I think this means Jinjer's perennial live is next. Not your "typical" live stadium sound to be sure. And it's the last song of their show. I was the drummer in metal shows in the 90's and by the final song, I was ready for a stretcher and an ambulance, and for them to be this for their last song of the show to me is totally amazing!
You are correct Sir it is indeed! I am so looking forward to it. I believe that’s the version from Wacken? You lucky lucky man! I can’t imagine how cool that must have been to be there! 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscovers JINJER does a couple of shows in Florida, then hits Wacken 2023! , then goes back to Tampa!!! They are hungry and loving it!
@@SoulSingerDiscovers yes do the live at wacken
I think you'd really enjoy their "Wallflower" Tatiana does some of her jazziest/ bluesy vocals there and of course her screams are always amazing!
The video for Wallflower I definitely consider a work of art and demonstrates the passion that they put into their music.
Wallflower is such a special song to me
Agree!!!
One of the most overlooked talents of Tati is that she can put lyrics over their really odd time signatures.
You're ahead of me, was about to say... try to catch what odd time signatures is in this song 🙂
On point mate!
She's very good at it, yes. But also, one of the most overlooked talents of the band is that their really odd time signatures are still head-bangable and happen to come back into focus at the 1 for a steady, reliable, but very intricate groove.
Jinjer is one of my all time favourites. Perennial live at Wacken is a good next step
I got you my dude, its next on the Jinjer wish list! 😊
I forgot something:
what is fascinating for me is that the guys first write the music without tati being there, she knows nothing, then she gets the finished songs, which are not mainstream :-)), then tati first writes the lyrics in russian and then translates them into English, and these lyrics are sometimes very lyrical...as a musician, i can't understand how it works...
You've got to do "Vortex", it's off their most recent album and is sublime.
That song makes me shiver, it’s SO good!!!
I really like jinjer. They are complicated and unique. I think mostly they just represent themselves. They mixed several different genres but it's not just a gimmick. They just do what they do and I'm here for it.
Jinjer is like if you took the musical intelligence of Dream Theater, the groove of Disturbed, the penchant for the exotic of Opeth, and the rhythmic genius of Meshuggah, and combined the best parts of all of them, then add the X-factor that is Tatiana's incredible vocal talents and deeply meaningful and poetic lyrics on top.
If the sound system is good, you will find that Jinjer does their best work live.
I don’t know what the best word to describe it would be but I think Jinjer is attracting a lot of recognition from folks outside of the metal community. That level of chops demands respect from all but the most jaded. I think they've had an impact on attitudes and respect for metal in general and harsh vocals in particular within the mainstream music community. I don't know if we'd have seen for example Harper on AGT if Pisces hadn't had such an impact, for example.
I've been listening to metal for 45 years, and the things Jinjer can do with it and combining elements of other genres within a song, just grabs me. I'm going to see them live for the 3rd since 2021 and they are phenomenal.
It seems like Jinjer has emerged as one of the leading metal bands of this era, and I think they totally deserve to be. They’re obviously all quite talented and skilled- the entire group can shine. And what you described as your reaction to “Pisces” is of course universal across the board- people in shock, exasperated, wondering how can she possibly do that, or even if it’s actually her in the first place. But personally I love metal vocalists who are multi-faceted like that. Developing different voices or even modes is so cool. I consider myself a self-taught amateur vocalist, who can do melodic singing as well as harsh vocals. But it took me months to even begin to get those down, and my vocal journey is still ongoing.
That’s pretty cool Matthew! Tbh I feel like any vocal journey is a long winded one if the vocalist actually cares about their craft. Im still learning and I consider myself a professional, and someone that is very well versed as a singer. Tatiana has definitely been part of my gateway into harsher vocals, not just for the mix of contemporary but for hearing harsh vocals that really resonate with me. An outstanding band too! 😊
Oh, totally. I’ve actually been doing amateur vocal work for over 20 years, but it was quite the slow start, constantly toying with my voice to figure things out. Emulating some of the singers in my music collection. The harsh metal vocals came later. And I’ve discovered different aspects of my voice in various ways. So you’re right, it’s an extended process. As my father once said, when we were discussing well-known artists, “Nobody starts out great.” You have to begin at the bottom and then work to ascend over time.
