Share






Early Graves vocalist Mahk Daniels was killed yesterday morning in a van accident en route to a show in Reno, NV.  KTVL, Oregon reports:

“A van carrying nine members of two California-based "death metal" bands lost control and crashed on Interstate 5 in Central Point when the driver fell asleep, killing one band's vocalist and injuring two others just after 5:30 AM Monday. 

Oregon State Police say the van, pulling a trailer, was carrying members of two death metal bands to California when it crashed in the southbound lane between the Central Point and Blackwell Road exits. OSP reported the band had just played an outdoor concert in Eugene on Sunday.

OSP reports that the van's driver, Justin H. Garcia, 24, Fresno, Calif., reportedly fell asleep and lost control of the van. Early Graves vocalist Makh (Matikeef) P. Daniels, 28, from Pacifica, Calif., was ejected from a rear cargo area where he and two others were resting. Daniels was pronounced dead at the scene by responding medics.”

KTVL goes on to repot that that Justin Garcia, guitarist for The Funeral Pyre (the other band in the van) and Tyler Jensen, guitarist for Early Graves were transported to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries. 

On behalf of everyone here at Metal Call Out, our thoughts and condolences go out to Daniels’ family, friends and bandmates.
