Metal Blade Records
Produced by Metal Blade Records' Bill Metoyer, Tourniquet recorded "Psycho Surgery" at Mixing Lab A &amp; B studio in Garden Grove, California. Guitarist Erik Mendez and the bassist Victor Macias joined Tourniquet for this album, forming the quintet known as Tourniquet's classic line-up. After the release of "Stop the Bleeding" in 1990, the band caught Metal Blade Records' attention. Metal Blade Records released "Psycho Surgery" to the secular market, leaving the Christian market to original label Intense Records.
