TMD&#8217;s received an <em>official<\/em> statement from the musician on why he quit the band:<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8220;It was with regret that I quit Flatline.  Personally, Flatline was a band of brothers who had their issues at times like any other band&#8230; that is irrelevant.  I made the decision to leave the band  because we were not touring and there was no more label support or any more albums in our future. Flatline&#8217;s contract with Stand and Deliver was up, and the label decided not to exercise the option for 2 more years. I have a kick-ass project I am working on with some notable names in the metal biz, including members of Flatine.  I have no reason to slander Matt Polena or the label, but would like the record to be set straight.  Matt and Stand and Deliver have no control over any part of the current Flatline line-up, and I am proudly moving on in my own metal career.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nFLATLINE released \u201cPave The Way\u201d in 2008, which was heralded as a breakthrough album in the underground world of metal.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nNo word yet on who will be replacing the departed Weitzel.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/flatlinemetal\">http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/flatlinemetal<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like the relationship between guitarist Randy Weitzel and Los Angeles, Calfornia (USA) metal&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11782\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
