Ukrainian metalcore force Space Of Variations unleashes new single ‘Parallel Realities’

With the release of their new album, Poisoned Art, only a few days away, Ukrainian metalcore band SPACE OF VARIATIONS shares another single. “PARALLEL REALITIES” showcases the duality of their diverse style: cleverly combining soft melodic desperation and neck-snapping breakdowns, musically embodying the track’s namesake. Poisoned Art will be out this coming Friday, February 13, 2026 via Napalm Records.

SPACE OF VARIATIONS about “PARALLEL REALITIES”:

“‘PARALLEL REALITIES’ was meant to be the first single from Poisoned Art, yet it became the last one before the album’s release. This song captures that final moment before the end—when fear fades, meaning becomes clear, and hope survives in the belief that we’ll find our loved ones in another life.”

Explosive Ukrainian metalcore force SPACE OF VARIATIONS returns with Poisoned Art, out on February 13, 2026 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.

SPACE OF VARIATIONS about Poisoned Art:

“Our third full-length album, Poisoned Art, was written during the darkest period of our lives. The war in our country changed everything dramatically, and the full spectrum of emotions we experienced during that time is reflected in this album. It’s angry, melodic, honest, and fatalistic.”

Mercilessly honest, the opening track “TRIBE” sees the band battle existential fears in both English and their native Ukrainian. Driving in the urgency are diverse stylings, ranging from djent in “HALO” to fitting sirens in “MAYDAY”, showing that SPACE OF VARIATIONS doesn’t shy away from adding a certain edge to their catchy choruses. “PARALLEL REALITIES” cleverly combines soft melodies with brutality, staging captivating desperation and neck-snapping breakdowns as parallel realities. Explosive outburst “DOPPELGÄNGER” powerfully blends groovy distorted guitars and unrelenting intensity, contrasted by haunting melodic passages and subtle electronic textures, making this song especially hard-hitting. The mix of pummeling ferocity with emotional depth continues throughout “GODLIKE” and “GHOST TOWN”, before “COLDHEAVEN” stands out from Poisoned Art through its exploration of hip hop elements and cold industrial grain. “BACK TO DIRT” continues the djent vibe, while “SNAKE SKIN” delves into electronic territory. Emotionally driven “LIES” smoothly transitions from a beautifully arranged verse to a melancholic chorus, with frontman Dmytro Kozhukhar intensely switching from soothing clean vocals to aggressive shouts, before atmospheric outro “ECHO” pulls the album to a close.
