Space of Variations formed in Ukraine in 2009, establishing themselves within the modern metalcore and alternative metal landscape before an early hiatus and reformation in 2015. Their full-length debut Mind Darknet (2018) announced a sound that blends metalcore aggression with electronic textures and progressive atmospheres. The band signed to Napalm Records and released IMAGO followed by Poisoned Art in February 2026, continuing to build their profile as one of Ukraine's most internationally visible metal acts. The band's output through the years of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has also given their music an added layer of cultural weight.