My wife and I get to see them August 1st!🤘🔥
@@xstatixtribalelectronicmus2787 Jealous. I’m sure it’ll be a great show.
You don`t really get used to Jinjer and I love that! Most of their songs are rollercoasters - but with rollercoasters you always know where you end up. With Jinjer? Well..... 😁🤘
I am die hard metalhead since the 80's and I am very picky about the music i listen. Found out about Jinjer back in 2017 with their performance of their Just another song. I immediately fell in love with the band because of their attitude, performance and charisma, which, with of course awesome music , I respect about the metal.
I agree 100%.
I've also been a musician for over 40 years and I can only agree with you in your assessment of Jinjer. I myself do different musical genres like acid jazz, rock, fusion, funk,... and when I heard Jinjer for the first time about 5-6 years ago, I immediately thought this band is something very, very special in every way, guitar, bass, drums, vocals, the lyrics, the rhythmic changes, Tati's stage presence, plus they are all absolutely humble and authentic and come from difficult backgrounds in Ukraine.............this band is unique!!!!!!!!
thanx for your professional reaction on a world class band.
lovely greetings from germany...
maybe next song:
JINJER - Wallflower (Official Video) | Napalm Records
As a ginger Jinjer fan I agree with everything you said about Jinjer. They are the pineapple of modern metal.
Pineapple!! Outstanding 😊😂
Definitely Perennial for live vocals, but you should also do Judgement and Punishment vocal one take (just Tati in the studio). She is amazing adn this band is next level. Love your channel, going through your performances and loving them. Also, maybe do Lala Hathaway with Snarky Puppy. I'm guessing you know this one, but even if it wasn't a new reaction I would love to hear your analysis.
30 degrees celsuis sounds like a cool summer day, but that being considered insanely hot there gives me the feeling that your winters must be absolute hell on earth.
Oh it is, we’re Scottish and we are never happy about the weather 💩☀️
I am so happy to see Jinjer back on your channel, I love your reactions! I hope you continue down the Jinjer rabbit hole!
Thank you Robert! I’m so glad you enjoy them. More Jinjer to come 😊🌸
0:26 - Greetings from a portuguese viewer (and Jinjer fan) who had to get used to over 30ºC in March, April or October and over 40ºC in the Summer for the last 20 years. You better get used to those types of temperatures over there because it's only going to get worse. I used to consider 30ºC very hot, now my heat "intolerance" level has gone up from 30ºC to 37ºC. It's very worrying to realise how I've adapted to deal with temperatures up to 37ºC as if I was dealing with temperatures between 25 and 30ºC. 😟
13:25 - I don't think they put all that thought into what they do in their songs, at least not deliberately. One thing I've come to learn about Jinjer since I discovered them 7 years ago was that the only "rule" they have is "this must sound good to us because we have to enjoy playing it live", especially since Vlad (the drummer) joined the band. They never set out to create anything only to please the fans or because they felt they should follow a path that would give them instant success. Their first album after being signed by Napalm Records (King of Everything, where Pisces comes from) was kind of overdone in terms of audio production, no wonder they re-recorded Pisces with Vlad because he gave the song the soul and the groove it lacked originally. That album made them quickly realise that they couldn't put things in the songs that they wouldn't be able to reproduce themselves live, so the following release, the Micro EP, was much more raw and less embellished and that put off a lot of the more conventional metalheads who thought they were going to follow the previous album's formula. That trend continued in the following releases, Macro and Wallflowers, and although they might have lost quite a bit more of the "fans" I mentioned before with those two albums, the fans they gained by being themselves and not follow any set formulas were more than the ones they lost. 🙂
I love how you approach Jinjer. Welcome to the rabbit hole, part 2.
