Varials have shared another taste of their upcoming full-length ‘WHERE THE LIGHT LEAVES’, and it shows off their slower, but no less devastating, side.
Titled ‘The Hurt Chamber’, it is a dark and dizzying piece of slow-burning hardcore intensity. Like walking through the woods in the middle of the night, there is an air of mystery and tension to the track, before exploding into beautifully bludgeoning life. It’s heavy in a completely different way for the band, showcasing just how many strings they have to their bow in the most crushing of manners.
Vocalist Skyler Conder had this to say about the song’s themes, explaining,“‘The Hurt Chamber’ is a song strictly about being addicted to a high that is inevitably difficult to break. Whether that be love, drugs, or a certain type of situation, you become blind to what’s happening, all of the bad disappears because it always feels amazing. But it’s doing nothing but harming you throughout every time you become close to it. The ache becomes a salvation of sorts. You enter the hurt chamber and you never want to leave.”
The band’s new album ‘WHERE THE LIGHT LEAVES’ will be released on February 27 via Fearless Records.
