    “Pit of Consciousness” (Live in Kiev) Vlad’s drums in this one along with the time signature changes he pulls off will definitely amp you up. It is very well composed. Not to mention Tati’s performance with some of the lowest growls you will hear from her. It’s a home wrecker.

    This drummer is Dmitry Kim. He joined the band when their previous drummer had a tragic accident and became paralyzed. He stayed with the band through the King of Everything album but he really didn't want to tour in the intense way they do it so Vlad came on. So the original drummer on that album (including the original version of Pisces) was him. Vlad then joined and they did the version of that song you saw to introduce him as their new drummer. Dmitry is an amazing drummer and still works with the band on things and their producer Max Morton on things for the band.
    When I saw them in Nashville in 2022 they did this song and she absolutely nailed that final part all these years later. Six layers of goosebumps for that one. There is a "making of" video for this music video out there. There is a really good live version of this that was snipped from a full length concert video of theirs they did in Madrid here
    ua-cam.com/video/91wkg9wenqs/v-deo.html
    She used to sing it live with a little more grit and then dropped the grit mostly in later shows.
    One of her most dynamic performances on video is the live version of Captain Clock at Resurrection Fest 2018. If you see that one remember the phrase "eyes open, eyes closed she still sees you" because of something she does with her makeup. Speaking of makeup there is also a video out there of how she does her stage makeup that is fun to watch.
    With a few exceptions she does the lyrics. The lyrics to Outlander are one of her best. You could react to their official live at Loudfest version of that. It's also a good performance. The official music video is just the studio track laid over live video but the Loudfest version is a genuine live performance version.

    The drummer who played this studio track and appeared in this video is Dmitriy Kim. He's basically a session drummer who was temporarily playing for Jinjer after their previous drummer, Yevhen Mantulin, broke his spine by falling from a widow. Yevhen played on the Cloud Factory album (2014), and appears in the "Cloud Factory" official video. Dmitriy replaced him in later 2014, played on their King of Everything album (2016), and appears in this video as well as the "Sit Stay Roll Over" and "Words of Wisdom" official videos, among other appearances. Vladislav Ulasevich ("Vlad") replaced Dmitriy shortly after the release of King of Everything, and the band made the "Pisces" live session video to showcase his style. Vlad played on the Micro EP (2019) and the Macro (2019) and Wallflowers (2021) albums, as well as on their forthcoming album (not yet named, as far as I know).
    All of the drummers that have played in Jinjer have been incredibly good. I think that Vlad has the most unique style of the lot, as he plays with a huge dynamic range and a lot of jazzy influence. He's a classically trained pianist and plays guitar as well as drums, and has made increasingly large contributions to composing their music (something like 80% of Wallflowers, if I recall correctly). I think their current lineup is their best lineup, and it has been stable since 2016. I do think a second guitarist would be great, but no doubt it's hard to find someone of suitably high calibre with the right chemistry for the rest of the band.

It would still make a great reaction, but just wanted to make you aware of what it is. The 3 songs performed are Vortex, Wallflower, and Dead Hands Feel No Pain, which are all songs from their last album Wallflowers.

    Some people react to Jinjer songs and (almost) each new song becomes favorite at the moment.
    You still didn't experience the heavy and aggressive side of Jinjer. All three songs are at the bottom half of Jinjer's heavy rating.
    Maybe you'll like their heavy side as well or even more.
    A couple of heavy tracks:
    - Pit Of Consciousness
    - Call Me A Symbol
    And a couple of fast aggressive tracks:
    - Sit Stay Rollover
    - Who's Gonna Be The One

    Great Jinjer song and another great reaction! Tati has said this is a "love song" when asked during an interview is she'd ever written or performed a love song/ballad. I know some people enjoy the Jinjer songs that have more clean vocals, and another song I'd recommend would be "Cloud Factory." Keep up the great work! As to lyrics, Tati does write the lyrics for Jinjer and is very much a poet. I know Eugene has contributed some lyrics occasionally, but Tati is the band's lyricist. Jinjer has what I consider to be a somewhat unique way of composing songs/albums. I thought I had commented on it before, but if not I'd be happy to do it again!

Tatiana does sing the backing tracks. This one: Teacher teacher, Vortex, Whose Gonna Be the One, On the Top, is kind of the argument we make that not only is Pisces only being ranked 74 on the All Time Best Metal Songs List is an insult, but it's a travesty there aren't multiple entries from Jinjer on that list?

    She writes all the lyrics. You've been complaining about lyrics since Pieses, how hard is it to take 30 seconds before you record and pull up the lyrics? Not only wouldn't you annoy us with wasting time trying to guess what she's saying but you would be able to do a much better review because you'd be able to comment on what she's actually saying. And, by the way, the drummer is the old drummer before Vlad. At this point I only watch because I love Jinjer but I'm hoping you take some constructive criticism to make it better for your viewers. This has nothing to do with you, I love your personality, just technical things that will make it a better review to watch.
