And it never fails.....every time they pause just before the change because of that rift just before it happens is a natural break, and then the 180 hits them.
Her harsh vocals come from the vestibular vocal folds, not the true vocal cords. It's a technique that allows for this kind of singing without damage of any kind. The Charismatic Voice did a video with Will Ramos where they put a camera down his throat while he did different harsh vocals, the mechanics of it are WAY different than singing in a clean tone.
@@ghoulthebraineater no. as a former death metal vocalist,i can tell you belching isnt even on the same planet, and takes alot of practice to develop your range. but similar to riding a bike, once you learn how youll still be able to do it after a long hiatus from singing, albeit with a bit of sore throat lol
The Disturbed tour is over now, but there are still a few Jinjer headlining dates left on their tour with Monuments. IMO you're better off seeing them headlining, when they play a longer set in a smaller venue where you can see them up close. I saw them a few weeks ago for the second time, and they're amazing live. Well worth going out of your way to see!
Welcome to Jinjer. Tatiana is a vocal goddess and the band's musicianship is second to none. They are from Ukraine. English is actually their third language. The emeralds being ripped away are the scales of the fish (Pisces) on the cutting board of the handsome butchers. Have the lyrics handy, Tatiana was a literature major in university and she writes great lyrics. I highly recommend either "Perennial" live at Wacken or "Teacher, Teacher" (OMV) for a follow up. Great reaction (Subbed)
Yep yep yep, the emeralds are the "scale armor" of the Pisces fish. My theory is that's what's tattooed on her left upper arm. I don't think it's necessarily a love song, but I do think when she says "Searching for a hook to catch on and see the sunbeam" she's expressing the desire that someone would rescue her from swimming all her life against the stream of being alone. She did get married a couple years ago.
I'd suggest "Home Back" too, due to how (more) significant it became a year and a half ago. It was an anti war protest for what was happening in their home city of Donetsk, where putin endorsed separatist movement made them leave in 2014. Not long after that single was released, as we know, the song became relevant to their whole country. Last year they released t-shirts based on that song, with their logo painted with blue-yellow, to raise funds for aid to people on bomb shelters (Kiev was still under siege back then). And I'm a proud owner of one of those shirts who already fulfilled the purpose of a band t-shirt: attend one of their concerts wearing it, and no words to describe how great they are on stage, specially Tatiana!
She’s not doing any damage to her vocal chords, none! Her growl comes from the “false folds” above her actual vocal chords. Her “true voice” is lovely & will continue to be so, her growl is awesome & she’ll be able to do it for as long as she chooses to do it, no damage, pure talent!
It's a song about the duality inside of us, inside of her own self. The positive and the negative, the balanced part and the unhinged, suffering part, the part that gets us to do our best and the aspects of our personality that betray us. The imagery of the lyrics is very metaphorical, Pisces (the fishes) being an astrological sign of duality.
I'd add also between her lonliness and desire for connection, introverted fear of intimacy, and the times she's been taken advantage emotionally by guys she's tried to connect with. This was before she met Alex Lopez and got married. She seems a lot more confident and grounded these days so hats off to him.
This song has a lot of layers to the duality metaphor. The juxtaposition of her vocals, the difference in the way the instruments are distorted in the different sections, I'm pretty sure the time signature changes as well. It might be reaching, but the fact that her outfit is opposite colors I'm sure was a thematic choice. There's also the theme of naivette compared to the harsh reality, reflected in her vocals. Love love love this song
Jinjer is the name of the band. They are from the Ukraine. The singers name is Tatiana. There is no effect on her voice she is doing it all by herself. The pedal Roman the gitarrist is pushing is for changing the tone of the guitar. Maybe you should watch Perennial live at Wacken or the one take vocal performance of Judgement & Punishment next to convince yourself.
@@burritogod59pedantic much? Obviously, virtually every professional grade musical studio recording in history uses effects. But it's just the standard array used here. The original commenter is very clearly expressing that her harsh vocal sounds are not achieved via effects.
Jinjer is an incredibly talented band. Tatiana does not use effects, those are her true vocals. She's highly skilled and trained to do that in a healthy way. Saw Jinjer live last month and can say without a doubt she is a beast...super consistent and amazing on every song. Check out Teacher, Teacher; Perennial; Vortex; or the live tracking of Judgement and Punishment. The pedal you saw was for the guitar, changes the sound from the clean/reverb in the verse to the heavier distortion for the chorus.
@@burritogod59 Well, yes there is layering and other effects for production...but he was specifically asking if she uses a growl effect...which of course, she doesn't.
Teacher, Teacher Sit, Stay, Roll Over Perennial (LIVE AT WAKKEN) Just Another I Speak Astronomy Outlander ALL great Jinjer songs! Tatiana's vocals are amazing. I honestly love Perennial live because it shows how amazingly she sustains notes but also how dirty, gritty, low her gutturals can go!
