Southern Ontario-based metallers VARGA, who reportedly reunited initially in 2011, have been hard at work in the studio. Drummer Dan Fila has checked in with the following update:
"Joao Carvalho will be mastering Enter/Return Of The Metal with Joe Varga and we have posted a preview track I know it's been a long time coming but I can promise you it is a fucking monster, and it has been the first time we are all collectively loving and proud of a recording. Juice Butty is a genius and his working relationship and respect for Joe resulted in a sonic masterpiece that stands up to anything. We used technology as a tool, not a crutch. I'm really sick of the new genre I like to call Pro Tools Metal....you know, play the riff at half speed and speed it up and quantize the crap out of the drums and replace the real drums with samples and lets record the song one riff at a time. I'm sorry but that, my friends, is a bunch of crap. Metal is about learning how to play your instrument and locking yourself in a basement practicing for endless hours and working out songs with your friends and bandmates. These records will speak for themselves."

Varga released two albums in the '90s before they broke up: Prototype (1994) and Oxygen (1996). Dan Fila and Sean Williamson went on to form the short-lived HYPODUST.
