Space Of Variations have released “Ghost Town,” a riff-heavy new single from their third album ‘Poisoned Art,’ out now via Napalm Records. The track delivers the explosive four-piece at their most focused, furious verses and an infectious chorus colliding with the kind of heartfelt emotional weight that has become their signature. It signals a new era for the band, their ever-evolving sound pushing further into territory that blends brutality and melody without sacrificing either.
The band is direct about what the song means: “‘Ghost Town’ is about the feeling of waking up from a dream while still carrying it inside you, as if it were real. In that dream, you lost someone important, and no matter what you do, you can’t find them again. It’s the sense of loss that seeps from the dream into reality.” That emotional core runs through ‘Poisoned Art’ at every turn, an album the band describes as a product of the darkest period of their 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.”
‘Poisoned Art’ is bold, unbroken, and unapologetic, a record that pushes the boundaries of modern metalcore while remaining grounded in lived experience. “Ghost Town” makes the case that Space Of Variations are not just keeping pace with the genre but actively directing where it goes next.