Since I have been a musician for a long time I can give you some good advice, listen to this band carefully, there are not many bands that develop their own style, Jinjer is one of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only have suberlatives about this band and I definitely don't come from the metal etc. musical genre, but Jinjer blows me away and has been for 6 years..... and you're absolutely right in what you said, the band allows Tati to use her versatility in her voice perfectly... warm greetings from germany & see you soon > subbed and maybe next: JINJER - Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019) | Napalm Records
This song is about duality at its core, more or less, hence the drastic switch-up. The Pisces sign is two fish, swimming in balance - one light and one dark, life and death. She's talking about the opposing traits that exist within her - how she likes people, but avoids getting too close, because she's fragile and skittish. How she has scaled armor to protect her, but when she actually lets down her walls to trust people, she gets destroyed. A truly amazing song!
This is by far my favorite reaction to her harsh vocals. It IS weird, strange, unexpected…but fucking amazing. She is a BEAST and makes it SO natural and easy appearing. She’s tiny, her speaking voice is so dainty, you just don’t expect it. I love Jinjer so much
i had no idea how much i was craving this reaction until i saw the thumbnail, absolutely great choice! edit: Jinjer was my entry into metal, my dad showed that exact video to me and im so grateful for that. another edit cus thoughts keep popping up: a lot of people are recommending teacher teacher, which I highly agree with, that was my second song. Another great song to react to is perennial, while teacher teacher is heavier, perennial hits hard with abit more beauty and poetry(imo)
Spot on. This track brought me back into metal. I stopped listening in the 90's ("hair metal" was just an embarrassing misogynistic mess) but Jinjer renewed my passion. Teacher, Teacher was my favourite Jinjer track until recently, I never thought they would top it. But then Home Back, Wallflower and Vortex blew me away. Amazing, brave, creative people.
Great modern female fronted rock bands: (my rankings) Evanescence Halestorm Nightwish Within Temptation Pretty Reckless Something about female rockers!❤❤
Welcome to the amazing and beautiful world of jinjer,brother. Her name is Tatiana and her and the band come from Ukraine and she has recently moved to the USA during the wars they are facing. You should definitely go down the rabbit hole of this band. They are amazing!!
Jinjer has been my favorite band for many years. Also best show I’ve ever been to, they are way better live which is rare. Check out all their music best musicianship I’ve seen and some of the best lyrics. Eugene the bass player has bass play throughs which I’m sure you’d enjoy. That button that was press was a guitar pedal to go from clean atmospheric tones to distortion. There’s videos of Tatiana without a microphone which sounds even better than the recordings.
I love that so many people reacting to this seem to come to the same conclusion. When she is singing she has the voice of an angel and the moment she begins growling it's like a demon has come crawling out of the darkest depths of Hell. One moment your heart flutters and the next you have a cold chill racing down your spine. Indescribably beautiful and utterly terrifying.
May well be the most active reaction, out of at least 100 I've seen. Enjoyed it immensely! The army will direct you to your next step in the rabbit hole. Looking forward to it.
Pro tip. You'll get used to the growls and you will understand them better as you continue your metal journey but just to be save i would reccomend pulling up the lyrics to those metal songs because they are extremely poetic and rich on meaning. Jinjer is such a great band, they are definately in my top three of all time next to System of a down and Tool. Much love ❤
Knowing the lyrics will never really spoil the song because there are so many ways those lyrics can be woven into a song and so many different musical compositions Tati might be working from you'll never know what to expect.
This is the song that got me started on reaction videos, and it never gets old watching people pause in that relaxed period, commenting on her angelic voice, right before she whips it out and beats them with her other voice. 🤣👌
@TeddyGreyOS More than just this one song, but it is a top favorite! I binged a few of your other videos at work, it's always fun seeing someone who is open minded enough to embrace new things. There is SO much outstanding music out there, and you seem to be genuinely blown away over and over as you learn about new bands.
Best description of Tatiana I've seen: The perfect metal voice. Sings like an angel, screams like demon. Edit: Being able to do growling and screaming like she does only causes damage to the vocal chords if you're doing it wrong. She's not doing it wrong.
"Scaled armor blaze virgin innocence, one being brings life, the other runs for death"...My favorite Jinjer songs, Perennial live at Wacken, Outlander, from the early days of the band, I speak astronomy, at age 58 I went to my first metal show to see Jinjer, Space of variations (another great ukrainian band ), and POD. I was blown away. it is never too late to discover all the great genres of music..including metal, classic rock, grunge, etc, etc. If you get to the oldies please do Tobacco Road by the Winters brothers and Inside Looking Out by Grand Funk Railroad1969(..classic blues and blues based guitar driven rock...the grandfather of the heavy stuff!!)