I came to them very early, and they never get boring. The best song was always the next one. If I should name the best discovery of a band for me in the last 15 yrs, Jinjer would be it. And there is a lot of great bands out there.
If you wanna go down that rabbit hole, I would say GO FOR IT. (And I would for sure not be mad about waiting for all other requested bands that I love.)
I have yet to hear a bad song from them. Love them to death. Seriously.
They never fail to surprise me whenever something new gets released. They constantly evolve and I grow with them.
Next one? HOME BACK. Masterpiece official video. You will love it, too. Absolutely sure about that.
Or something from the Kiev concert. OR ...f*ck, pick any official video. I love them all.
I am very happy you came back to them so soon.
Even more happy, that you like this song and that you can imagine reacting to more of them. Because: Every song is different, every song has something unique to offer. And we are just at the surface of what genres they can mix together.
They are a perfect representation of where contemporary progressive music stands.
They don't even speak of "metal" anymore, because they combine so many other elements with it. They are far from the narrowing metalcore sounds, they are something on their own. Fantastic to witness since many years.
I am really, really happy about the continuation of your Jinjer journey.
Have a great new week, keep on making me smile and all the best, my dear dudette!😎❤🤌
I am not sure there's any single band to describe modern metal, but "to hell with genres" seems to be one of the themes for this corner of metal.
See for example Sleep Token.
"Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don't get lost in genres, they'll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone." -Vessel 2017
Picking different genres for different parts of the song depending on what kind of feelings you want to evoke is so bloody effective in telling a story.
Jinjer has amazing talent, but also the uncanny ability to write and play what they want. Sure, they can thrash out some metal, metalcore, etc - but they can also throw in so many other genres and elements, that the totality of their composition is just inspiring. Tatiana is the face of the band because of her role as singer/performer, but there is just not a weakness in any part of their music. Seriously, people say there isn't a bad Jinjer song, and they are correct. I haven't been listening too long, only a few years, but they give me hope that the metal community is alive and kicking and ever evolving - for the better. There is no real downside to this rabbit hole, so jump in and immerse yourself with the honest, hard working, talented members of Jinjer and their unique style of music. 🤘
Great comment! I will fully immerse myself and I’m really looking forward to their new album from things I’ve been told as well 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscovers Keep being awesome, we appreciate you. 💯
Since discovering Jinjer last year, I have enjoyed my slow journey through their work. They were my first concert in “Fuck, I’m Old” years. I’m seeing them in July in Charlotte and then in September in Myrtle Beach. “Teacher, Teacher” is my favorite song by them because it is such a representation of the band’s style. Maybe my favorite part is how she created the most beautiful “Fuck You!” with the “I Smile To You” line.
For suggestions, I’m sure people have recommended the Wacken Live Air performance of “Perennial.” It’s a great song but this performance is amazing and illustrates what you were talking about with the difference between a “singer” and a “performer.” While “Pisces” was the song that got me interested in them(I have to avoided saying that it “hooked me.”), the song that made me say “I get it” was the official live performance of “Bad Water.” Before it, I couldn’t get into other songs of theirs that I checked out. As soon as I heard this one, what was keeping from enjoying them was what I love about them.
Let's go 🔥 I've just found your channel and check your reaction to Pisces and now this. I feel like you would love Wallflower or Vortex 🙌🏻
I’ll check it out! I’m so glad you found the channel. Enjoy Pisces ♓️😊❤️
Glad you revisited Jinjer, but you really missed the opportunity to see them at thier best, on thier live performance of Perennial live at Waken. That way you wont have to worry about th3 double tracking, and other recording studio polish trickery.
Keep up the good work.
There is a backing track for a small section.
@@hemlock399 but, compared to a produced track on an album, there is a lack of all the production tricks on an official video such as teacher teacher or Pisces, or any others.
And if your referi g to the 10 second intro voice over as the bit your talking about, that's really nothing appart from a small spoken voice track she's not singing over to create a bigger sound.
