I posted this video yesterday but I didn't realize it was the UNEDITED file. I'm embarrassed as hell lol. I decided to sacrifice the views that one had in order to put up the correct video. I can't have the first episode of Ladies Night looking low effort when it wasn't! Much love and sorry for the double upload. Check out Patreon.com/RobTV if you wanna support - blah lol
If you enjoy Tatiana going back and forth from clean to growling vocals line to line then check out the live version of Perennial at the Wacken festival. She is a force of nature.
Bro, I'm gonna keep it all the way real with you. I've seen quite a few reactions to this song and pretty much all of them take a pretty similar course. Tatiana's vocal abilities are crazy. But your reaction, is freaking wonderful. So genuine. Growling, screaming vocals are polarizing and we both know a pretty fair amount of black folks ain't into it. I love that you're open to it and actually respect her ability. Well done my friend.
Tatiana is a metal god. She is one of a kind. I never cared much for vocals in metal, she has changed my opinion on it. The way she switches is absolutely amazing. The guitarist, bassist and drummer are awesome. The band is amazing.
I cannot wait until you discover Kittie. Late 90s early 2000s all girl metal band who is making a comeback. Anything from their first album Spit is amazing but their recent album was a tour de force especially We Are Shadows.
I've been seeing thumbnails of their videos pop up when I'm watching Jinjer lol but I just discovered Kittie myself. They're pretty dang cool, not gonna lie.
@@ericpeterson7512 trust me teenage me was a massive Kittie fan back in the day. Then again I’m the same age as the band members. They had a decent amount of mainstream attention here in Canada thanks to our CanCon rules. Highly recommend. If you like pop punk there was LiveonRelease in the same vein.
to reiterate from the first upload 2 points about the vocals: 1. the "growling" voice she uses is a special technique that doesn't use the vocal chords (because you would damage them) but by pressing air through the diaphragm (somewhat similar to burping, but not from the stomach but the lungs) and using the lips and tounge to form the words. Switching from that to regular singing (using vocal chords) is really hard and quite impressive 2. Most people when singing don't have an accent since you focus much more on the pronounciation and the sounds of the language than you do with regular speaking. Tons of Singers have strong Southern or even French/British accents in normal talking that just disappear when singing. If you want another cool example of woman doing these sorts of vocals and switching between styles i can also recommend "Panophobia" by The Agonist. The vocalist for that song went on to sing for one of the most famous female-vocals Death-Metal Bands around "Arch Enemy" ("The Eagle flies Alone" by that Band is absolutely amazing).
Every time I see someone react to this the first time its entertaining. This reaction was one of the best! Good to see you recognise the band and song writing too.
Great to see you do this, I'm here for this concept! Tatiana is fantastic: she's got some power, she's got a great range of tones when she's doing her growl and she knows how to use them, and it's actually pretty clear what she's singing while growling too, which more than a few singers give up on when they growl. Great reaction, I can feel the joy!
I've seen a lot of people react to this, but yours has to be one of my favourites. Your "That's fucking cool" to how she switches on a beat from harsh to cleans and back. Because it really is, fucking cool.
That initial whiplash is why most people were posting up Jinjer, it NEVER fails. Arch enemy would a natural progression, personally I would put Nevermore from Luna Mortis up there, cause god I loved that band back when they were around. If you wanna switch it up, Nightwish its a nice change, or Epica as a sidestep.
You should check out OTEP which is a female lead band. Otep Shamaya the lead singer was actually the one who when Tatiana heard was inspired to do harsh vocals. She was one of the early pioneers among female singers doing harsh vocals
I'll comment... again. I'm glad you did Jinjer "Pisces", because it's a must for every reaction channel. My next suggestion would be "Glory Box" by Portishead. Beth Gibbons is the vocalist. They are classified as trip hop, alternative rock, psychedelic rock... and a few other things by Wikipedia. Great band, cool vibe...
