Balance occurs in the midst of extremes. Varials seamlessly alternate between moments of crushing power and melodic poise, unlocking harmony in the middle of opposite poles. The Philadelphia quintet - Mitchell Rogers (vocals), James Hohenwarter (guitar), Sean Rauchut (drums), Mike Foley (bass), and Shane Lyons (guitar) - continue to sharpen this signature style with searing intensity, uncontainable energy, and uncompromising creativity. They've carefully cultivated this sound over the years. The guys attracted a devout fanbase with 'Pain Again' (2017) and 'In Darkness' (2019). The latter yielded 'Romance', which amassed 3 million Spotify streams and counting. Of the title track, Decibel raved, 'Varials have their own modern spin on hybridizing metal and hardcore into a powerful new amalgam.' Meanwhile, they hit the road with the likes of All That Remains, Wage War, Oceans Ate Alaska, Kublai Khan, and more. During 2021, Mitchell assumed full vocal duties for the band. After amassing tens of millions of streams and earning acclaim from Decibel, Revolver, and Alternative Press, to name a few, the band deliver controlled chaos like never before on their third full-length album for Fearless Records 'Scars for You to Remember'.