Welcome to Jinjer, I hope you continue with this amazing band! This is a very fun and unique rabbit hole to fall into as every song is different and all are great! Awesome reaction!
Welcome to Jinjer, they are incredible! They are incredible and and the singer Tatiana is a vocal beast! Check out them doing "Perennial" live at Wacken to see them live.
Jinjer: "Teacher, Teacher" will blow you away! They blend different styles so seamlessly. By the way, the pedal was to lower the Guitar, not her voice. She's doing it all naturally. You will see in full live settings.
You should do some Opeth, one of the bands being an inspiration for this one. From soft to hard, I can recommend 'Era' (video), Harlequin Forest (live), and 'Deliverance' (studio recording).
Teddy, I've been following your journey since Falling in Reverse - Watch the World Burn and hoped from the start that you would get to Jinjer. Your open minded approach to discovering the heavier genres is so refreshing and wholesome, thanks for that! Tatiana is doing this in a healthy way, but yes, it does take training and conditioning. For more information on the techniques used for harsh vocals I'd say go check out the video "the Charismatic Voice" did with Will Ramos when they stuck a camera down his nose and into his throat, but I think you should react to "Lorna Shore - To the Hellfire" before you look at what goes on while he is doing vocals (Will is the vocalist for Lorna Shore). Not entirely sure you are ready for Lorna yet, however, as already mentioned, your approach is commendable and you might just enjoy it! Jinjer is amazing, they are a Ukrainian band and they are equally epic to see live. Definitely check out their live performance of "Perennial" at Wacken Open Air 2019, it is mindblowing what she pulls off on the last song of a set! As for this one, Pisces is the zodiac sign of the two fish, all about duality, which is seen in the highly contrasting parts of the song itself, but further explored in the lyrics. The initial harsh vocals are: Scale armour belies Virgin innocence One being brings life Another runs for death I won't get into the entire rabbit hole of the lyrics (this comment is long enough as it is 😅), but seeing as you asked specifically about the emeralds being ripped away, that's a reference to scaling a fish, but of course also metaphorical.
It's a point of friendly disagreement whether she says "belies" or "blaze" after scale armor. The lyrics read "blaze" and that's what Tatiana says it is. Some folks think "belies" makes more sense. I disagree. She sings it as two syllables "buh-laze," and I think that's partly why some believe it's "belies." Either one kinda works lyrically, but blaze makes perfect poetic sense to me. Also, note in their live show, on the vertical screens behind them the imagery of greenish fish scales appears as the song goes into the chorus--then the scales blaze orange. Someone should ask her that question at a meet n' greet and post it on the video for us! 😉 Interestingly, I saw recent concert footage where Tatiana says "I hope you got the joke, huh?" after she sings "Cause I'm selfless."
Jinjer is from Eastern Ukraine and they lost their home when Russia invaded in 2014 and you have to listen to the song "Home Back" and watch the music video They will write the songs in Russian and then translate them into English and all the men in the band were left in the war 24/2-22 for over half a year when they played in the USA and Europe and they were allowed to play But I can recommend you a Swedish band that toured with them before the pandemic and that is Arch Enemy (has had two female singers since 2000)
Haha your reaction is a lot like my original reaction. Like WHAT!? I was whooping and running around the room in disbelief too. I think I had always wanted to like harsh vocals, but I never had. It's the contrast here that makes Tatiana so special. And this song is all about contrast and duality. One being brings life, another runs for DEATH! And yeah, the way she roars on "death" would send a lion running. She's a predatory beast on the hunt. One of the many crazy things about this band is how quiet, reserved and downright shy Tatiana is off the stage. It's her mild-mannered alter ego. When she steps on the stage it's a total transformation into the superhero rock goddess I call Captain Metal. Sorta like Marvel's Captain Marvel--but metal!! She is scary awesome on stage. She dominates like few can. Personally, I love seeing women in traditionally male roles like this. It's empowering and righteous. This proves the old line "Anything you can do, I can do better." You won't find any guy who can do this any better than Tatiana. She's the real deal. The Queen of Metal. Vlad, Roman and Eugene are pretty regal themselves. Metal royalty.
Your shock and joy was wonderful to watch. I felt like I was hearing them for the first time all over again. They are incredible live. I encourage you go see them if you can.
I just can't stop watching Jinjer reactions. And the way you rocked out with this song, you've always been a metalhead, my dude. You just didn't know it for a while. 😂
For those wondering about the screamed lyrics: "Scale armour belies, Virgin innocence. One being brings life, Another runs for death." And then: "Pisces swimming through the river, All her life against the stream, Searching for a hook to catch on, And see the sunbeam. Then suffocate in painful tortures, On cutting tables of callous men, Under a knife of handsome butchers, Emeralds are ripped away" So the song is about literally being a Pisces. Being loving and creative and low on ego, but also being sensitive and vulnerable to being hurt. So she's not a lion, she's a fish. The emeralds are fish scales (her armour) Hence the vocal change, it's about the duality. Two fish swimming in opposite directions. I'm not into astrology, which makes it annoying how well Pisces (my sign) represents me, and how hard I relate to this song.