This is the song the best indicator on if a reactor genuinely watches vids for the first time as advertised. I know you do, but I know you've had doubters. This reaction will clear that up. Another great job sir
🔥Welcome to Jinjer, Rob! I just found your channel, saw your Jinjer reaction and subbed, great reaction! It's always fun seeing people new to Jinjer, but your energy is awesome! Thank you for bringing the fantastic genre twisting music of Jinjer to more people! I love their energy, how tight they are, how down to earth they are, the heaviness mixed with complexity and groove, beautiful singing and growling and especially Tatiana's lyrics! She wrote two thirds of this song and then asked the bass player Eugene to help finish it since he's also a Pisces. The first time I heard Pisces in 2019, I hadn't liked any metal with growling and it took me a few listens to start liking it, but now Tatiana is my favorite vocalist and Jinjer my favorite band (Pisces has been my wake up alarm for a few years and I still love it more every time I hear it, snooze is a thing of the past). TLDR: skip to the last paragraph 😂 Sorry for the long comment, I just love Jinjer too much and love seeing people discover (and usually fall in love with) them and each of their songs! My three favorite comments about Jinjer that I've seen, "terrifying levels of talent", "I hate it when a Jinjer song ends", and "that was more unexpected than my first child" 🤣 All four current members of Jinjer have essentially no formal musical training except Vlad the drummer who studied classical piano. For most of their songs, the three guys write most of the instrument music, then Tatiana writes most of the lyrics and melodies (she gets tons of well deserved credit for her vocal and stage performance abilities, but maybe not quite enough for her lyrical and musical composition abilities). Roman the guitarist has written a lot of the instrument music in the past, so he's a huge part of the beautiful sound of Jinjer, but Vlad the drummer (who also plays guitar and classical piano, but so far not in most Jinjer songs - I think he played piano in lainnereP) has been writing more of it and wrote nine of the eleven songs for the latest album Wallflowers. Eugene composes some - he wrote the instrument music for one song on Wallflowers and a few songs on other albums, and I know that apart from his amazing work on the bass, he adds riffs and has written lyrics for a few Jinjer songs. Jinjer has been a tour-heavy band, touring almost nonstop from 2013 to 2020 and much of the time since then (with interruptions by covid and the US backed coup/proxy war), hard work that has made them fantastic live performers. The band (all members have been Ukrainian, with Russian their first language) started in eastern Ukraine (Donetsk) in 2008 as a group of three (then five) with none of the current members (they consider the official start of the band when Tatiana replaced the male vocalist and Roman joined as lead guitar 2009/2010), Vlad is the fifth drummer (joined in 2016) and it's been a group of four since 2015 (though they consider their road sound engineer Sasha to be a fifth member). I think they're still friends with all the former members and you can see their former guitarist turned actor, Dmitry Oksen, in older videos on guitar and a more recent video (Disclosure) playing an interrogator. One of the things I love most about Jinjer is the messages in Tatiana's lyrics and the way she combines growling and beautiful singing with Jinjer's fantastic instrumentals to be so powerful for expressing the anger and pain in those messages: the anti-war message in Home Back, the anti-greed in On The Top, Mediator and No Hoard Of Value (also the horror of the coal mining industry in their home Ukraine), the protest song Who Is Gonna Be The One, the anti-fascism of Sit Stay Roll Over, the anger at people being narrow minded in Teacher Teacher and Judgment & Punishment, the struggles with mental health in Pit Of Consciousness, Vortex, Wallflower and Perennial, the giving voice to mother nature angry at humanity for letting capitalism destroy her in a bunch of songs like Ape, The Prophecy, Cloud Factory, Noah, Outlander and Bad Water. Other favorites are I Speak Astronomy, Retrospection, Words of Wisdom, Just Another, Captain Clock, Scissors, Exposed As A Liar, I Want It I'll Get It, A Plus Or A Minus, Dip A Sail, When Two Empires Collide, lainnereP, Prologue and Beggar's Dance (those last two are short album bookends that could do well together in one reaction if you're so inclined). I haven't found a Jinjer song I don't love, so I think you can't go wrong if you choose any of them, but a few good choices might be Perennial (official and/or live at Wacken 2019, both are must-see), Teacher Teacher (official is the studio audio with some great footage from several shows), Judgement & Punishment (official and/or Tatiana's one take performance, again both must-see), Pit of Consciousness (official and/or live in Kiev/Kyiv, a third where both are absolutely must-see) or the heartwrenching plea against war in Home Back (official video). Thank you, Rob! I hope you'll keep trying out more Jinjer songs and enjoy! ❤🖤🤘
Whoever you are, I dig your comment. Same. I tend to go on and on and on about Jinjer. See what I did there? I threw in an extra "on" 😂 You're a fan like me. Can't get enough Jinjer. I wake up early every morning, roll over and grab my phone, and search on Jinjer in UA-cam. Most mornings it's Pisces. Those first few beautiful guitar notes from Roman have got to be the best sounds to open a song ever. I hear those notes and my heart instantly melts, every single time. My band played a benefit last weekend, and as we were setting up for soundcheck, the sound guy was playing music on his phone. It was pretty good metal and I was kinda checking it out. Then Pisces came on. Instant heart melt. I put down my bass, walked over to him and said "Dude that's my favorite song. Just saw these guys live a few weeks ago." Don't ever stop commenting! Nobody ever likes my long ass comments, but I do it anyway. Every once in a while I get in a good conversation! Thanks for the great comment. Go Jinjer Army! Slava Ukraine!
Love when people find the entrance to the Jinjer rabbit hole. Would love to see you check out "Cloud Factory official live video", "Retrospection" and Tatiana's one take vocal of "Judgement and Punishment"
I love watching people's first reaction to Jinjer. If you ever get a chance to see them live, it is well worth it. Rob keep doing what you do. I love it. You need to check out the new colab with Baby Metal and Electric Callboy called "RATATATA". It's FIRE.🤘🤘
I've watched so many reactionvideos to this song and yours is definitely my favorite. Thank you for the love, it always warms my heart to see appreciation coming from people who are new to metal :)
Yay! Another Jinjer Pisces reaction :) Me and a few others make a hobby of watching reactions to this song :) A few tidbits I've learned about Tatiana and the band: "Heavy Vocals" a.k.a. the growl utilises a different part of the throat - the part that we use to make a heave sound. It took Tatiana 12 years to train her growl this way. But this is how she can switch cleanly between the two styles. Another bit of info: This video was made to highlight their new drummer, who has had no formal training in drums - he is a classically trained pianist who taught himself so he could play in Jinjer. A great one to prove she's actually making that noise is Perennial Live at Wacken. Welcome to Jinjer!
