The Collected Works of Tourniquet

The Collected Works of Tourniquet is the first compilation album by the American Christian metal band Tourniquet. It was released on Intense Records in 1996. The album features fourteen songs: eleven songs are taken directly from the band's previous releases, though "The Skeezix Dilemma" has been edited in that it uses the majority of the studio recording and segues into the live version's ending from Intense Live Series, Vol. 2 (1993), and it introduces two new songs, "Perfect Night for a Hanging" and "The Hand Trembler".
