Sourced context
Tourniquet is an American heavy metal band that Ted Kirkpatrick, Guy Ritter, and Gary Lenaire formed in Los Angeles in 1987. Tourniquet played a mix of thrash and progressive metal, and was influenced by classical and world music. The band earned six GMA Dove Award nominations and won multiple recognitions from the readers of HM Magazine, including "Favorite Band of the 1990s" and "Favorite Album of the 1990s" for Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance (1992). They released ten studio albums, two live albums, four compilation albums, one EP, and several video releases. The last Tourniquet lineup consisted of Ted Kirkpatrick (drums) and Aaron Guerra. The band disbanded after Kirkpatrick's death in 2022. Lenaire reformed the band in 2025 with Ritter, former vocalist Luke Easter, and bassist Anna Sentina. Ritter left the following year.