Your reaction is priceless, with her current vocal shifts and the escalation in the song is brilliant (you will laugh at the vocal coach reactions on the mashups). The band's instrumental skills and playing style are so good in this song it's like this song was written to show of their talent.
Jinjer is one of my favorite bands! I got to see them live a few years ago and it was legitimately the most fun I've ever had at a concert! You should check out their songs "Judgment & Punishment" and "I Speak Astronomy". I'd love to see you check out the band Kittie next for Ladies Night! They were a pretty big deal when they hit the metal scene in the early 2000s and are still releasing music today. The song "Brackish" is a classic. I'm also a big fan of "What I Always Wanted" and "Until the End". You should also check out Unleash the Archers. They're an amazingly talented power metal band with a woman vocalist. I don't think I've ever heard a song from them I didn't like.
I actually met you, Rob, at evo 2022. (Im the tall black guy with dreads from cleveland)I loved the debate arc and im loving the music reactions. Much love keep it up.
You're so fun to watch. Love the reactions and laugh my ass off at your unbridled and exuberant commentary. Keep it up and good luck. You've got something.
I was supposed to see jinjer last year but it got too hot here in AZ so it got cancelled 😭 Check out "diana ankudinova falling in love". She sings TWO different tones at once😱can do opera the lowest you can imagine and in the same breath sounds like a fairy. She's a living Siren, just like Tatiana here. They are freaking incredible Women 🫶🖤
I appreciate it! And I would've let it go if there wasn't a long ass pause where I was googling where the singer is from lol. I felt so awkward noticing that the next day.
There's TWO versions of Judgement and Punishment... the actual music video (cool one too) has lines where her accent is very noticeable. By the time she did the One Take version of the song (also super cool) the accent has faded quite a bit. I'd take a look at both eventually. Fun band with interesting sound. Thanks for the reaction!!
Ladies night,why not? The growling is not through vocal folds but through the above tissue referred to as false folds. Historically, this is a proper technique in a lot of cultures called throat singing. Regarding Jinjer exploration do Perennial Live Wacken open air 2019 or her one take vocal performance of Judgement and Punishment. Similar camp is Spiritbox. Do Rule of Nines one take vocal performance. Their dirtiest sharp short piece is Holy Roller OMV is pure fun. All the Ladies' vocals.
A great female vocalist you should check out is Lzzy Hale from the band Halestorm. "I Miss The Misery" is one of their big ones, though my personal fave is the live room version of "Love Bites (So Do I)."
I really love that you appreciate the artistry in their lyrics and writing, which is even more impressive considering English a second language for her, being from Ukraine.
"Ladies Night" is a good idea. Jinjer is love. Jinjer is life. the traditional next step is _Perennial_ live at Wacken 2019 ; but i think _Teacher Teacher_ is in order here. another band that will remind you of them is Spiritbox. for THE premier ladies band, check The Warning , _Evolve_ live at MTV VMAs will blow your socks off. that ought keep you busy for a minute .... once this series gets rolling, i'll hit you with the horde of japanese female rock bands that are taking over the world. HOWEVER, if you want to merge this series with your "white boy music" series (or whatever you call it), i think you HAVE TO check out Babymetal x Electric Callboy _Ratatata_ . also, here, have a sub.
Successful harsh vocalists are usually one or more of several techniques that use completely different parts of the throat than normal singing, which is how they manage to keep doing it without losing their voice
Spiritbox - Holy Roller (Live), Jaded (Official), Circle with Me (One Take), Ultraviolet (Official), Rule of Nines (One take) One of the best female guttural vocalists out there.
Rob my man! I would LOVE to see/hear you react to “In This Moment” - lead vocals and band front person is Maria Brink. She slays it! Want a non metal lady lead group? How about Nora Jones! If you go with Nora, check out “come away with me”. 🤙🏼
The lyrics should read "Scale armour belies virgin innocence" which makes much more sense. Yes, Tatiana writes the lyrics. There are quite a few women in metal who can do this. Metalheads look at this as being routine. Some of these women have had classical training and they combine that with typical metal distortion or growls. Floor Jansen, for example, can cut between an operatic technique and a death metal growl in the span of a single note. I won't add links as YT will cut my post, but I'll leave you with a list for your ladies night. Nightwish, Floor Jansen, "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken Open Air 2013 in front of 82,000 fans Brittney Slayes, Unleash the Archers, "Awakening" full band play through Alissa White-Gluz, Arch Enemy, "Nemesis" live at Wacken Open Air 2016 Simone Simons, Epica, "Consign to Oblivion" live at the Zenith, Paris Courtney Laplante, Spiritbox, "Holy Roller" music video Tarja Turunen with Alissa White-Gluz, "Demons in You" live Christina Scabbia, Lacuna Coil, "Reckless" live at Hellfest, France Sharon den Adel, Within Temptation, "And We Run" featuring xzibit Melissa Bonny, Ad Infinitum "See You in Hell" music video Elize Ryd, Amaranthe, "Amaranthine" music video That should keep you going for a little while . . .
