Varials is an American metalcore band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, formed in October 2013. The band currently consists of guitarist Shane Lyons, bassist Mike Foley and drummer Sean Rauchut.
Varial's first release was the single "Trapped", released on October 7, 2013. They released an EP, Recollection in 2014. In 2016 they released a split EP, Absolution with Wilmington, Delaware-based band Vicious Embrace.
They signed with Fearless Records on July 6, 2017, and announced their debut album Pain Again, produced by Josh Schroeder, which was released on August 11. The lead single, "Anything to Numb" was released alongside a music video that day. The second single, "Pain Again" was released on July 28 with another music video. The song "E.D.A." had a music video released on August 10. The third single "Empire of Dirt"'s music video was released in May 2018.
Early on in 2017, the band toured with For the Fallen Dreams and Deadships. In mid-2017, the band toured alongside Wage War, Gideon, Oceans Ate Alaska and Loathe. They also toured with Kublai Khan and I Am. In 2018, they toured in support of Emmure alongside Counterparts and King 810 on the Natural Born Killers tour. In late-2018, they opened for Counterparts and Being as an Ocean, alongside Have Mercy on the Private Room Tour. Varials also got to play on the Atlantic City date for the 25th anniversary of the Vans Warped Tour. They were able to play both days of the festival due to technical issues they had on the first day of playing.
Varials has gained comparisons to Knocked Loose by the media, and Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris guested on the Varials song "Empire of Dirt". Varials also toured with Knocked Loose in December 2015. They have also been likened to the hardcore band Jesus Piece, who also hail from Philadelphia, as both bands have been regarded as some of the brightest prospects in the genre.
The band released their second album, In Darkness, through Fearless on October 11, 2019. Varials supported Counterparts on their Private Room 2.0 Tour throughout the Fall of 2019. Varials will be heading to Europe to support Polaris on their Death of Me Tour. Varials is also set to support Spite on their Root of all Evil Tour.
On January 23, 2020, vocalist Travis Tabron announced his departure from the band. They will still continue to tour without Travis with Mitchell Rogers taking over lead vocals.
In late 2020 and early 2021, the band began working with producer Josh Schroeder on a new EP. They later decided to switch from an EP to their third studio album. On March 8, 2022, the band announced via their Instagram that they had finished work on the album. This also included the return of guitarist Shane Lyons. In August, the band announced their upcoming album, Scars for You to Remember, would be released on October 14.
