Tourniquet- Broken Chromosomes (ALBUM-Psycho Surgery)

[themaxeatsfood]

This is up there with tool IMO, I am awestruck.

[lackthrowofficial]

@OnYouGlenn no, , in my case, not sad to the point of needing therapy/anti-depressants. still, its unfortunate. that being said, i'd never diminish the skill these guys displayed esp. on early albums like 'psycho surgery'. or their commitments to certain things like christianity, freakin' sweet thrash, animal rights, veganism,etc. even if i disagree w/them. it is a fantastic album all in all, honestly i wish more people could have heard it. in fact, its in my top 10 faves for sure.

[lackthrowofficial]

there's nothing about these songs to bash... the musicianship is AMAZing. the fact that these these guys are christians is just a sad fact outside of the music.

[OnYouGlenn]

@lackthrowofficial "the fact that these guys are christians is just a sad fact .." Sad fact? LOL!! It makes you "sad" that someone believes in Christ? Are you sad to the point of needing therapy? Maybe an anti-depressant?

[MetalShado]

SHUT. THE. HELL. UP. ABOUT. CHRISTIANS. AND. ENJOY. THE. MUSIC.

[lackthrowofficial]

@MetalShado exactly right. cats on both sides of the religious aspect have been derailed. it really is GREAT music.

[peacehippie999]

This is Christian metal?! Damn, I'm Pagan and I dig these instrumentals... Woah...

[ThingsAtPlaces]

@peacehippie999 I'm Anti-Christian and I like this shit

[lackthrowofficial]

@ThingsAtPlaces how can you NOT?:)

[VikasMorr]

@peacehippie999 I know what you're saying man, I can't stand most Christian "metal" bands, but when they rock, they seriously ROCK.

[harmonydspr]

I really like the style of this group, I have this cd:), very original.

[953darkangel]

[TheLeftHand88]

Those lyrics are very sad. Never heard that song.

[BloodySpinningScythe]

i just got ass kicked by this song :O

[oldmanstauf]

Man this brings back memories. Bought this cassette the day it came out. Haven't heard it in years due to no player! Tourniquet lost something with their release of Vanishing Lessons. This here is good stuff.

[KakashiOfSharingan1]

Does anyone know the name of the song, that starts out with Organ, or Church Organ thing, then turns into rocks. for Tourniquet

[EruditeFuzz]

@KakashiOfSharingan1 Besprinkled in Scarlet Horror.

[KakashiOfSharingan1]

@EruditeFuzz thank youu

[Donlyification]

You're right redruner...

[opie1kanobie]

@HumboldtFiend So true...but Jesus did say Christians would be hated and persecuted because they hate Him...so...it's to be expected.

[TheLedezma76]

since i discovered christian metal in the early 90s i've never been disappointed...

[WthyrPendraeg]

So must emotion in this song. Its great. :D

[MonsterMashKiller]

@HumboldtFiend well said.

[KakashiOfSharingan1]

@MonsterMashKiller Yea, i have All of Tourniquets Albums, and Songs, On I-tunes :D

[KakashiOfSharingan1]

[shnrbtlle18]

@nickaaaaaa94 you seem like a very angry person, I'm not going to sink to your kind by laughing about the fact that you can't spell Christian : ) But thats OK, I will pray you find God and your pain will go away. GET SAVED MA FRIEND, trust me, it's worth it. God will never let you down thats a promise!!

[HippieChic1970]

Still a favorite.Blew the dust off of this one this week...a nice revisit.

[congeeks]

Give them props...I dare any of you to try and spread a good message in a genre of music that is made up of doom. The talent is what you should appreciate. Christian or not.

[redruner100]

guys what do you gain from bashing Christians????? If you don't like the song then you don't have to listen to it

[effisense]

ah youngsters figure it out...it will take time...just listen to your self...then again........

[RMG209]

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BANDS EVER!!!!

and i'm not even Xtian...

[younged777]

I always thought I was too old to enjoy heavy metal (I'm 49). But Tourniquet quite simply was one of the most underrated bands of the 90's. I've always loved their music and always will. Guy Ritter was the most original vocalist I've ever heard of. He's more original than Rob Halford (one of the best voices in metal).

A little message to Ted Kirkpatrick: Ted get the old gang back together and record some new stuff! Please!!!!!

[metaltildeath4eva]

This album is so fucking UNDERATED!! This is one of the most kick ass songs of all time! It's a shame they didn't get as big as Stryper. This song is insane!!!

[Nothingineternity]

@metaltildeath4eva Well think about the time frame, Stryper hit the scene when glam metal was big, Tourniquet came along right at the end of the first thrash movement and didn't really get noticed until grunge was really popular so the timing for them was just really bad.

[metaltildeath4eva]

@Nothingineternity Yeah...you're right. I just felt bad for them. Because they were waaay more superior music wise, than a lot of bands in the scene. In my opinion one of the greatest in Thrash Ever!!

[relworp69]

Awesome fucking song!

[taztherocker]

Awesome...

[Nothingineternity]

first 15 seconds remind me of Fear of The Dark by Iron Maiden

[BigBozSicenunow]

@Nothingineternity,thats what christian metal is all about,being CHEAP!!!

[Nothingineternity]

@BigBozSicenunow Dude you have no idea how ignorant you just sounded

[MonsterMashKiller]

@Nothingineternity yeah, i don't get it either

[coldmon11]

@Nothingineternity yea lol... i guess BigBozsicenunow is the one with broken chromosomes lol

[razorhed1]

@BigBozSicenunow you just dont understand the term CHRISTIAN METAL

[iamsephiroth]

@BigBozSicenunow are you retarded? lol irony

[BigBozSicenunow]

@iamsephiroth,has christian metal created any scene,NO,all it has done is ripped it off & ended up being pur of print,LMFAO!!!

[coldmon11]

@BigBozSicenunow whats wrong with it? i dont have i prob with it.. i rock out to some lamb of god and children of bodom and then pop in some tourniquet all the time... metal is metal... simple as that.. its about being heavy and agressive. tourniquet does an amazing job at both.

[Farinhir]

@BigBozSicenunow You are very ignorant to anything in the metal scene I can see. Ted Kirkpatrick of Tourniquet is considered one of the best drummers in the world. The band has been considered groundbreaking in both Christian and secular scenes since they started all the way up to when Aaron left. Even then Marty Freedman (formerly of Megadeath) helped them release their "When Moth and Rust Destroy" album. And tourniquet still makes their albums. Their most recent original release was in 2003

[nickaaaaaa94]

@BigBozSicenunow are you serious lol? i mean i dont like this but i'm not gonna be bashing it cuz its christian.

christian metal has definitlely forsure made a scene. ignorant douchbag. lol

[BigBozSicenunow]

@nickaaaaaa94,what scene you dumbshit,chriatian metal always goes out of print cause its shit!

[nickaaaaaa94]

@BigBozSicenunow are you kidding me? hah dude youd be suprised. check out some christian metal bands and listen to them for the music, not the message, and go into it with a good attitude..youll be surprisedddd. i download new christian metal everydayyy and they're all super good ha

[WthyrPendraeg]

@BigBozSicenunow

Obvious troll is obvious

[MonsterMashKiller]

@BigBozSicenunow very clever. i'd like to hear more intelligent things from you. keep it up.

[sabastianthelion]

So good

[matzchase]