She angelic and demonic she is lovely and she is scary she is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and she is GORGEOUS. I love Tatiana and she scares the shit out of me.
hey teddy, just wanted to point out that "false chord" growling can be done without any damage to your vocal tract. it uses a separate organ to regular speech (the false vocal chords).
I had the absolute pleasure to see them live in 2018 at the tinniest bar in Córdoba (ARG) when they weren´t that famous The power and presence that 1.60m woman has it's HUUUGE
Jinjer is a ukrainian metal core band. So english is their third language after russian and ukrainian. The song is about the zodiac sign pisces and its double nature, being evasive and skiddish on one side and want to go deep and experience all on the other. Three band members are pisces including the vocalist Tatiana and the bassist Eugene who wrote the lyrics as I understand.
It gives me immense joy to see folks who don't typically listen to metal get roped into Jinjer reaction videos. Once they get over the initial shock of Tatiana's vocal range they all get infected with the groove of the song itself. The entire band is so immensely talented. And they are just as tight in concert. All hail Jinjer! We metal heads are not worthy!
this song is about the fish sign Pisces when she goes hard she says: Scale armor bellies, virgin innocence. One being brings life, another runs for death. My favorite from jinjer is the song Teacher Teacher. btw the emeralds are ripped away cause she talkes about butchers right before that.
A lot of it is about the astrological sign Pisces hence the name. The sign for that is a fish which again is what a lot of the song references. Emeralds are important to the sign of Pisces. Enjoy Tatiana !!!!
I was hoping you had this on your channel. I love this song, and to watch reactions to it. Everybody has the same moment, to say the least. Great reaction!
Actually, it takes very little to no suffering if it's done right. It does take a lot of training, because most people rarely (consciously) use the false cords, but when done right, it doesn't hurt or strain the voice at all. It's also not as loud as most people think - if you watch most extreme metal singers, they stay very close to the mic while screaming or growling, because it is hardly louder than normal singing. I always love first reactions to this, because while there are a few very impressive female extreme metal singers (check out Angela Gossow's work with Arch Enemy for reference), Tatjana's mixture of angelic clear vocals and very strong (and versatile!) harsh vocals always blows everybody away!
Re vocal effects: not effects as such but there is a lot of editing on this piece, including layering her cleans and also layering her mid-range and low growls which makes it a bit more shocking. They were a little-known band when they released this and nobody expected this piece to be under as much of a microscope it ended up being. Since this they don't edit her growls but will sometimes layer in cleans. For my part I love all aspects of her voice so much I just always prefer it in its rawest purest form, but on the studio stuff I guess their production team has to earn their pay heh. From my perspective there are two ways masculinity can respond to such ostentatious feminine power: to be intimidated or to get stronger. Just saying. ;) Completely unrelated, Eugene the bassist earned silver at the Abu Dhabi qualifying tournament in Kyiv a few years back. :D All of them have ridiculously diverse musical influences. For the guys there's lots of jazz and blues influences. Vlad their drummer is the only one with classical training (as a pianist) as he was from the more affluent west of Ukraine while the other three were from a coal mining town in the Donbass but had to leave their homes behind to contine their careers after the 2014 war. Tati's influences also extend to reggae and rap and she frequently uses rap cadences in her growls and occasionally in her cleans as well. Recommended next steps: Teacher Teacher official - we mostly recommend concert videos but there isn't a definitive live video for Teacher Teacher and the omv is so good it's a fan favorite that's stood the test of time, with more hip hop influence in Tatiana's performance thsn most. The live from Melbourne is goid for watching Tati do the insane switching in the beginning live, but Eugene's bass is too low in the mix so the BrBrDENG bits at the end are disappointingly weak. Perennial live at Wacken. The omv is _gorgeous_ but the charisma and technical skill on display in the Wacken video (it's German so you'll get points for pronouncing it "Vahken") has completely eclipsed the omv - well worth at least watching the omv and some have done double features with both versions, just saying. ;) Who Is Gonna Be The One - very raw but high quality audio recording of a show at a small Ukrainian festival called Atlas Weekend (if you want to find the non-video track - it's very differentfrom the original studio recoding, long story). I feel like anyone preparing to play a female superhero should watch it. Daily. It's 80% growls though so I highly recommend reading the lyrics first. It's one of their most Rage Against The Machine -style protest songs. (You've heard RATM, right? If not do Kiiling In The Name, preferably the live video with 84M views) Pit Of Consciousness live in Kiev (now Kyiv) one of their most musically and visually stunning videos. Don't do it next though, save it for later. Home Back official: incredibly powerful anti-war song. Based on their experiences and the shock and confusion they felt when their hometown in eastern Ukraine was caught in the 2014 war that set the stage for the 2022 invasion. Not enough anti war media is told from the eyes of ordinary people caught in a war through their own authentic work rather than through some other platform's agenda. It speaks powerfully to the experiences of the millions of ordinary people caught in every war. Brutal and heartbreacking song brought to life through the superb work of a production team in Kyiv in 2020. Subbed. Cheers!
