Ukrainian metalcore beasts SPACE OF VARIATIONS have unleashed a brand new video for “Будут Наказаны” (“They Will Be Punished”), taken from their 2020 Napalm Records debut EP XXXXX. The footage was filmed during their unforgettable shows in Kyiv and the legendary Faine Misto Festival, as well as on tour supporting comrades and friends JINJER on their sold out European Macro Tour 2019.
“Будут Наказаны” is a blistering burst of in-your-face Metalcore fury that has a long history with SPACE OF VARIATIONS.
Singer Dima Kozhuhar states: „Будут Наказаны (They Will Be Punished) is actually one of our oldest songs, written in 2009 when I was 18 years old. It’s a huge fan favorite and I think that we‘ve played it at every show the last 11 years. It’s a hymn of youth and hatred… It’s a message from ourselves from the past – to ourselves in the present saying that burning hearts can move mountains. When we signed to Napalm we decided that it should finally get the recording it deserves.”
SPACE OF VARIATIONS recently released their MDX Live Session, a 6 song video recorded live in an abandoned soviet era cinema, celebrating the two year anniversary of their highly praised self-released album Mind Darknet, where the XXXXX EP tracks “Razorblade” and “Room 57” were also included. Watch the full video HERE.
Taking advantage of Covid-19 lockdown downtime, SPACE OF VARIATIONS are currently working on and writing their debut full-length album release for Napalm Records to be released in Fall 2021.
“Distorted mind is full of lies. But all these shapes are so mesmerizing. I was drowning more and more into my irrational fictional world. Devil and God were there as different shapes of reality. Everyone goes through their agony. I went through mine in the ‘Room 57’.” – Lead Singer Dima Flo
With their latest EP XXXXX, released via Napalm Records earlier this year, modern metal sensation SPACE OF VARIATIONS have proven that they are no longer an underground band and won’t fly under the radar. Today, the Ukrainian powerhouse takes it one step further and showcases their new animated work for the XXXXX EP track “Room 57”.
With their newest offering, SPACE OF VARIATIONS underlines the pure passion for their sonically-palpable creativity and artful audio-visuals. Filming and directing most of their own videos wasn’t enough – the cartoon-inspired music video is made from more than three thousand images hand-painted by guitarist/vocalist Alex, with post-production by drummer Tima, himself. “Room 57” offers an artistic place of expression for the characters of their own universe.
SPACE OF VARIATIONS on “Room 57”: “During these hard times when it seems the whole world is going crazy, we as a band have found ourselves in not the best position. Tours and festivals got canceled. We could not even shoot a video without violating quarantine. Then we remembered the old idea of creating a hand-drawn animation. We started looking for someone to bring our ideas to life. Yet, it did not take long to realize that we were the ones to do it best. Our guitarist/vocalist Alex took on the whole animation part, while our drummer Tima was all about post-production. The truth was born in meetings and discussions.”
The music video itself mirrors a whole enigma filled with metaphors, elaborate images and symbolism. Fall into a rabbit hole with SPACE OF VARIATIONS and meet them behind closed doors.
SPACE OF VARIATIONS explores vast sonic landscapes and emotions, captivating each listener with all-encompassing and everchanging moods – musically as well as lyrically – whether they be brutal and uncompromising or emotive and comforting, Their recent EP, XXXXX, out now, as well as the live video to “Slowmo”, only confirm the group’s position in the modern metal scene, convincingly framing the level of texts with technical instrumentals and skillfully incorporated electronic details.
SPACE OF VARIATIONS will be touring in support of their current EP XXXXX:
