SPACE OF VARIATIONS have announced a new album!

Titled Imago, the upcoming album from the Ukrainian metalcore band is their brand new full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “the main symbolism of the album is hidden in its title – Imago. In entomology, imago is the last stage an insect attains during its metamorphosis. In psychology, it’s one of the fundamental concepts, an unconscious mental image a person has of himself, other objects of reality and his blood ties through the prism of his perception. As an insect breaks through the shell of a chrysalis to free itself from the protective cocoon surrounding it, you, too, through inner transformation can really become the new being, which, in fact, you were always meant to be. Imago = new stage, Imago = maturation. Only in retrospect can one see the imago, which was previously hidden in the shadows. The future is being prepared in the bosom of the past and the present. Imago is the most complete convergence with yourself that can only happen. With this album, SPACE OF VARIATIONS are definitely moving to a new round of self-development as a creative organism.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, SPACE OF VARIATIONS have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; SOMEONE ELSE. Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band adds, “the SOMEONE ELSE video is a metaphor. It talks about individualism, talks about the originality of every one of us as human creations. Talks about how we all involved to social life. And how sometimes it feels like a pain. To play a role, and not being your real self is suffering. This video shows how a faceless crowd tries to destroy the individuality of a main character, tries to kill him, and tries to make him looks the same as they are. In this song, the character goes through stages of acceptance, realizing the facets of all the beautiful and terrible he has inside. Paradoxically, an internal puzzle becomes complete only through disassembling oneself. Acceptance of reality, no matter how good or bad it is, is sobering. This is Imago. Just keep your inner fire burning hot.”