4:03 Never heard of her. She’s very talented but scared the crap out of me 😂 If you haven’t already, please react to Raye at the BRIT Awards 2024 Medley. She is amazing and her singing voice is phenomenal, you won’t regret it
Harper - weight of the world. She’s only 13(when the song dropped). My daughters love her! People mentioned spiritbox as well. Red handed denial is up there as well with Lauren the vocalist.
Teacher Teacher and Vortex are awesome, you'll see a lot more of what Vlad can do on the drums, really every artist in the band is a master class in what they do.
LOVE the Ladies Night! I'm going to put in my recommendation for "Handshake with Hell" by Arch Enemy. Another phenomenal female vocalist alternating between harsh and clean. They have an official music video which is great, but I like the Official Summer 2023 Recap video even more.
Would love to see The Warning on Ladies Night. All female metal band, who are sisters out of Mexico. Really any song of theirs, my favorites are "This Hell You Call a Dream" and "Disciple", especially Disciple live
Lol Jinjer is ukrainian proggy djent groove metal with complex time-signature maze, polyrhythms and multi-genre blending. They are one of the most talented 4-pieces ever. Tati is one of the best overall metal vocalists and lyricists in the business. Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session) Jinjer - Perennial (Live At Wacken 2019) Jinjer - Pit of Consciousness (Live in Kiev) Jinjer - On The Top (Live in Kiev) Jinjer - Who Is Gonna Be The One (Official Live) Jinjer - Judgement & Punishment (Tatiana One Take Vocal) Jinjer - Teacher Teacher (Official Video) Jinjer - Captain Clock (Live at Resurrection Fest 2018) Jinjer - Cloud Factory (Official Video) Jinjer - Outlander (failure .color Video) Jinjer - No Hoard of Value (Official Lyrics Video) Jinjer - I Speak Astronomy (Official Video) Jinjer - Vortex (Official Video) Jinjer - Wallflower (Official Video) Jinjer - Mediator (Official Video) Jinjer - Disclosure (Official Video) Jinjer - Call Me A Symbol (Official Video) Jinjer - Live At Wacken 2023
I wondered why it seemed unedited 😂Happens to the best of us man. I gotta suggest Unleash The Archers - Awakening for Ladies' Night. They're an AMAZING power metal band from Canada, and their lead singer Brittney Slayes is an absolute powerhouse of a vocalist.
There are definitely other women vocalists who can perform harsh vocals but IMO Tatiana is the GOAT. She is self-taught and (at least at one time) is/was a smoker which is nuts. The entire band are amazing musicians and just as good live. Welcome to the Jinjer Army. 🫡
Probably my favorite female rapper (maybe my favorite rapper, period) is Sa Roc, I definitely recommend reacting to her! Specifically her song called "Forever".
I posted this video yesterday but I didn't realize it was the UNEDITED file. I'm embarrassed as hell lol. I decided to sacrifice the views that one had in order to put up the correct video. I can't have the first episode of Ladies Night looking low effort when it wasn't! Much love and sorry for the double upload.
Check out Patreon.com/RobTV if you wanna support - blah lol
Check out Iwrestledabearonce -Tastes Like Kevin Bacon
It's a lady rock band
"Infected Rain - Fighter" for another female metal lead.
Haha I was wondering why you wanted me to watch you connect your headphones 😂 I just skipped thru it lol
@@cindybecerra9052 lmfaoooo I’d never do that
You're gonna toss your headphones away if you watch Jinjer - Perennial Live at Wacken. 🤣
That's the one where she's dressed like a ferrero rocher isn't it🤣. It's a fantastic video.
🙌🏼
Oh yess
Yessss
It is mandatory 😈🤘🏼
Judgement & punishment by jinjer Is also fantastic, with a reggea twist.
Teacher teacher is also awesome!
Yess you go love Rob
Rob would love Judgement and Punishment
If you enjoy Tatiana going back and forth from clean to growling vocals line to line then check out the live version of Perennial at the Wacken festival. She is a force of nature.
yup this one is a good second view....
Welcome to Jinjer. That's all her. Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well.
Spiritbox has to be a must. Blessed Be, Holy Roller, Circle With Me, Jaded.
Absolutely! Jaded was dominated for a grammy too, but Blessed Be is my favorite of all their songs.
Their “one take” videos are great for showing Courtney’s range
The circle with me one take is probably my favorite next to the Mara Effect live session.
I love Courtney. She is a God. Was the 1st one I ever saw. Tatiana is a goddess. Don't hurt me I love both.
Gotta throw Sunkiller in that mix.
Bro, I'm gonna keep it all the way real with you. I've seen quite a few reactions to this song and pretty much all of them take a pretty similar course. Tatiana's vocal abilities are crazy. But your reaction, is freaking wonderful. So genuine. Growling, screaming vocals are polarizing and we both know a pretty fair amount of black folks ain't into it. I love that you're open to it and actually respect her ability. Well done my friend.
Hell yes to Ladies Night, more of this please! So many awesome female vocalists around who deserve checking out
The whole band is formed by AMAZING talented musicians!
