Tourniquet is a Christian thrash metal band from the USA, named after the medical device called a tourniquet, based out of Los Angeles, California. The current members of Tourniquet are Ted Kirkpatrick (drums), Luke Easter (vocals), Steve Andino (bass) and Aaron Guerra (guitar, vocals) [1]. One of the bands trademarks is the incorporation of classical music into their guitar riffs. The band's latest release, Where Moth and Rust Destroy, features special guests Marty Friedman, formerly of Megadeth, and Bruce Franklin, formerly of Trouble, on lead guitar.
