Varials - In Darkness

With their second album In Darkness, Philadelphia�s Varials traffic in moshy-metal. While the music is heavy enough to shift tectonic plates, it�s not merely about crowd-killing breakdowns - although those exist in spades on the record. Rather, the band explores other aspects of heavy from the lyrics to the tones to the song structures to the melodies. It�s a sonically dense, precise, and intense record, and it�s not pretty. The same can be said about the lyrics, which plume the depths to which humanity can sink. In Darkness isn�t interested in the light, and that�s just how Varials like it.
