Favorite album: Psychosurgery. Favorite songs: Broken Chromosomes, Tears of Korah, Viento Borrascoso, Tomb of Gilgamesh, Ark of Suffering, Phantom Limb, more...
I remember this band from late 80s and earlier 90s ... this is classical song structure. I did see them live, and yes the drummer plays that fast without the use of a drum machine.
Yes, the drummer is a classical pianist player as well.
That been said, they are okay to listen to, but I have never liked them enough to purchase any of their albums. I think they prefer to be known as a metal band, who are christians and they write about things they care about ... this would also include their faith.
I love me some old school Tourniquet! Anymore, it’s just Ted Kirkpatrick (drummer) with a host of guest musicians. But the last album Staring at Medusa was really good. You should do Psycho Surgery next! That or Broken Chromosomes!
Hey Shane- since you mentioned Believer and haven't reviewed them yet, I would recomment the following:
Debut Extraction From Mortality (1989) - I would go with the opening track "Unite". A deeper dive would be D.O.S. (Desolation of Sodom).
Second Album Sanity Obscure (1990)- I would go with the title track "Sanity Obscure" and for a deeper dive, "Nonpoint".
Actually saw them with Sepultura in the early 90's, would definately give them a listen.
This is my first time hearing Tourniquet tbh. I've listened to tons of Christian rock, metal, metal core, thrash and even rap. I knew of this band but never checked them out. Now I'm going to to add to my collection.
Ark of Suffering is a banger from Tourniquet
Just got into Tourniquet, Superheavy, and covers all types of style. They sometimes sound like in this song Slayer, Robert Halford, Zakk Wylde, and of course like Bruce Dickinson
Hey guy, nice reaction ! Hehehe
Thanks Fernando! I hope you are doin well my friend!
@@ShaneDiablo yeah, I do.
Thanx brother!
Tremendo discazo
I have listened to this band since day 1 (Stop The Bleeding) Honestly I have a hard time picking a favorite song or album, though I lean more towards the albums where Guy Ritter did the singing or some of the singing. Which are the first 3 , Vanishing Lessens is when Luke easter took over vocal duty. Sadly Ted Kirkpatrick passed away and the rest of the remaining members stated they are not going to continue with Tourniquet which to me makes since as Ted (I believe) was the only original member left. Man you need to check out at Min the first 3 albums and specifically songs Ready Or Not, "The Test for Leprosy" from Stop The Bleeding, from Psycho Surgery I suggest "Broken Chromosomes", Spineless, "Dysfunctional Domicile" and finally from Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance Try "Phantom Limb", "Theodicy on Trial" and of course the insane sounding "The Skeezix Dilemma"
Sorry to say this is their last album after the passing of Ted..
One of my favorite Tourniquet albums.. They are Christian
Awesome band, awesome song.
The bio you read is misleading... In the early days they were a 5 piece band.
The first 3 albums are still my favorites
- Stop the Bleeding
- Psycho Surgery
- Pathogenic...
If you haven't already you need to check out the song, 'Ark of Suffering ' from Stop the Bleeding.
Victor Macias on bass
This album is great!
Psycho surgery and this album were my favorites but all good
Love Tourniquet, enjoyed your reaction. Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance refers to spiritual blindness and the song talks about how God can take it away so you can see clearly: “The wisdom of sight comes from the father of lights”
She first three albums did not have arron or Luke on them Guy Ritter was the original vocalist and and Gary Leneir the original lead guitarist both now in the band Flood along with tourniquets original bassist. Ted has kept the name Tourniquet but recently he has used all guest vocalists.
They were still active at the time of this video. No longer. Sadly, Ted Kirkpatrick passed away, way too soon not long ago
One of my fav albums they are indeed christian thrash all their albums are killer love gazing at madusa
So, me and a lot of other christian artist from Central America did a Tribute Album, called Central Amercian Tribute to Tourniquet, I did the "Viento Borrascoso" cover, that was the last album Ted Kirkpatrick produced before his passing in August 19th 2022. I would like you to check some bands out, it has official videos and stuff
great band
I like it. I enjoy the tempo changes. I'm not going to lie, I get tired of the 'growl' singers. Harvey's bass solo blew my mind.