Great comment, love your take on masculinity. I'm one of those guys who says "More power to her!" It's empowering for all of us when each of us is elevated. I love seeing women excel and even dominate in traditionally male-dominated fields. Tati is Queen!

@@ghoulthebraineater Holy shit, that is the most sensible explanation of how the this kind of vocal works!

This song is about duality at its core, more or less, hence the drastic switch-up. The Pisces sign is two fish, swimming in balance - one light and one dark, life and death. She's talking about the opposing traits that exist within her - how she likes people, but avoids getting too close, because she's fragile and skittish. How she has scaled armor to protect her, but when she actually lets down her walls to trust people, she gets destroyed. A truly amazing song!
Was about to add this myself
❤😂 your reactions never disappoint! Keep it up!
‘Teacher teacher’ next😊😊?
"I Speak Astronomy" is my favorite Jinjer song, as it rocks but also highlights Tat's soaring clear vocals as well as her growls.
Heyooo I found you watching Jinjer! My life is complete
This is by far my favorite reaction to her harsh vocals. It IS weird, strange, unexpected…but fucking amazing. She is a BEAST and makes it SO natural and easy appearing. She’s tiny, her speaking voice is so dainty, you just don’t expect it. I love Jinjer so much
i had no idea how much i was craving this reaction until i saw the thumbnail, absolutely great choice!
edit: Jinjer was my entry into metal, my dad showed that exact video to me and im so grateful for that.
another edit cus thoughts keep popping up: a lot of people are recommending teacher teacher, which I highly agree with, that was my second song. Another great song to react to is perennial, while teacher teacher is heavier, perennial hits hard with abit more beauty and poetry(imo)
Spot on. This track brought me back into metal. I stopped listening in the 90's ("hair metal" was just an embarrassing misogynistic mess) but Jinjer renewed my passion. Teacher, Teacher was my favourite Jinjer track until recently, I never thought they would top it. But then Home Back, Wallflower and Vortex blew me away. Amazing, brave, creative people.
Great modern female fronted rock bands: (my rankings)
Evanescence
Halestorm
Nightwish
Within Temptation
Pretty Reckless
Something about female rockers!❤❤
Seeing people do extraordinary things is so good for our souls ❤
The anticipation for your reaction was great
Never heard of this band but damn, I was as shocked as you! Holy hell, that's so crazy!
Welcome to the amazing and beautiful world of jinjer,brother. Her name is Tatiana and her and the band come from Ukraine and she has recently moved to the USA during the wars they are facing. You should definitely go down the rabbit hole of this band. They are amazing!!
Jinjer has been my favorite band for many years. Also best show I’ve ever been to, they are way better live which is rare. Check out all their music best musicianship I’ve seen and some of the best lyrics. Eugene the bass player has bass play throughs which I’m sure you’d enjoy. That button that was press was a guitar pedal to go from clean atmospheric tones to distortion. There’s videos of Tatiana without a microphone which sounds even better than the recordings.
Gotta be either Teacher Teacher or Home Back next from Jinjer! 👍🏻
hhaha, terrific reaction mate .. things aren't quite the same after hearing jinger for the first time
Tatiana is absolutely amazing. Especially hitting those high notes at the end.
That woman... has the most range in the industry. Some.of the l'ouest growls, to the highest cleans. She is a complete machine!
Welcome to being a metal head. We claiming you bro. :)
Saw Jinjer last week, small venue. She's just as amazing live!! Enjoy the rabbit hole 🔥🔥🔥
I love that so many people reacting to this seem to come to the same conclusion. When she is singing she has the voice of an angel and the moment she begins growling it's like a demon has come crawling out of the darkest depths of Hell. One moment your heart flutters and the next you have a cold chill racing down your spine. Indescribably beautiful and utterly terrifying.
May well be the most active reaction, out of at least 100 I've seen. Enjoyed it immensely! The army will direct you to your next step in the rabbit hole. Looking forward to it.
Pro tip.
You'll get used to the growls and you will understand them better as you continue your metal journey but just to be save i would reccomend pulling up the lyrics to those metal songs because they are extremely poetic and rich on meaning.
Jinjer is such a great band, they are definately in my top three of all time next to System of a down and Tool.
Much love ❤
Knowing the lyrics will never really spoil the song because there are so many ways those lyrics can be woven into a song and so many different musical compositions Tati might be working from you'll never know what to expect.