Tatiana is a metal god. She is one of a kind. I never cared much for vocals in metal, she has changed my opinion on it. The way she switches is absolutely amazing. The guitarist, bassist and drummer are awesome. The band is amazing.
Rob keep up the reactions, cause I get my LIFE 😭😭😭
Lmaoo love, Tisa! I got u!
I cannot wait until you discover Kittie. Late 90s early 2000s all girl metal band who is making a comeback. Anything from their first album Spit is amazing but their recent album was a tour de force especially We Are Shadows.
I'm happy to see them making a comeback! I missed them.
I've been seeing thumbnails of their videos pop up when I'm watching Jinjer lol but I just discovered Kittie myself. They're pretty dang cool, not gonna lie.
@@ericpeterson7512 trust me teenage me was a massive Kittie fan back in the day. Then again I’m the same age as the band members. They had a decent amount of mainstream attention here in Canada thanks to our CanCon rules. Highly recommend. If you like pop punk there was LiveonRelease in the same vein.
Oh man I haven't thought of Kittie in forever. I gotta check them out again
My mom got me into Kittie as a little girl (I was born in 93). They were instrumental in my love for metal. Love seeing someone mention them!
Its crazy how folks arent mentioning The Cranberries for Ladies Night. Zombie or Dream is a MUST. RIP Dolores O’Riordan, fly high.
Of course, Dolores is captivating. Don't listen to Cranberries often because it's too sad 😢
Cuz we like it heavy bruh
Gross
Opeth, “Ghost of Perdition “, live at Red Rocks.
Tatiana's ability to switch quickly from clean to growl and back to clean is otherworldly. And the band is on-point! Very talented band.
I found it pretty whelming. Not sure why people dig the ear grating growls given alternatives.
to reiterate from the first upload 2 points about the vocals:
1. the "growling" voice she uses is a special technique that doesn't use the vocal chords (because you would damage them) but by pressing air through the diaphragm (somewhat similar to burping, but not from the stomach but the lungs) and using the lips and tounge to form the words.

Rob you GAG me when you snatch them headphones off 😭😭😭
I was crying😂
Reacting to Floor Jansen (Nightwish) is ABSOLUTELY a must for incredibly talented metal lady singers !!!
Absolutely. Great shout out
4:06 says it all Rob. LOL
Reactions to this song never disappoint! 🔥
it is a good addiction.
Every time I see someone react to this the first time its entertaining. This reaction was one of the best! Good to see you recognise the band and song writing too.
WE REALLY WON YALL!! ❤❤❤ so excited for more ladies night! Women are just top tier! Let's go!!!
love that
You need to get the Oscar Nominee metal band "Spiritbox", they have an amazing female vocalist
Great to see you do this, I'm here for this concept!
Tatiana is fantastic: she's got some power, she's got a great range of tones when she's doing her growl and she knows how to use them, and it's actually pretty clear what she's singing while growling too, which more than a few singers give up on when they growl.

If you wanna switch it up, Nightwish its a nice change, or Epica as a sidestep.
Posting up. I like that. Like Big Game James Worthy in the paint. Ready for a Jinjer slamma jamma! Money!
Epica is excellent.- but if there's going to be rock Joan Jett is also a must :D
You should check out OTEP which is a female lead band. Otep Shamaya the lead singer was actually the one who when Tatiana heard was inspired to do harsh vocals. She was one of the early pioneers among female singers doing harsh vocals
I'll comment... again. I'm glad you did Jinjer "Pisces", because it's a must for every reaction channel.
My next suggestion would be "Glory Box" by Portishead. Beth Gibbons is the vocalist. They are classified as trip hop, alternative rock, psychedelic rock... and a few other things by Wikipedia. Great band, cool vibe...
Tatiana is amazing ! Her voice is like no other 🖤 ty for reaction . You are awesome to watch
This is the song the best indicator on if a reactor genuinely watches vids for the first time as advertised. I know you do, but I know you've had doubters. This reaction will clear that up. Another great job sir

TLDR: skip to the last paragraph 😂
Sorry for the long comment, I just love Jinjer too much and love seeing people discover (and usually fall in love with) them and each of their songs!
My three favorite comments about Jinjer that I've seen, "terrifying levels of talent", "I hate it when a Jinjer song ends", and "that was more unexpected than my first child" 🤣
All four current members of Jinjer have essentially no formal musical training except Vlad the drummer who studied classical piano. For most of their songs, the three guys write most of the instrument music, then Tatiana writes most of the lyrics and melodies (she gets tons of well deserved credit for her vocal and stage performance abilities, but maybe not quite enough for her lyrical and musical composition abilities). Roman the guitarist has written a lot of the instrument music in the past, so he's a huge part of the beautiful sound of Jinjer, but Vlad the drummer (who also plays guitar and classical piano, but so far not in most Jinjer songs - I think he played piano in lainnereP) has been writing more of it and wrote nine of the eleven songs for the latest album Wallflowers. Eugene composes some - he wrote the instrument music for one song on Wallflowers and a few songs on other albums, and I know that apart from his amazing work on the bass, he adds riffs and has written lyrics for a few Jinjer songs.
