Scars to Prove It is the fifteenth studio album by American Christian rock band Remedy Drive. It was released independently on August 30, 2024.[1] It is in digital download, LP, and CD formats. The album includes one instrumental track, "GilEstel", which means 'Star of High Hope', and is possibly a reference to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. The album was produced by the band's co-founder David Zach.[1]
