Philadelphia's Varials return with their fourth album, 'Where The Light Leaves', set to release on February 27, 2026, via Fearless Records. The band, consisting of Skyler Conder (vocals), Shane Lyons (guitar), Mike Foley (bass), and Sean Rauchut (drums), has made a significant impact on the metal scene with their unique blend of hardcore ferocity and nu-metal groove. This album follows their previous works, including 'Pain Again' and 'In Darkness', and showcases their evolution as artists. The lead single, 'The Hurt Chamber', exemplifies their ability to create heavy music that is both melodic and memorable, with a deliberate pace that sets it apart from their earlier, faster tracks. Conder describes the song as an exploration of addiction, reflecting on the allure of harmful situations that one struggles to escape. The recording process was marked by a chaotic yet creative atmosphere, resulting in a collection of 13 songs that capture the band's raw energy and ambition. Varials are known for their intense live performances, and this album promises to deliver that same energy in a studio format.
