The Funeral Pyre, with whom Early Graves was traveling when their singer Makh Daniels was killed in a van accident last week, have issued a statement on Daniels' passing:
"The morning of August 2nd, we lost a human being that was unlike anyone I had ever met. A friend, a peer, an amazing man. Makh Daniels was somebody I will never forget, and I'm sure he affected a lot of people in the same way. I met him on a tour we had all booked together about 4 years ago. Makh had never done a full US tour, it was to be his first. The stories and life experiences we talked about during those five weeks of tour created a bond that very few people will understand. He instantly become a close friend, as I knew I had met somebody that was as passionate about living as he was music.
A charateristic that stuck with him as long as I knew him. The unconditional love he would have towards people close to him was nothing short of heroic. Makh was wise beyond his years, yet always willing to listen to other peoples views and beliefs. Something that shows how great of a person he was, to listen to his friends, to not just have it be a one sided story"
