Eventually settling upon the less common moniker of \u003cstrong\u003eVARIX\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1991, the group would gradually bolster its lineup with former members of fellow little-known Germans Annoy, Excruciator, and Toxic Refuse over the course of three demos (and a compilation appearance on Rave Music's \u003cem\u003ePeace-Eater Vol. IV\u003c\/em\u003e) between 1991 and 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIX\u003c\/strong\u003e concocted a uniquely quirky brand of complex yet melodic thrash metal built upon an eclectic blend of influences that included rock, metal, hardcore\/punk, alternative, and even blues. This breadth of musical interests was also represented in a range of lyrical topics that stretched from horror and psychological struggles to societal concerns and anti-war pleas for peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with \u003cem\u003eMorbus Cron\u003c\/em\u003e (1991) and \u003cem\u003eTribute to Fate\u003c\/em\u003e (1993), the band's efforts culminated with 1995's \u003cem\u003eHarmonic Distortion\u003c\/em\u003e—focusing their energy into a heavier, darker, and more mature direction. Unfortunately, subtle disagreements over the technicality of the material—coupled with continual lineup instability—brought \u003cstrong\u003eVARIX\u003c\/strong\u003e's days to an end by early-1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNow, more than two decades later, Divebomb Records is thrilled to present the complete 10-song discography from these sorely overlooked German thrashers in the form of \u003cem\u003eMorbid Tribute To Distortion\u003c\/em\u003e. Fully remastered by Jamie King at The Basement Recording, the package also includes lyrics, archival photos, and a retrospective band interview conducted by NoEcho.net co-editor Andrew Aversionline.
