3.5 great | jybt | July 25th 12 | Antiseptic Bloodbath kind of sounds like just another Tourniquet album when we were expecting something more extreme and risky from this Christian technical thrash metal standby. The group has refined their formula and musicianship, especially in vocalist Luke Easter's energetic, confident performance, has branched out lyrically as well by tackling various aspects of theology and spirituality and delivering a deserved ode to Tyke, the famously abused Hawaiian circus elephant, and delivered a crunchy but clean mix, but the bass is nondescript and the heavily compressed mastering is reprehensible from an experienced band and producer dedicated to producing quality metal productions. I expected a little better from Tourniquet this time, but it's not bad and remains recommended.

4.0 excellent | Emim | December 11th 12 | Yet another solid entry from this thrash standby. The musicianship is topnotch as always, and the song writing has improved from the often plodding nature of Most and Rust. The lyrics and vocals are still far from the peak of Psychosurgery, but Luke Easter continues to grow more comfortably into his range, though tone is still an acquired taste. In any case, the most redeemable aspect of Tourniquet is still the brilliantly composed instrumentation which after all these years hasn't seen worthy competition.