I was thinking straight from the go, "Wait until she growls." I want to see the rapper/hip-hop artist do what she does.
This is the song that got me started on reaction videos, and it never gets old watching people pause in that relaxed period, commenting on her angelic voice, right before she whips it out and beats them with her other voice. 🤣👌
hahaha you came for the drama and suspense only - I respect that 😂
@TeddyGreyOS More than just this one song, but it is a top favorite!
I binged a few of your other videos at work, it's always fun seeing someone who is open minded enough to embrace new things. There is SO much outstanding music out there, and you seem to be genuinely blown away over and over as you learn about new bands.
I haven’t started the video but I can already imagine all the times you’re about to pause and go “what the hell?!”
Best description of Tatiana I've seen:
The perfect metal voice. Sings like an angel, screams like demon.
Edit: Being able to do growling and screaming like she does only causes damage to the vocal chords if you're doing it wrong. She's not doing it wrong.
You should definitely react to Perennial - live at Wacken 2019 by these guys. It's mind blowing
Teddy I was giggling just waiting for her change. You didn't disappoint
I’m so happy you finally got around to this one. Tatiana is a powerhouse and the band is so tight. Glad to see you appreciate it so much.
"Scaled armor blaze virgin innocence, one being brings life, the other runs for death"...My favorite Jinjer songs, Perennial live at Wacken, Outlander, from the early days of the band, I speak astronomy, at age 58 I went to my first metal show to see Jinjer, Space of variations (another great ukrainian band ), and POD. I was blown away. it is never too late to discover all the great genres of music..including metal, classic rock, grunge, etc, etc. If you get to the oldies please do Tobacco Road by the Winters brothers and Inside Looking Out by Grand Funk Railroad1969(..classic blues and blues based guitar driven rock...the grandfather of the heavy stuff!!)
This was my 1st time hearing this band as well. Im blown away!!!!! i will be digging into Jinjer!!!!! WOW! ❤❤❤
I love watching people react to Jinjer for the first time. The eyes go wide the mouth gaps open and everyone is thinking WTF?
A nice soft voice. Lol
I watch Pisces reactions regularly, they never get old. 😂❤
The song itself is about the duality of the Pisces nature. Hence the name of the song. Tatiana is amazing. I hope you get to do more of Jinjer!
we all love our "first time Jinjer reaction"s, but Teddy, this is a Great reaction LOL
Welcome to Jinjer, I hope you continue with this amazing band! This is a very fun and unique rabbit hole to fall into as every song is different and all are great! Awesome reaction!
Welcome to Jinjer, they are incredible! They are incredible and and the singer Tatiana is a vocal beast! Check out them doing "Perennial" live at Wacken to see them live.
oh my god, I lived to this moment when Teddy started reacting to Ukrainian music,😍 I'm in shock😂! thank you for your work!🙏🏻🥰
Jinjer: "Teacher, Teacher" will blow you away! They blend different styles so seamlessly.
By the way, the pedal was to lower the Guitar, not her voice. She's doing it all naturally. You will see in full live settings.
You should do some Opeth, one of the bands being an inspiration for this one. From soft to hard, I can recommend 'Era' (video), Harlequin Forest (live), and 'Deliverance' (studio recording).
O melhor canal de Reaction aqui no UA-cam!! This guy is great! Success brother!! 🇧🇷
Jinjer is such an amazing band!
Dude you kill me 😂love your reactions genuine gold good work man
Teddy, I've been following your journey since Falling in Reverse - Watch the World Burn and hoped from the start that you would get to Jinjer. Your open minded approach to discovering the heavier genres is so refreshing and wholesome, thanks for that!
Tatiana is doing this in a healthy way, but yes, it does take training and conditioning. For more information on the techniques used for harsh vocals I'd say go check out the video "the Charismatic Voice" did with Will Ramos when they stuck a camera down his nose and into his throat, but I think you should react to "Lorna Shore - To the Hellfire" before you look at what goes on while he is doing vocals (Will is the vocalist for Lorna Shore). Not entirely sure you are ready for Lorna yet, however, as already mentioned, your approach is commendable and you might just enjoy it!
Jinjer is amazing, they are a Ukrainian band and they are equally epic to see live. Definitely check out their live performance of "Perennial" at Wacken Open Air 2019, it is mindblowing what she pulls off on the last song of a set! As for this one, Pisces is the zodiac sign of the two fish, all about duality, which is seen in the highly contrasting parts of the song itself, but further explored in the lyrics. The initial harsh vocals are:
Scale armour belies
Virgin innocence
One being brings life
Another runs for death
I won't get into the entire rabbit hole of the lyrics (this comment is long enough as it is 😅), but seeing as you asked specifically about the emeralds being ripped away, that's a reference to scaling a fish, but of course also metaphorical.
