\nHamilton, Ontario based progressive metal band, VARGA, has just unleashed their 3rd full-length studio recording, \u2018Enter The Metal,\u2019 via the band\u2019s own label, Vargantuan Music. Currently available digitally on iTunes and Amazon.com \u2013 http:\/\/Amazon.com<\/a>, there are several formats of hi-resolution downloads available for purchase from the band\u2019s own http:\/\/vargahq.com <\/a>\u2013 website. CD\u2019s will begin shipping and in stores November 14th, but can be pre ordered from vargahq.com until then.<\/p>\n
Comprised of members Joe Varga (bass & vocals), Adam Alex (guitar), Sean Williamson (guitar), and Dan Fila (drums), the veteran band (originally formed in 1989) has built a large and loyal following of heavy metal fans, particular in their home country, on the strength of such popular releases as 1994\u2032s \u2018Prototype\u2019 (released via the Zoo label), which spawned the hits \u201cFreeze Don\u2019t Move\u201d and \u201cGreed,\u201d earning the band a thumbs up on the then-popular \u2018Beavis and Butthead\u2019 program on MTV. After over a decade apart, Varga reunited in 2011, and issued their awesome reunion effort, \u2018Enter the Metal\u2019 (their first new studio album in 17 years).<\/p>\n
The album was produced by long time friend and producer\/engineer, Julius \u201cJuice\u201d Butty (Alexisonfire, Protest the Hero), and recorded at both Six Nations\u2019 Jukasa Studio, and Butty\u2019s own Silo Studios. As the band\u2019s leader, Joe Varga, states, \u201cIn this collection of music, you\u2019ll hear a return to our metal and progressive roots with songs laden with heavy licks, crazy time changes and insane vocals.\u201d<\/p>\n
As heard throughout \u2018Enter the Metal,\u2019 the long delay between releases has not dulled Varga\u2019s penchant for penning inspired and challenging heavy metal in the slightest. Welcome back, lads!<\/p>\n