@@davelewis3775 He's not talking about the intro, there's a couple of bits where she's clearly harmonising with herself, though I'm pretty certain that was actually added in post. as I've seen a more raw version on the Wacken channel where you cant hear it. So yes, there is a bit of "studio polish trickery" on the Jinjer official live version. Not that it takes anything away from the performance mind you! They were the first band on and there were a few sound issues. Jinjer most definitely polished it up for their release.
@StuTheMoose awesome reply and thank you for adding that bit. Saw them live a few months ago and know they can hold thier own off album. Loved vortex love.
@davelewis3775 Yes, of course it's much less than the studio, but there are still some harmonizing backing tracks present, apparently added in post. I just don't want the reactor to have false expectations.
JinJer stands alone to me. I’m perfectly fine with the wall of sound but JinJer is just so much more. Everything they do is different yet clearly JinJer. I don’t know how they keep on bringing so much diversity to the table. Loads of talent. At my age of 57, they are easily the most impressive for my taste, that I have encountered. So glad I seen them live once so far.
Yeah meshuggah,tool and jinjer all count as progressive metal just different types so thats why they try all the different structures melodies ect
As do Opeth
Thanks for coming back to Jinjer. I love this band. I do feel they are a good representation of modern metal, at least for me. They are so good live as well. I saw them in Atlanta in the US in December, it was amazing! If you haven't checked it out, I'd recommend "Pit of Consciousness" live in Kiev to see what she can really do with her growls.
Well, Pisces people are often considered meek, and I think she conveys the Pisces vibe well in her voice in that song :)
If you're looking for some power in her singing voice, just the most epic mix of everything, I think "I speak astrology" you should definitely check out next!
Gotta check out Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope (Live in Colorado 2016). Ridiculously complex composition, incredible musicianship. Cheers
❤
Yes!! Another one 🥰 I was hoping we’d get another Jinjer from you. Can’t wait to see more.
More to come my dude 😊❤️
For performance and jumping around, you need to react to "Perennial" live at Wacken. Another great reaction. Well done.
27 degrees C, is a warm day in Covington, Ky. It is 30 degrees C right now. That is 85 degrees F. Your reactions are always 100 degrees C! Steaming hot, smart, accurate, and hilarious at times! Keep up the great work My Fine Scottish Lady!
Thank you Scott, you wonderful man! I think a constant 30 would cook me medium rare 😆 thank you for your beautiful comments, Im glad you caught this one! 😊❤️
Hmm... No, I wouldn't say Jinjer is typical of modern metal at all. They're a rare blend of raw talent, humility, an enormous range of influences across all genres of music, and a history of hardship and strife of the type that can breed something much more 'real' than most.
There's nothing artificial or phoned in or sterile about them. They aren't flawlessly trained conservatory musicians (the drummer, Vlad, _was_ conservatory trained, but on Piano. The others are all just self-taught). They learned on the road, fleeing from war, singing for their supper and shelter, and to establish themselves in Kiev once they arrived.
When people like that sit down to write a song, it's kind of a different thing than when someone more... shall we say privileged, to borrow an overused buzzword?-does the same. I'm not sure if Jinjer could write a nothingburger of a phoned-in song if they _wanted_ to. To me, it feels more like they're having to hold back the torrents of meaning and creativity inside to curate the best parts of it, rather than struggling to overcome writer's block and doodling until they find an earworm, if that makes sense?
There are other bands today that are doing very creative, very cool stuff, but there's nobody like Jinjer. I think they're one of the most original, deep, and powerful metal bands performing today, maybe even the very top, and I think we're only starting to see their rise.
Jinjer is the one of the best modern prog metal band for sure. Considering they are younger than Mastodon, Opeth, Meshuggah, Gojira and Tool they could be stated as a new wave of prog metal or as a future of this subgenre (although who knows what will hapens in the future).