Jinjer has been a tour-heavy band, touring almost nonstop from 2013 to 2020 and much of the time since then (with interruptions by covid and the US backed coup/proxy war), hard work that has made them fantastic live performers. The band (all members have been Ukrainian, with Russian their first language) started in eastern Ukraine (Donetsk) in 2008 as a group of three (then five) with none of the current members (they consider the official start of the band when Tatiana replaced the male vocalist and Roman joined as lead guitar 2009/2010), Vlad is the fifth drummer (joined in 2016) and it's been a group of four since 2015 (though they consider their road sound engineer Sasha to be a fifth member). I think they're still friends with all the former members and you can see their former guitarist turned actor, Dmitry Oksen, in older videos on guitar and a more recent video (Disclosure) playing an interrogator.
One of the things I love most about Jinjer is the messages in Tatiana's lyrics and the way she combines growling and beautiful singing with Jinjer's fantastic instrumentals to be so powerful for expressing the anger and pain in those messages: the anti-war message in Home Back, the anti-greed in On The Top, Mediator and No Hoard Of Value (also the horror of the coal mining industry in their home Ukraine), the protest song Who Is Gonna Be The One, the anti-fascism of Sit Stay Roll Over, the anger at people being narrow minded in Teacher Teacher and Judgment & Punishment, the struggles with mental health in Pit Of Consciousness, Vortex, Wallflower and Perennial, the giving voice to mother nature angry at humanity for letting capitalism destroy her in a bunch of songs like Ape, The Prophecy, Cloud Factory, Noah, Outlander and Bad Water. Other favorites are I Speak Astronomy, Retrospection, Words of Wisdom, Just Another, Captain Clock, Scissors, Exposed As A Liar, I Want It I'll Get It, A Plus Or A Minus, Dip A Sail, When Two Empires Collide, lainnereP, Prologue and Beggar's Dance (those last two are short album bookends that could do well together in one reaction if you're so inclined).
I haven't found a Jinjer song I don't love, so I think you can't go wrong if you choose any of them, but a few good choices might be Perennial (official and/or live at Wacken 2019, both are must-see), Teacher Teacher (official is the studio audio with some great footage from several shows), Judgement & Punishment (official and/or Tatiana's one take performance, again both must-see), Pit of Consciousness (official and/or live in Kiev/Kyiv, a third where both are absolutely must-see) or the heartwrenching plea against war in Home Back (official video).
Thank you, Rob! I hope you'll keep trying out more Jinjer songs and enjoy! ❤🖤🤘
Whoever you are, I dig your comment. Same. I tend to go on and on and on about Jinjer. See what I did there? I threw in an extra "on" 😂
You're a fan like me. Can't get enough Jinjer. I wake up early every morning, roll over and grab my phone, and search on Jinjer in UA-cam. Most mornings it's Pisces. Those first few beautiful guitar notes from Roman have got to be the best sounds to open a song ever. I hear those notes and my heart instantly melts, every single time.
My band played a benefit last weekend, and as we were setting up for soundcheck, the sound guy was playing music on his phone. It was pretty good metal and I was kinda checking it out. Then Pisces came on. Instant heart melt. I put down my bass, walked over to him and said "Dude that's my favorite song. Just saw these guys live a few weeks ago."
Don't ever stop commenting! Nobody ever likes my long ass comments, but I do it anyway. Every once in a while I get in a good conversation!
Thanks for the great comment. Go Jinjer Army! Slava Ukraine!
Love when people find the entrance to the Jinjer rabbit hole. Would love to see you check out "Cloud Factory official live video", "Retrospection" and Tatiana's one take vocal of "Judgement and Punishment"
I love watching people's first reaction to Jinjer. If you ever get a chance to see them live, it is well worth it. Rob keep doing what you do. I love it. You need to check out the new colab with Baby Metal and Electric Callboy called "RATATATA". It's FIRE.🤘🤘
usually the bands like this have one that sings clean and one that sings the deep screaming voice. quite a talent to do both.
You need to check out judgement by jinjer. Two styles is impressive three is crazy.
I've watched so many reactionvideos to this song and yours is definitely my favorite. Thank you for the love, it always warms my heart to see appreciation coming from people who are new to metal :)
Yay! Another Jinjer Pisces reaction :) Me and a few others make a hobby of watching reactions to this song :) A few tidbits I've learned about Tatiana and the band: "Heavy Vocals" a.k.a. the growl utilises a different part of the throat - the part that we use to make a heave sound. It took Tatiana 12 years to train her growl this way. But this is how she can switch cleanly between the two styles. Another bit of info: This video was made to highlight their new drummer, who has had no formal training in drums - he is a classically trained pianist who taught himself so he could play in Jinjer. A great one to prove she's actually making that noise is Perennial Live at Wacken. Welcome to Jinjer!
Tatiana is a modern marvel. Sounds even better live.
Vortex is a Masterpiece
I'll second that emotion. Vortex and Home Back are probably my two favorites. This week.
Your reaction is priceless, with her current vocal shifts and the escalation in the song is brilliant (you will laugh at the vocal coach reactions on the mashups). The band's instrumental skills and playing style are so good in this song it's like this song was written to show of their talent.
