Alt-Metal Heavy Hitters FLAW Blaze A New Path Forward By Tackling Past Rock Hits & Anthems On New Album, Release First Single & Video!

 Modern metal heroes FLAW have been cranking out some of the most intense, passionate and melodic metal music since their founding in the late ‘90s. The band continues to be led to this day by founding member and vocalist Chris Volz, whose demon-growl-from-the-depths-of-hell vocal signature is counterbalanced by a confident and powerful baritone croon. Both of those dynamics, as well as Volz immense skill at musical arrangements, are on display in the band’s newest single, a cover of a 2017 hit by indie pop act lovelytheband. In the hands of Volz and Co., “Broken” becomes a true metal masterpiece, alternating atmospheric verses with ear shattering choruses and tons of distorted guitar. It’s enough to get even the hipsters to throw the horns up!

Volz had this to say about the track, “I am so excited to have the privilege of rewriting and covering this track. The lyrics and rhythm flow of the original song grabbed me right away. This was so much fun to record in the studio and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”

And don’t miss the killer video that brings the song to life, directed by veteran filmmaker Michael Sarna (Megadeth, Candlebox) and starring character actress/musician Jon Mack (whose credits include Saw VI and Kill Chain starring Nicholas Cage).