It's a point of friendly disagreement whether she says "belies" or "blaze" after scale armor. The lyrics read "blaze" and that's what Tatiana says it is. Some folks think "belies" makes more sense. I disagree. She sings it as two syllables "buh-laze," and I think that's partly why some believe it's "belies." Either one kinda works lyrically, but blaze makes perfect poetic sense to me. Also, note in their live show, on the vertical screens behind them the imagery of greenish fish scales appears as the song goes into the chorus--then the scales blaze orange.
Someone should ask her that question at a meet n' greet and post it on the video for us! 😉
Interestingly, I saw recent concert footage where Tatiana says "I hope you got the joke, huh?" after she sings "Cause I'm selfless."
Jinjer is from Eastern Ukraine and they lost their home when Russia invaded in 2014 and you have to listen to the song "Home Back" and watch the music video
They will write the songs in Russian and then translate them into English and all the men in the band were left in the war 24/2-22 for over half a year when they played in the USA and Europe and they were allowed to play
But I can recommend you a Swedish band that toured with them before the pandemic and that is Arch Enemy (has had two female singers since 2000)
This is just by far some of the best reaction videos I’ve seen. Love your work my man!!
Haha your reaction is a lot like my original reaction. Like WHAT!? I was whooping and running around the room in disbelief too. I think I had always wanted to like harsh vocals, but I never had. It's the contrast here that makes Tatiana so special. And this song is all about contrast and duality. One being brings life, another runs for DEATH! And yeah, the way she roars on "death" would send a lion running. She's a predatory beast on the hunt.
One of the many crazy things about this band is how quiet, reserved and downright shy Tatiana is off the stage. It's her mild-mannered alter ego. When she steps on the stage it's a total transformation into the superhero rock goddess I call Captain Metal. Sorta like Marvel's Captain Marvel--but metal!! She is scary awesome on stage. She dominates like few can.
Personally, I love seeing women in traditionally male roles like this. It's empowering and righteous. This proves the old line "Anything you can do, I can do better." You won't find any guy who can do this any better than Tatiana. She's the real deal. The Queen of Metal.
Vlad, Roman and Eugene are pretty regal themselves. Metal royalty.
Your shock and joy was wonderful to watch. I felt like I was hearing them for the first time all over again. They are incredible live. I encourage you go see them if you can.
perfect reaction my man.. lol welcome to our world.. I love seeing how you are catching on the the allure of metal! Keep it up
I just can't stop watching Jinjer reactions. And the way you rocked out with this song, you've always been a metalhead, my dude. You just didn't know it for a while. 😂
Judgment and punishment is amazing and gives a whole other vibe
I went to her concert she does it, this is her real range of voice :)
For those wondering about the screamed lyrics:
"Scale armour belies,
Virgin innocence.
One being brings life,
Another runs for death."
And then:
"Pisces swimming through the river,
All her life against the stream,
Searching for a hook to catch on,
And see the sunbeam.
Then suffocate in painful tortures,
On cutting tables of callous men,
Under a knife of handsome butchers,
Emeralds are ripped away"
So the song is about literally being a Pisces. Being loving and creative and low on ego, but also being sensitive and vulnerable to being hurt.
So she's not a lion, she's a fish.
The emeralds are fish scales (her armour)
Hence the vocal change, it's about the duality. Two fish swimming in opposite directions.
I'm not into astrology, which makes it annoying how well Pisces (my sign) represents me, and how hard I relate to this song.
Isn’t it scale armour blaze?
Mate the joy you give me watching you react to stuff I know is coming for you to react to is soothing for my soul! Thank you
She angelic and demonic she is lovely and she is scary she is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and she is GORGEOUS. I love Tatiana and she scares the shit out of me.
Cant go wrong with any Jinjer song and that is all her. Tati is a vocal beast!!!!
Congrats u have my favorite Jinjer reaction and ive seen a few hundred "NOOOOO THATS NOT HERRRRRR NOO THATS NOT HER"
hey teddy, just wanted to point out that "false chord" growling can be done without any damage to your vocal tract. it uses a separate organ to regular speech (the false vocal chords).
I like how when you initially heard Titiana's growl, your own voice got considerably higher.
i damn near cried watching this...idk why...your reaction just fully encapsulates the power and beauty of the song
I had the absolute pleasure to see them live in 2018 at the tinniest bar in Córdoba (ARG) when they weren´t that famous
The power and presence that 1.60m woman has it's HUUUGE
That's all her. Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well.
I have easily watched 100 reactions to this song and I think that may be my new favorite. nice one bro!
when i watched pisces the first time, i also had tears in my eyes and "goosebumps of doom" - her voicerange is absolutely amazing.
Jinjer is a ukrainian metal core band. So english is their third language after russian and ukrainian.
The song is about the zodiac sign pisces and its double nature, being evasive and skiddish on one side and want to go deep and experience all on the other.
