“I feel my whole life has lead up to a project like this. It's a complete convergence of everything I love – music, comics, post-apocalyptic romance, crystals, wine and powerful ladies, all perfectly entwined. It'll be by far my most care-free and fierce album yet. I think now, more than ever, people need a reason to listen to a whole record, and this is mine,” said Lights about the new album.
Varials debut a new single in “E.D.A.”
Varials debuted the song through Metal Injection where vocalist Travis Tabron revealed his thoughts on the song, along with explaining that “E.D.A.” stands for everyone dies alone.
“But from the bottom, you get a completely different perspective of what it looks like to be at the top. Exactly why all of the lyrics are referential and play off of each other. You learn a lot about life when your friends start dying. You learn a lot about trust, when you're left so lonely again,” said Tabron.
This single comes from Pain Again, which comes out August 11, and you can pre-order it here!
