    The Flesh Prevails is seriously one of the best metal albums of all time, at least top 3. I cannot put into words how perfect it is.
    Helps that it was a tiny beacon of light during a particularly lonely time for me, alone in Nebraska working nights at a hotel. The Flesh Prevails just made me feel at peace. Sadness wasn't forgotten, but it was dullened just enough for the hope to peek in.
    Musicians like Scott are doing God's work. Maybe one day He'll do it himself, but until then I'm so grateful to have music like this to lean on.

  • @Belodri
    @Belodri 4 роки тому +36

    Still one of my favourite songs of all time. Has a kind of surreal, dreamy vibe to it as well as a feeling of longing. Words can't really describe it, it's just magical!

    Much like Satriani, Scott Carstairs is one of the few guitarist that really take you on a journey. Scott's better at "atmospherics", if that's a term. One of my all-time favorite guitarists. His writing and composition are second to none. Most "relistenable" guitarist in my playthrough roster. You catch something new, even years later. 🤘