But of course there're lots of other subgenres of metal which can't be represented by Jinjer because they have nothing to do with their music (except heaviness).
Few days ago Jinjer's bassist Eugene said something like - we are moving our music forward continiously just because we are boring to play the same music.
It means Jinjer doesn't make similar music even if it's succesfull. They are progressive because they are looking for the progress.
That's the point which could be the guide for all other metal bands (and nonmetal as well).
What a glorious way to look at they own music and progression! 😊
If you like the mixed genre aspect of Jinjer, may I suggest you check out Sound Struggle. They combine progressive metal with jazz funk including growls and clean vocals. A good place to start would be their live studio performance of The Disease.
I discovered Jinjer when they opened for Disturbed at a concert I went to a couple months ago and they opened with this song. We were blown away by skills of this metal version of Gwen Stefani and her vocal skills.... Tatiana's def destined to be a legend of metal.
I think it would be amazing to see her live. That’s a super cool comparison I’ll remember that one 😊
I discovered your channel tonight through this reaction to, Jinjer, I was so impressed that I subscribed. I'm a big fan of many different genres of music so, I appreciate lots of things. I highly recommend that you listen to (and hopefully react to) a few other Jinjer tracks, for you I feel that the 'must do' ones are; 'Perennial' live at Wacken Open Air Festival from 2019, this gives you a true view of the band in a truly live setting; 'Judgement (and Punishment)' Tatiana's one-take vocal version, this is good because you get a close up view of Tatiana as she is singing so you can clearly see her technique in detail; and 'Home Back' the official music video, this is a very personal song for the band as it's a protest against the invasion of the Ukraine by Russian troops in 2017 of the area of the Ukraine which they're from, the reason why I recommend this in particular is there's part of the song which as a Soul and Jazz singer you'll really appreciate.
Hi Adam, thank you so much for such an amazing comment. Some of the details on here I didn’t know which is always the best part of reading new comments from people. I’m definitely returning to ginger in the future, they are just too good a band to not do much more of their back catalogue, I’ll check out your recommendations. Thank you so much for subscribing and watching my dude 😊
Hello from Texas
Hope you do more Jinjer..
Temperature right now is 38.8C (102*F) and we’re not to the hottest part of the day yet.
We are doing Perennial next on the Jinjer journey! Stick around my dude! 38 would cook me to well done! 🪦
I love Jinjer, I discovered them a little over 3 years ago. They are, especially now a very progressive and technical band, and for some metalheads, it's not their cup of tea, but for me, I absolutely love it. I've met and seen Jinjer twice, and will see them again in July when they open up for Disturbed. They are some of the nicest, kindest, most humble human beings who clearly love their fans, and of course, their shows are pure fire. Jinjer is in my personal top 10 favorite metal bands of all time, and Tatiana is my 5th favorite metal vocalist of all time, and I've been listening to Metal for over 40 years. Hope you continue this Jinjer journey, you won't be disappointed if you do, and as always, stay Metal young lady. 😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you Steve! This is a great comment. I’m looking forward to discovering more and staying metal 😊💜🤘
for me, Jinjer are prog metal, albeit of an extreme variety. Certainly their latest album is more blatant prog metal influence, but of course they cross several sub-genre. They are magnificent, and quite refreshing in use of unusual melodies - probably because of their ethnic influences
Everyone freaks out over Tatiana's voice...and she is awesome! The band behind her is pretty awesome! Those dudes can seriously play!
They are their own subgenre of metal, which is what I love about them!
@@thomasharris4942
Yeah... no, that makes about as much sense as every other tiny band out there coming up with some stupid subgenre to describe themselves. The _point_ of genres is to inform someone else what direction they can expect. Saying "they are their own subgenre" is utterly pointless. Yes, Jinjer is Jinjer, obviously, and, no, a genre cannot accurately describe them, once again obviously, as that is true with pretty much every other good band out there, but saying they're an extreme variation of Prog Metal is a pretty good start.... which is all genres are supposed to do.
