Flaw Guitarist Nathan McDaniel and Possibly More Members Depart

Flaw and guitarist Nathan McDaniel have gone their separate ways following a not-so-friendly MySpace bulletin, which has since been deleted. Whoever is in control of the band's MySpace, which seems to be McDaniel, has posted the following message about recent events:

"The WHOLE truth

"Keep hearin rumors that we were actually kicked out. I'm sure thats what Volz and his cronies are telling everybody to try and save face. If you did not read the bulletin before I'll make sure its here for all to see. We left the band because Chris Volz is a drunken, woman beating, lying, washed up waste of a human being. I'm sure money hungry vultures will jump into our spots just to try and make a name (what a name to have) or go somewhere. It took me finding out for myself but FLAW is in fact a fucking joke now.

"And just to let you guys in on another fact. All of the new songs any of you heard on the road after jay left, are mine and Tylers and some of them Van's (our former bass player) - Indifferance, Uncurled, Last December and most of Believe In Me. So enjoy a buncha shitty versions of our songs. And please buy a lotta albums so they have some money to pay us when we sue their asses off.

"Keep on checkin. More goodies to come in about a week. And no, you cannot have the Password to this site..hahaha(inside joke)"

It is unclear at the moment if drummer Terry Harper and bassist Tyler will remain a part of the band, although the message above would suggest otherwise.

Flaw is expected to release a new studio album in 2009.

after reading other articles about Volz on this site and others, I always thought he was an ego maniac, i guess maybe he's just an a$$hole. can't hold a band together and anytime a band goes by one guys name says something.

I hail from the same city as Flaw...Last I saw of them was a sloppy, drunken performance on New Years Eve of '02/'03, they were coming apart back then too. Was equally sad and funny. I actually had hopes for those guys once upon a time...as in 2000 and 2001, heh.

Now Playing: Arsis - "Fortune's Envy"

That's funny cause I saw Flaw in Austin, TX back in '02 in a downtown bar, they play 5 songs and got booed off stage cause the singer kept cussing at the crowd and forgetting his own lyrics. horrible performance. they need to just throw in the towel and move on

That is truly sad that Volz, who has a gift for singing(I think his mother was an opera singer), wasted his talent...terrible waste.

I hate to hear this. I thought Flaw was a good band and that Chris was a good front man. I hope maybe sometime they can all work out their differences and try to move on with some new good music

Yes - I even bought Five Bolt Main - which was a good album. I have both Flaw albums, so they were perhaps, one of the better nu-metal groups. RIP Flaw.

Sad. I'd heard a few negative things about Volz here and there, but didn't know he was bad to this level. Hopefully the guys can find something else to do, as they're quite good. It's a shame Volz can't keep his sh** together.
