DOB Unknown – August 2, 2010
Makh Daniels was the lead singer for up-and-coming San Francisco based hardcore band, Early Graves. Formed in 2007, the band built a sizable following due in part, to their incessant touring and their volatile songs that married early punk with hard metal. The band has since released two albums, We: The Guillotine and Goner. In the early hours of August 2, 2010, Early Graves and The Funeral Pyre were driving from a show in Portland, OR to their next stop in Reno, NV, when they were reportedly involved in a single vehicle accident. Mahk Daniels, age 24, was killed when he was thrown from the van.
