Where The Light Leaves is the fourth studio album by the American metalcore band Varials. It was released on February 27, 2026, through Fearless Records. It is their first release to feature rhythm guitarist Shane Lyons on lead guitar since their earlier EPs, the first with their new vocalist Skyler Conder, replacing Mitchell Rogers who left the band on October 27, 2024, and the first release without founding guitarist James Hohenwarter. The band released a music video for "I'll Find the Dark" on September 19, 2025. The song features the use of a wah-wah pedal which, according to Lyons, "is underutilized in our genre".
