About FLATLINE™ - NASCAR Fans check out our new BLOG!
With the dawning of 2009, Los Angeles based
metal masters FLATLINE are continuing their drive to help pave the way back to real Metal. Due to the major success of
the digitally distributed release "Pave the Way" through Stand and
Deliver Records, the album will be available in stores beginning on
February 3rd, 2009, thanks to a newly inked physical distribution deal
with Uprising/Sony Red. FLATLINE also look forward to touring throughout the year starting in February with Straight Line Stitch, in support of the release, which was recorded with
Machinehead and Soulfly guitarist Logan Mader at the helm, on dates
booked by Thunderdome Touring. A tour with Threat Signal and The Agonist is already set for June.
The band has spent all of 2008 driving towards this release date by
sharing the stage with numerous well known bands on tours throughout
the US. August and September found FLATLINE tearing up the scene
along with 36 Crazyfists, Walls of Jericho and It Dies Today. Shortly
after that tour, the guys joined Century Media metal darlings In This
Moment on several dates of their successful tour, and also supported
Becoming the Archetype, and A Different Breed of Killer. The guys
teamed up with Divine Heresy and Five Finger Death Punch for memorable shows as well.
FLATLINE was notably added to the Rockstar Mayhem Tour Sampler CD and
was also voted "Emerging artist of the Week" on 103.1fm Chaos with
Full Metal Jackie. Despite their hectic tour schedule, as well as
exploding on the stage at famed clubs in Los Angeles such as The
Whisky, The Troubador, and every club in between, FLATLINE still
managed to find time to shoot a video for their epic composition
"Generations Fall."
FLATLINE's determination and drive can be traced back to the inception
of the band. They shared the stage with God Forbid at 2007's
Milwaukee Metal Fest XIX, won the California division of the national
Project Independent Showcase competition, and with domestic success
already under their studded belts, they showcased their brutal live
stage performance by travelling to Auckland, New Zealand to play the
"666-Metal Day Out" festival and then to tour the entire northern
island. FLATLINE is sponsored by Floyd Rose, Evil Threads, Monster
Energy and Sik World. They have been honored by the renowned
Independent Artists Registry by being one of 34 bands out of 4,000
chosen for a 2006 sponsorship and LA's Rock City News took notice and
awarded the band the distinction of being the "Outstanding New Band"
at their 11th annual awards show that same year.
FLATLINE features five unique musical talents linked by a single passion--unadulterated metal. Lead vocalist TRAVIS JOHNSON's hauntingly personal lyrics and powerful delivery give FLATLINE its unrivaled edge. RANDY WEITZEL brings not only his songwriting and guitar talents, but a drive destined to carry FLATLINE far. Although guitarist JOE 'PAULO' GUERRA's metal tendencies are deeply rooted, he has influences in a variety of musical genres broadening the band's sound and style. Bassist HECTOR GONZALEZ adds an inspired style and solid stage presence to the rhythm section and drummer TIM HASSEMER puts a brutal and relentless musical pummeling at the core of FLATLINE's music.
FLATLINE's music is a rarity in this day of drop tuning and one finger
chords. Real metal with an old-school thrash feel and the band is determined to keep this style of Metal alive and relevant. And for fans who grew up in an era of trendsetting metal - FLATLINE won’t let you down. Metal the way it should be!
