STOP THE BLEEDING COLLECTOR'S EDITION

by Tourniquet

supported by

metaltyger The riffs and songwriting are amazing. I feel like it's more raw than the follow up albums. Progressive Thrash / Speed awesomeness. Guy Ritter's vocals are the most King Diamond-ish on this album, although he's also got a really cool lower register. The remaster sounds excellent. Favorite track: You Get What You Pray For.

Micah J. Rodriguez Good, hard heavy metal. Compares favorably to Metallica and Megadeth. Favorite track: Harlot Widow And The Virgin Bride.

Few bands have hit the scene with a debut album that was a “too hot to 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! 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 extremely 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.”

The 2020 reissue is reloaded with a 16-page insert with loads of never-before-seen band pics, and four exclusive bonus tracks never-before-released (two live tracks and two demo tracks). And, you also get an all-new 2020 remaster by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound which makes this THE ultimate collector’s dream for deluxe reissues!

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival. BoneWalker
