On the present and future of Tourniquet. Ted recently said: “First, Tourniquet is not going away. A new album is coming in 2016”
He added: “The new material is very heavy (and sometimes beautiful), and full of melody and twists. Vocals will be with a new singer – not a collection of vocalists (although I love doing that, as you know by now – wait ‘til you hear the guys on the Sabbath tunes!)”
Ted‘s latest solo album “Onward To Freedom” (an anthem for the voiceless) was mixed and mastered by ace producer Josh Schroeder / Random Awesome Studios and has been released on November 11th. 2014.
Ted is joined by an impressive array of guest artists on “Onward to Freedom”. The title track (released as a lyric video on October 1, 2014) features Michael Sweet (Stryper) on vocals and lead guitar, and Mattie Montgomery (For Today) on vocals. Other guests include guitarists Marty Friedman (ex Megadeth), Chris Poland (ex Megadeth), Bruce Franklin (Trouble), Tony Palacios (Guardian), Rex Carroll (Whitecross), and Aaron Guerra (Tourniquet).
Guest vocalists include Dug Pinnick (King’s X, KXM), Gabbie Rae, Kevin Young (Disciple), Blake Suddath (Your Memorial), Nick Villars (Sleep Star Ignition), and Luke Easter (Tourniquet), plus powerful narrations by seven time Emmy Award winning actor Ed Asner and Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Family Channel starAshley Argota.