These guys blew my mind back in the day. They were highly progressive, aggressive, and a few more gressives for good measure. The first album of theirs I heard was Stop The Bleeding. It was raw and the drums were muddy, guitars the classic metal tone, in another word, perfect.
ANOTHER Band in the same rare genre of Christian Thrash is Believer. The song "Nonpoint" from the album "Sanity Obscure" would be a good listen.
They were not a trio on this album, line up was Gary Lenair guitars, erik mendez guitars, victor macias bass, guy ritter vocals and ted kirkpatrick drums
The song Phantom Limb on this album is really good!
You’re incredible, brother! I love your energy. If you really want to listen to their trippiest songs, do The Skeezix Dilemma.
I didn't even have to watch the video to know this was going to be good. Shane reviewing Tourniquet, what could be better?
I actually seen these guys play at a church and the preacher/minister/pastor, whatever he was, rode a Harley. The church was no bigger than the average size night club. I used a fake press pass to get in for free.if there was such a thing as a place called Hell, I'd burn there.
Definitely do Phantom Limb. About amputation. Best song on the album to me.
rip ted enjoy heaven
You owe it to yourself to do a reaction to Besprinkled in Scarlet Horror. IMO, their best song. Where a padded suit because you'll be blown away.
It's more than 3 members Gary Lenaire was on that song ok let's mention him.
Deus seja louvado 🙏
Try the tempter gary does the vocals on this and guy ritters vocals on tears of korah awesome
Psycho Surgery if you haven’t done so…please!!!
Could you please please do impending doom serpents tongue
Try "you get what you pray for" from Stop the bleeding. an ass kicker.
Yep that are a Christian band
Can you react to the song "He died" from Sacred Warrior?
kirk hammett-isms at times...plus a little nuclear Assault thrown in......not bad
i became a skeezik
Rip Ted Kirkpatrick damn I can't believe Im here on a RUclips video saying this in the year 2022 this sucks this year the Christian metal and rock community has lost two of its biggest champions we Lost Ted Kirkpatrick and Michael bloodgood of the band bloodgood the founding member of that band this world and this nation is in total disarray somehow we have to replace these champions this sucks
I don’t know who wrote that their chief influence was Iron Maiden. I really, really doubt that.. First three albums were great, although Psycho Surgery was way too short, while it contained some of the high points of the band’s career. Almost all of their albums have some hidden gems in them. Weakest albums must be Crawl to China and Vanishing lessons. ”Modern era” Tourniquet has given us some incredibly sweet tracks here and there despite being hardly a band anymore. For example Gazing at medusa and the quirky cover ”Getshemane” that relies heavily on the incredible vocals. But in the past 15 years or so, the ”band” has at times published some astonishingly irrelevant and poorly executed pseudo artistic attempts at maintaining an image of a ”thinking man’s band” (god I hate that idiom..). ”Lions” first comes to mind as one of the strange tracks that seem pointless. I don’t mind creativity or some strange flair if it’s catchy, but a lion’s roar hardly qualify as such.. Anyway, the band has been quite influential and what I really love about them is, after all, the creativity and that they’ve always had an original, unique sound.
test
Ted was the drummer for the doom metal band Trouble for a while back in the 80s. Not sure about the song choice. You haven’t heard Tourniquet bless you’ve heard Stop the Bleeding (particularly Ark of Suffering or Get What you Pray For) or Psycho Surgery. They got a little obscure on this one.
This band was banned from mtv...it was considered christian metal ...banned for being too graphic
Vengeance Rising is actually not a Christian metal band anymore as most of the original members left once the sing converted to Satanism.
Of all their original album covers the best were that of the Stop the bleeding and Pathogenic.. All the pointless thousands of remasters of remasters of remasters they released had atrocious cover art that made the re-releases even more pointless.