Jinjer is one of my favorite bands! I got to see them live a few years ago and it was legitimately the most fun I've ever had at a concert! You should check out their songs "Judgment & Punishment" and "I Speak Astronomy".
I'd love to see you check out the band Kittie next for Ladies Night! They were a pretty big deal when they hit the metal scene in the early 2000s and are still releasing music today. The song "Brackish" is a classic. I'm also a big fan of "What I Always Wanted" and "Until the End".
You should also check out Unleash the Archers. They're an amazingly talented power metal band with a woman vocalist. I don't think I've ever heard a song from them I didn't like.
I love the lyrics breakdown. It gives a real sense of what this song is about. Thank You
I actually met you, Rob, at evo 2022. (Im the tall black guy with dreads from cleveland)I loved the debate arc and im loving the music reactions. Much love keep it up.
Arch Enemy - Deceiver, Deceiver.... For ladies night!
Loved this react! Another great lady-fronted angelic screamo band is In This Moment.
You're so fun to watch. Love the reactions and laugh my ass off at your unbridled and exuberant commentary. Keep it up and good luck. You've got something.
I was supposed to see jinjer last year but it got too hot here in AZ so it got cancelled 😭 Check out "diana ankudinova falling in love". She sings TWO different tones at once😱can do opera the lowest you can imagine and in the same breath sounds like a fairy. She's a living Siren, just like Tatiana here. They are freaking incredible Women 🫶🖤
Jinjer - Perennial Live at Wacken is a must.
Arch Enemy - Nemesis (Angela Gossow) Live in Japan
Was actually kinda cool to get a look at the unedited version. New comment for the algorithm ✌️
I appreciate it! And I would've let it go if there wasn't a long ass pause where I was googling where the singer is from lol. I felt so awkward noticing that the next day.
Tati is my dream woman. She's amazing. Love this
Welcome! 🤣🤣🤣 Welcome to the awesome, and amazing Jinjer🤩
Next, Teacher Teacher by Jinjer.
There's TWO versions of Judgement and Punishment... the actual music video (cool one too) has lines where her accent is very noticeable. By the time she did the One Take version of the song (also super cool) the accent has faded quite a bit. I'd take a look at both eventually. Fun band with interesting sound. Thanks for the reaction!!
Fun reaction dude, I have often had the same "damn humans are cool" reaction to some of the singers in metal, Tatiana included
Definitely do Arch Enemy! Both ex-vocalist Angela Gossow and current vocalist Alissa White-Gluz will blow your mind.
Also Tristania!
Yes. This is what I like. I was going to start suggesting this a lot.
Tatyana is a powerhouse of a vocalist.
Dude I loved this reaction! This was exactly how I reacted when watching this same studio video. They are actually amazing!
The A New Hope poster in the back is FIRE
What's wild is that her growls actually sound better live
Also, she sings & screams to a reggae beat that's dope as hell. She does the song in one freaking take!! Ok, byyyye 🖖✌️
I appreciate you reading the lyrics 🙏 no one actually hears the story she tells! I freaking love her🫶🖤
Ladies night,why not?
The growling is not through vocal folds but through the above tissue referred to as false folds. Historically, this is a proper technique in a lot of cultures called throat singing.
Regarding Jinjer exploration do Perennial Live Wacken open air 2019 or her one take vocal performance of Judgement and Punishment.
Similar camp is Spiritbox. Do Rule of Nines one take vocal performance. Their dirtiest sharp short piece is Holy Roller OMV is pure fun.
All the Ladies' vocals.
I NEED MORE LADIES NIGHT!!! BABYMETAL, KITTIE, PARAMOUR AND EVANESANCE ARE ALL GREAT FEMALE METAL/ROCK BANDS!!
A great female vocalist you should check out is Lzzy Hale from the band Halestorm. "I Miss The Misery" is one of their big ones, though my personal fave is the live room version of "Love Bites (So Do I)."
I love Tatiana. ❤she’s all that n a slice of cake too. Bc hearing her is so much aural enjoyment
I really love that you appreciate the artistry in their lyrics and writing, which is even more impressive considering English a second language for her, being from Ukraine.
Been waiting so long for this one and it was worth the wait...welcome to the amazing world of Tatiana🤘🏻🤘🏻
"Ladies Night" is a good idea.
Jinjer is love. Jinjer is life. the traditional next step is _Perennial_ live at Wacken 2019 ; but i think _Teacher Teacher_ is in order here.
another band that will remind you of them is Spiritbox.
for THE premier ladies band, check The Warning , _Evolve_ live at MTV VMAs will blow your socks off.
that ought keep you busy for a minute .... once this series gets rolling, i'll hit you with the horde of japanese female rock bands that are taking over the world.
HOWEVER, if you want to merge this series with your "white boy music" series (or whatever you call it), i think you HAVE TO check out Babymetal x Electric Callboy _Ratatata_ .
also, here, have a sub.
Yeah the lyrics for Teacher Teacher are fire!
For sure. Teacher teacher live is killer.
Love the ladies night concept! Listen to Epica "Storm of Sorrow" or "Cry for the moon", and Nightwish's Tarja "Until my last breath".
