FLOTSAM AND JETSAM - Wading through the Darkness

[DarthMohammed]

One of the best songs on a truly great album.

[bahhhmeran]

This album got/still gets me through tough times.

[Falcon191172]

To me ► No Place for Disgrace ◄ is one of the most importants metal albuns !!!

[nevermore142]

love this song

[80smetalking3]

this album start to finish was YEARS ahead of its time!!!! It sounds like it was released within the last 5 years and its from 93?!! awsome band... if you can find curato... buy it!!!

[ceci1974girl]

this band is totally awesome, this song is really one of their best. the lead singer is cute.

[blackiefnlawless]

I was tripping for the last time listening to this

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

This is a GREAT vi"DIO" and GREAT SONG!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!

[fleebis44]

better than most i hear today!!!

[mashui99]

I can't believe i've never heard of these guys before today, i can't believe how underrated they are either.

[sonorandesertman]

@mashui99......better late than never man. Check out some of their stuff. Doomsday for the Deceiver album is probably where I'd start.......or even Cuatro since you like this song. I think if this song was played on the radio all across the country....right now....it would increase their fan base and appreciation. Very good song. Okay...I'll shut up. Now please go check out the self titled song Doomsday for the Deceiver....hehehehe. Really though. Later dude.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

THIS IS "AWESOME"!!!!!!!!

[sonorandesertman]

Growing up in Phoenix I was fortunate enough to have this amazing band around quite often. Seems like they played every Halloween back in the 80's and 90's. I always told folks they ARE the best concert band in my opinion! I remember sitting at Compton Terrace...dark stage...start hearing "Me" and get up and run toward stage...so AWESOME! Celebrity theatre....circa 1987......Possessed opens...Metal Church next....then FLOTSAM and JETSAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThrashHQ]

Best thrash band. Hands down.

Okay sure there not the heaviest, but your not going to find a better singer than Eric EVER!

[darkside1exisle]

I remember seeing this video on Headbanger's Ball with Rikki Rachtman when they had F & J on set and were talking about this video and the Cuatro album. They were mentioning that if you watch the 'wading through the darkness' video and then pause it at various points or see it in slow motion, you can see in better detail the hidden background video. Well made video and song. The bass playing reminded me of Jason's bass style.

[gonlaz]

God Damn I miss the years when Metal ruled!

[shredtk]

Fucking amazing band, they're just raw, through and through metal!

[sharkymark368]

Eric A.K. Knudson you rock, I'll never forget Icon ceramics Christmas party where you jammed out with Jeff Ebel from Abusement Park , We all use to work for a Bong Manufacturer back in the day in North Phoenix what good memories.

[godslayer1972]

f&j fukn ROCKS

[Kylev2]

Whoever filmed and directed this video is a fucking genius.

[MetaITV]

i like how they all look like jason ahaha, even the drumer has his hair cut from back in 92

[longhairdubbers]

Feels like Life today!!!!

[rollthelosingdice]

don't mention metallica on this, they don't compare to flotsam and jetsam

[sinordby]

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM plAY better MUSIC than Mettalica I think.. Better Drummer by far(COKE LARS), better base of course, better vocal..(GUITARIST i DONT NEED TO MENTION)(OK FOR jAMES FOR THE SOLOS AND THE RIFFS, BUR KIRK MAKES ME FEEL SICK SORRY MET FANS).what more do I need to say.. Love the older stuff BEFORE Jason left.......sorry for bad english, i`m from Norway OK!

[numbskull1974]

@sinordby Flotsam & Jetsam never quit putting out awesome albums. Metallica died after the Black album!

[rollthelosingdice]

song is awsome

[evilmurderproduction]

I remember the band on Headbangers Ball way back, the singer stated that if you turn the contrast up really high the flashes you see are like another video. It's weird but true. There's more going on "in the darkness" of the video.

[badkelly]

jason leaving for metallica was the best thing that happened to that band as far as exposure was concerned. still a really good band with great vocals and not a lot of glam. wish they would have hit bigger

[jdr7510]

Great band. Great song. I remember seeing the premier of this on headbangers ball. There's a bunch of images floating around and showing up in odd locations. When it premiered they were guests on HB and said that if you turn up the brightness on your TV, the images would show up more clearly.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

AWESOME SONG AND VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leniwolf]

These guys sit up their with Megadeth and Anthrax, easily if there was a 'big 5 of thrash' they would be the fifth.