Three band members are pisces including the vocalist Tatiana and the bassist Eugene who wrote the lyrics as I understand.
It gives me immense joy to see folks who don't typically listen to metal get roped into Jinjer reaction videos. Once they get over the initial shock of Tatiana's vocal range they all get infected with the groove of the song itself. The entire band is so immensely talented. And they are just as tight in concert. All hail Jinjer! We metal heads are not worthy!
She brings me to tears every time I watch this
this song is about the fish sign Pisces when she goes hard she says: Scale armor bellies, virgin innocence. One being brings life, another runs for death. My favorite from jinjer is the song Teacher Teacher. btw the emeralds are ripped away cause she talkes about butchers right before that.
A lot of it is about the astrological sign Pisces hence the name. The sign for that is a fish which again is what a lot of the song references. Emeralds are important to the sign of Pisces. Enjoy Tatiana !!!!
I was hoping you had this on your channel. I love this song, and to watch reactions to it. Everybody has the same moment, to say the least. Great reaction!
"So this is a love song?!"
He is not ready XD
Actually, it takes very little to no suffering if it's done right.
It does take a lot of training, because most people rarely (consciously) use the false cords, but when done right, it doesn't hurt or strain the voice at all.
It's also not as loud as most people think - if you watch most extreme metal singers, they stay very close to the mic while screaming or growling, because it is hardly louder than normal singing.
I always love first reactions to this, because while there are a few very impressive female extreme metal singers (check out Angela Gossow's work with Arch Enemy for reference), Tatjana's mixture of angelic clear vocals and very strong (and versatile!) harsh vocals always blows everybody away!
Re vocal effects: not effects as such but there is a lot of editing on this piece, including layering her cleans and also layering her mid-range and low growls which makes it a bit more shocking. They were a little-known band when they released this and nobody expected this piece to be under as much of a microscope it ended up being. Since this they don't edit her growls but will sometimes layer in cleans. For my part I love all aspects of her voice so much I just always prefer it in its rawest purest form, but on the studio stuff I guess their production team has to earn their pay heh.
From my perspective there are two ways masculinity can respond to such ostentatious feminine power: to be intimidated or to get stronger. Just saying. ;) Completely unrelated, Eugene the bassist earned silver at the Abu Dhabi qualifying tournament in Kyiv a few years back. :D
All of them have ridiculously diverse musical influences. For the guys there's lots of jazz and blues influences. Vlad their drummer is the only one with classical training (as a pianist) as he was from the more affluent west of Ukraine while the other three were from a coal mining town in the Donbass but had to leave their homes behind to contine their careers after the 2014 war. Tati's influences also extend to reggae and rap and she frequently uses rap cadences in her growls and occasionally in her cleans as well.
Recommended next steps:
Teacher Teacher official - we mostly recommend concert videos but there isn't a definitive live video for Teacher Teacher and the omv is so good it's a fan favorite that's stood the test of time, with more hip hop influence in Tatiana's performance thsn most. The live from Melbourne is goid for watching Tati do the insane switching in the beginning live, but Eugene's bass is too low in the mix so the BrBrDENG bits at the end are disappointingly weak.
Perennial live at Wacken. The omv is _gorgeous_ but the charisma and technical skill on display in the Wacken video (it's German so you'll get points for pronouncing it "Vahken") has completely eclipsed the omv - well worth at least watching the omv and some have done double features with both versions, just saying. ;)
Who Is Gonna Be The One - very raw but high quality audio recording of a show at a small Ukrainian festival called Atlas Weekend (if you want to find the non-video track - it's very differentfrom the original studio recoding, long story). I feel like anyone preparing to play a female superhero should watch it. Daily. It's 80% growls though so I highly recommend reading the lyrics first. It's one of their most Rage Against The Machine -style protest songs. (You've heard RATM, right? If not do Kiiling In The Name, preferably the live video with 84M views)
Pit Of Consciousness live in Kiev (now Kyiv) one of their most musically and visually stunning videos. Don't do it next though, save it for later.
Home Back official: incredibly powerful anti-war song. Based on their experiences and the shock and confusion they felt when their hometown in eastern Ukraine was caught in the 2014 war that set the stage for the 2022 invasion. Not enough anti war media is told from the eyes of ordinary people caught in a war through their own authentic work rather than through some other platform's agenda. It speaks powerfully to the experiences of the millions of ordinary people caught in every war. Brutal and heartbreacking song brought to life through the superb work of a production team in Kyiv in 2020.
Subbed. Cheers!
Great comment, love your take on masculinity. I'm one of those guys who says "More power to her!" It's empowering for all of us when each of us is elevated. I love seeing women excel and even dominate in traditionally male-dominated fields. Tati is Queen!
JinJer Teacher Teacher, Judgment and Punishment one take, Perennial Live at Wacken all show her talent
Love Jinjer! Great reaction 👌🏼
