Varials vocalist Travis Tabron has announced his departure from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metal/hardcore band.
Tabron issued the following statement today:
"I'm sorry to say, but about a week ago I made the decision to step down from being in Varials. Unfortunately, it was one of those things where no matter how much I loved what I was doing, it was just simply becoming toxic to my mental health and well-being, not only on tour, but while at home as well, and taking too much of a toll on my overall happiness as a result. However, in the last 5 years I've made memories I'll never forget, and friendships that will n ever break, so don't think for a second I regret any of my time in Varials.
"Big thank you to all the fans for making my experience with this band so insanely badass! I love you all! Big thank you to Sean, Mike, Mitch, James. Big thank you to the (new) Fearless Records team. Big thank you to Carl and Brad, and literally every single person that ever supported me in any way, shape, and form during my time in Varials.
"This is not the end for me musically and it's not the end for Varials either! I'm going to be pursuing a lot more different sounds and projects (maybe heavy?) in the future after I decompress from this situation fully. Varials actually have something dropping today too so stay tuned.
"Thank you for taking the time to read this, and try not to ask me too many question because the wound is still pretty fresh for me. I love you guys."
