The Slow Cosmic Voyage to Wisdom is the fourth compilation album and the last album by the American Christian metal band Tourniquet. It was released on Pathogenic Records in 2020.[1] The album features ten songs. Among Tourniquet tracks the album also includes original and cover songs from Ted Kirkpatrick's solo career. The songs are the slowest and doomiest tracks by Tourniquet and Kirkpatrick.[2]

The album includes two Black Sabbath covers and a cover of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar. The formers feature Eric Wagner and Trevor McNevan, respectively, and the latter features Tim "Ripper" Owens, on vocals. Gethsemane was initially released as Kirkpatrick's solo single earlier in the same year.[3] This compilation is its first release in a physical media.

The version of In Death We Rise from Where Moth and Rust Destroy is a remixed version with louder vocals than in the original.

The album has one new song: Mission to MACS J1149+2223 Lensed Star 1. It is an over 25-minute instrumental drone metal track[4] and became the last full track Tourniquet ever recorded and released before Kirkpatrick's death and the band's end.
