Crawl to China

Crawl to China is the 1997 album by the Christian metal band Tourniquet, released on Benson Records. This album took the band's style to a more simplistic rock sound. The lyrics of the song "The Tell-Tale Heart" are based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story of the same title. In 2009 the album was remastered by Bill Metoyer with a new track order and the instrumental version of "If I Was There" was added to the album. New album art was done by Rex Zachary and a new booklet layout was done with musical notes and lyric commentary; new band photos were also added.

The drummer Ted Kirkpatrick said in a later interview that the band themselves consider the album one of their favorites. He also says that afterwards many of the fans have begun to appreciate Crawl to China, though "the Europeans do not really seem to care for the album".[4]