[thelotuseater1]

flots til death!!

[SueNC367]

AMAZING album. I remember it as being in my top 3 releases for that year.

these guys have never gotten the credit they deserved.

[Bastige56]

Back when metal bands could sing.

[AlucardsQuest]

@Bastige56 He still can, check out their new album The Cold, you need no further proof then that.

[daniz123]

Grunge *coughs*

[Cyanarchy]

@daniz123 Have you ever heard Soundgarden? Or Alice In Chains? Both great metal bands unfairly labelled as grunge, why? Three words: Location, Location, Location.

What? We've got a cool metal band? From Seattle? Nope, that's grunge.

Open your mind, kid, you'll be happier that way.

[AlucardsQuest]

@Cyanarchy Maybe, but neither Alice in Chains nor Soundgarden would tour with a metal band. That sort of elitism is what killed off the fad of grunge (or alternative) very quickly. Say what you will about NuMetal, but at least they were never afraid to tour with real metal bands.

[jdr7510]

@AlucardsQuest The first time I ever saw Alice In Chains was on the Clash of the Titans tour with Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax.

[AlucardsQuest]

@jdr7510 Yes but they were put in the opening slot as a replacement for Death Angel who couldn't be on the tour because they had been in a bad bus accident. They were pelted with anything you could possibly imagine every night, but then The Box broke and AiC has since r efused to tour with any metal band. Soundgarden has opened for bands like Voi-Vod, but when they got popular they never brought metal bands with them to open. If I didn't know better, I might call it a conspiracy to kill metal.

[lucretia101]

Awesome song..haven't seen this video since high school...great song!

[rednekreckah420]

FLOTS TILL DEATH!!!!

[MunicipalDude]

omg so true they are probabaly the most underrated thrash metal band ever, this band needs some recognition!

[danimal97520]

One of my all-time favorite songs. It's just not right that more people don't know this one

[yikesatiger]

I heard this song on Headbanger's Ball when I was 14, and never heard it again until tonight. No idea why I thought about it now and decided to look it up. It must be a brutal song if I remembered it for all these years.

[MISTERWONKA7]

The song sounds great and kicks my ass but i'm all out of ass.

[RichRockerN9NE27]

To Me Their First 4 Albums are some of the best ever made, i dont have drift i only have 2 singles from the album "smoked out" & "blindside", And I Have "High" But Cuatro is probably my favorite...Love this song, excellent band. When The Storm Comes Down is Underrated and fuck what ppl say about the producton, it is what it is get over it and listen to the substance of the music

[Alorsous]

@RichRockerN9NE27 I find their first 3 total classics, I haven't heard all of their stuff, but Cuatro is still very consistently good, and yes the production isn't the greatest on The Storm Comes Down album, but good music doesn't need perfect production, glad someone agrees tho

[hcraig28]

no kidding.

[ECOOL76]

Great song. Overlooked band

[grinninh]

@ECOOL76 Totally agree! Their music was distinct,tight and impressive.The mans voice is distinct and boy can he belt it out.

Cuatro is definetly my favorite of theirs and people this song sounds 100 times better on a stereo when you can here all the various ranges

Nice blast from the past! No I think I will try to find some ol 'Death Angel..

[sherwin693]

@ECOOL76 great song but most of them is pansy

[ronkneisley]

@sherwin693 you need to learn how to speak the english language before you attempt to dis on flotsam moron! hate to go old school but pansy,"takes one to no one" fucking retard

[8quart]

Flotsam and Jetsam are in a class of their own...they`re just straight up,no phony image,but with raw,harsh,straight forward music...my favorite band,their music is a nice break from from all the other bands that seem to want to sound like someone else...or trying to fit some format...Flotsam and Jetsam just do their own thing...they`re just a great band...

[TheMoNiCaS9]

@8quart i saw them live, sorry i dont remember exactly where, it was a hard rock club in buffalo.

[WRplayer2]

@8quart Very true.

[fermisk]

one of the most underrated thrash metal acts that must get more recognition and credit
