Interview: A Modern Force Like No Other – Talking Poisoned Art with Olexksii (Guitar/Vocals) of Space of Variations

Ukrainian metalcore force Space of Variations returns with ‘Poisoned Art’, out on February 13, 2026, via Napalm Records.

Delivering an explosive sound that has tons of appeal, especially if modern metalcore is your jam, Space of Variations return with a punchy, infectious, and evolved record that genre-bends in mostly pleasing fashion. Not everything works, personally, but what does, is memorable, interesting, and fresh sounding. A tough task in the world of metalcore these days, so credit to Space of Variations for creating music that stands out.

Check out the full album review here.

We spoke to guitarist and vocalist Olexksii Zatserkovnyi about their new album and how everything has been leading to this moment. We discuss the creative journey, the album’s origins, the recording process, and so much more.
