Drinking From The Poisoned Chalice With SPACE OF VARIATIONS
Explosive Ukrainian metalcore force SPACE OF VARIATIONS returns with their new album, Poisoned Art, out now via Napalm Records. Blending furious brutality with heartfelt emotion, the four-piece band sheds their skin and continues to push the boundaries of modern metal, their new record showing a new facet of their ever-evolving sound—a new era.
Bold as ever, Poisoned Art explores the boundaries of modern sounds. SPACE OF VARIATIONS directs the way into the future of metalcore: unbroken, unapologetic—unstoppable.
HEAVY caught up with the band to find out more, starting by asking how they were feeling about Poisoned Art just out from last weeks release.
"I'm excited, confident, but in the same way, I'm thinking how to play these songs live," Dima Kozhuhar (vocals) replied. "It's both things for me. It's like excitement and a little bit of like fear, you know, how the people will react. But in the end, I'm happy that we did this album and finished it."
We ask the band to dive deeper into the album from a musical point of view.
"What can I say about musical parts from a musical point of view?" Alex Zatserkovny (guitar, vocals) measured. "It's a natural extension of our previous art. For me it's still Space Of Variations and we always change something when we're recording. It's like normal, organic and natural stuff. I don't know, we're always looking for some new angles, new points of view or art. No dramatic changes, I believe, but at the same time, I believe this album sounds very different from all previous albums."
Discussion then moved into musical intent and composition: the band described the album as a natural extension of prior work, blending genres and seeking new angles in composition and sound. They explained the singles strategy—releasing varied tracks (Halo, Tribe, Lies, Doppelganger, Ghost Town) to keep listeners uncertain about the album’s full scope—and confirmed Tribe was chosen as opener and lead single for its impactful qualities.
They addressed bilingual lyrics as a nod to Ukrainian fans and discussed touring ambitions including a clear interest in playing Australia, plus more.
