Varials is an American metalcore band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed in October of 2013.[3] The band consists of vocalist Travis Tabron, guitarists Mitchell Rogers and James Hohenwarter, bassist Mike Foley and drummer Sean Rauchut.

History

The band members, all from Philadelphia or surrounding towns, had been a part of their 2009 music scene in one way or another, realizing this years later after they all met through different means.[4] By 2012, they officially formed Varials. The original lineup consisted of vocalist Jared Pilieri, guitarists James Hohenwarter and Shane Lyons, bassist Mike Foley, and drummer Sean Rauchut. Pilieri was kicked out of the band in 2014, with the band releasing a statement distancing themselves from him, stating "(Pilieri) used his place in this band to manipulate others and we all sincerely apologize to anyone that was affected by his actions"[5] He was replaced by Travis Tabron. Lyons left around 2017 and was replaced by former Capture the Crown guitarist Mitchell Rogers.

Varial's first release was the single "Trapped", released on October 7, 2013.[6] They released an EP,Recollection in 2014.[2] In 2016 they released a split EP, Absolution with Wilmington, Delaware based band Vicious Embrace.[7][8][9]

They signed with Fearless Records in July 6, 2017, and announced their debut album Pain Again, produced by Josh Schroeder, to be released on August 11.[10][11][12] The lead single, "Anything to Numb" was released alongside a music video that day.[13] The second single, "Pain Again" was released on July 28 with another music video.[14] The song "E.D.A." had a music video released on August 10.[15][16] The third single "Empire of Dirt"'s music video was released in May 2018.[17]

Early on in 2017, the band toured with For the Fallen Dreams and Deadships.[18] In mid-2017, the band toured alongside Wage War, Gideon, Oceans Ate Alaska and Loathe.[19] They also toured with Kublai Khan and I Am.[20] In 2018, they toured in support of Emmure alongside Counterparts.[21]

Varials has gained comparisons to Knocked Loose by the media, and Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris guested on the Varials song "Empire of Dirt".[22][23] Varials also toured with Knocked Loose in December 2015.[24][25]
