Tourniquet - Vanishing Lessons
Review by Adrie Ibeng Bojan
Vanishing Lessons is a hard-hitting album by Tourniquet that showcases the band's signature style of heavy metal with a message. The album features powerful guitar riffs, thundering drums, and intense vocals that are sure to leave a lasting impression on listeners.
The album opens with the title track, "Vanishing Lessons," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving rhythm and thought-provoking lyrics. From there, the band delves into a range of topics, including social issues, faith, and personal struggles.
One standout track is "Acid Head," which addresses drug addiction and the destructive nature of substance abuse. The song's lyrics are both poignant and raw, and the band's performance is nothing short of electrifying.
Another standout track is "Broken Chromosomes," which explores the topic of genetic disorders and the impact they can have on individuals and families. The song's haunting melody and emotional lyrics make it a standout on the album.

I don't know? 12 or so
This just blew me away!!
I think the only drum solo I had heard at the time was moby dick
All I will say is this... A lot of Christian Rock sucks nanners. This song doesn't. It's actually good. First and foremost, because it's... ABOUT SOMETHING. Like "Jars of Clay" it's actually about the Christian doctrine of eschewing your material belongings, like what John Lennon espoused. And not just this poisonous vapid (vaguely chauvinist) "Dove Foundation' rebranding, where Christianity is hollowed out, and used as a non-critical, self-affirming shell for thinly veiled white supremacy rhetoric.