Successful harsh vocalists are usually one or more of several techniques that use completely different parts of the throat than normal singing, which is how they manage to keep doing it without losing their voice
Internally every metalhead feels this same reaction! It's awesome stuff!
you GOTTA do Judgment and Punishment One Take vocal
Spiritbox - Holy Roller (Live), Jaded (Official), Circle with Me (One Take), Ultraviolet (Official), Rule of Nines (One take) One of the best female guttural vocalists out there.
Was literally in the middle of watching the vid u replaced 🤣🤣
Lmao well I'm glad you're experiencing this one instead
Rob my man! I would LOVE to see/hear you react to “In This Moment” - lead vocals and band front person is Maria Brink. She slays it!
Want a non metal lady lead group? How about Nora Jones! If you go with Nora, check out “come away with me”. 🤙🏼
Their live stuff is even better! Gotta check out Crypta from Brazil next, and I'm sure you'd get a kick out of Zeal & Ardor 😎😎
The lyrics should read "Scale armour belies virgin innocence" which makes much more sense. Yes, Tatiana writes the lyrics.
There are quite a few women in metal who can do this. Metalheads look at this as being routine. Some of these women have had classical training and they combine that with typical metal distortion or growls. Floor Jansen, for example, can cut between an operatic technique and a death metal growl in the span of a single note. I won't add links as YT will cut my post, but I'll leave you with a list for your ladies night.
Nightwish, Floor Jansen, "Ghost Love Score" live at Wacken Open Air 2013 in front of 82,000 fans
Brittney Slayes, Unleash the Archers, "Awakening" full band play through
Alissa White-Gluz, Arch Enemy, "Nemesis" live at Wacken Open Air 2016
Simone Simons, Epica, "Consign to Oblivion" live at the Zenith, Paris
Courtney Laplante, Spiritbox, "Holy Roller" music video
Tarja Turunen with Alissa White-Gluz, "Demons in You" live
Christina Scabbia, Lacuna Coil, "Reckless" live at Hellfest, France
Sharon den Adel, Within Temptation, "And We Run" featuring xzibit
Melissa Bonny, Ad Infinitum "See You in Hell" music video
Elize Ryd, Amaranthe, "Amaranthine" music video
That should keep you going for a little while . . .
That's a solid list!
Nope it is blaze Tati has stated so in interviews.
You can have a ball to rock music.
..or drop one.
Beautiful!
Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole. Judgment and Punishment vocal on take version is A MUST to react to next.
Love Jinjer--Tatiana is the best.
The Warning for ladies night, you'll see
4:03 Never heard of her. She’s very talented but scared the crap out of me 😂
If you haven’t already, please react to Raye at the BRIT Awards 2024 Medley. She is amazing and her singing voice is phenomenal, you won’t regret it
Tatiana is just phenomenal
Harper - weight of the world. She’s only 13(when the song dropped). My daughters love her! People mentioned spiritbox as well. Red handed denial is up there as well with Lauren the vocalist.
now watch "Home Back". life gets real.
Sir Rob, you have been initiated into the fold. Next from Jinjer, plz do Teacher Teacher. You will love it.
Judgment & punishment is amazing too! She has a reggae vibe.
Teacher Teacher and Vortex are awesome, you'll see a lot more of what Vlad can do on the drums, really every artist in the band is a master class in what they do.
i think she has the best range in the game up there with howard jones
i do wish they did more stuff like this
LOVE the Ladies Night! I'm going to put in my recommendation for "Handshake with Hell" by Arch Enemy. Another phenomenal female vocalist alternating between harsh and clean. They have an official music video which is great, but I like the Official Summer 2023 Recap video even more.
Would love to see The Warning on Ladies Night. All female metal band, who are sisters out of Mexico.
Really any song of theirs, my favorites are "This Hell You Call a Dream" and "Disciple", especially Disciple live
Lol Jinjer is ukrainian proggy djent groove metal with complex time-signature maze, polyrhythms and multi-genre blending. They are one of the most talented 4-pieces ever. Tati is one of the best overall metal vocalists and lyricists in the business.

Check out Conquer Divide for your ladies night! ALL FEMALE ROCK BAND!! Deserves to be featured on Ladies Night!!
You said, her voice is smooth as butter and I giggled.. then said WHAT THE FUQ .. FAST!!!😂❤
When he said her voice was smooth as butter I giggled and said "Oh just wait." 😂
I wondered why it seemed unedited 😂Happens to the best of us man.
I gotta suggest Unleash The Archers - Awakening for Ladies' Night. They're an AMAZING power metal band from Canada, and their lead singer Brittney Slayes is an absolute powerhouse of a vocalist.
There are definitely other women vocalists who can perform harsh vocals but IMO Tatiana is the GOAT. She is self-taught and (at least at one time) is/was a smoker which is nuts. The entire band are amazing musicians and just as good live. Welcome to the Jinjer Army. 🫡
Look at who putting me on! Appreciate ya Rob!
Check out the Band Brutus from Belgium. The song War live at Rain City. Incredible performance from an awesome band that keeps getting better.
Great reaction. Cracked me up. Perennial Live Ar Waken next. Ridiculous split in her voice
Probably my favorite female rapper (maybe my favorite rapper, period) is Sa Roc, I definitely recommend reacting to her! Specifically her song called "Forever".