My fav Jinjer song. Thank you!
You’re welcome my dude 😊
The beauty of metal is theres a million genres and theres soemthing for everyone. You can get super intricate musicianship, hard pounding chords, time signature chnages or simple 4/4, growly voices or belters.
It’s a wonderfully rich tapestry, and I’m enjoying every minute of it. 😊
My favorite track of theirs is Vortex, it has no repeating parts like Bohemian Rhapsody, just a continuous journey... For you though, she had a 1 take vocal performance for the track Judgement and Punishment, and then they have a great live performance for the song Perennial... For focusing on her voice I think those might be the best 2... Oh and her guest vocals on Twelve Foot Ninja's over and out has her harmonizing with a great male vocalist
I'm going to see them July 13th! Super stoked for that! Judgment and Punishment (the one take performance) is something you should also check out. It's a really fun song and one of my favorites.... Okay who am i kidding... all of their songs are my favorites 🤘😈🤘
I adore Jinjer ❤
Jinjer is the most talented 4 piece band walking this earth. If there was a singing Olympics, Tatiana would win the gold metal. She can do it all at the highest levels...
I think this is one of the best progressive metal songs. There are so many details in it, so complicated, yet effortlessly played rhythms, rap, rock, scream, melodic, blast beats, and nothing seems overdone, it all fits nicely together. a masterpiece.
A lot of people that I have talk to about them, fully believe that they are one of the best modern metal bands of all time, and whilst that might seem hyperbolic to some I’ve yet to be given evidence to the contrary. They really are fantastic. Thank you so much for watching my dude 😊
I think the cleans in Pisces are almost a Brittany Spears impression. I for one can't blame you for being meh about that. I kinda wish they'd do a metal cover of Oops I Did It Again though, or at least I think that when I watch yet another reaction with someone's face melting when they encounter her growls for the first time "...oops I did it again..." heehee. ;) Cheers!
I do love Jinjer and I think their approach is unique, but i can also tell you, that metal bands have been capitalizing on the wall of sound approach, to pull things back,quite things down and create extreme dynamic changes basically since the beginning of the genre. Black Sabbath and Old school Metallica both leap to mind when I think of this.
Welcome back to JINJER
Much love to all!!!
I think I'm too old for mosh pits but there are also circle pits where everyone runs in a circle which and you just have to keep up. You see those in Europe mostly.
Being of an older generation and as a musician who played multiple styles including Jazz, I can't tell you if Jinjer by themselves represent the future of metal or what metal should be but I do know I liker them because they inject so many other styles into their music and they are talented enough to play them right not as musicians who heard one jazz or blues song and think they know how it goes.
Jinjer are first and foremost a live band, on the road playing almost every other night before covid, so yes a lot of their music is probably thought with live performance in mind.
It was 40 here today and will be even higher in the next few weeks. 30 is a nice Spring day.
I meet Tatiana at Melbourne 2020 ! 💙💛
Jeeeaaalllous!!! 😊❤️
Wow, don’t come to Australia in summer, here in Melbourne, we don’t consider it a hot summer until the first 40+ day..
The etiquette of mosh pit is this: if somebody falls down, you pick them up.
I love that 🥰
I think you would also really enjoy Home Back. It is incredibly relevant to current events in Ukraine, where they are from, and there is a very jazzy breakdown in the middle of the song where Tatiana goes full Ella Fitzgerald. It is stunning. Also, you'd do fine in a pit. Pit etiquette is that if someone goes down, a gap is created around them, and they are either helped up, or helped out of the pit. No exceptions. If someone violates this unspoken rule, they are ejected from the pit.
I think the pit sounds really cool and weirdly inclusive. It’s a cool idea to vent emotions and feel connected at the same time 🥰💪
@@SoulSingerDiscovers It is deeply cathartic. I have been accidentally (maybe?) punched in the face and not known where it's coming from though, so there's also that. The metal community as a whole is incredibly inclusive and welcoming, and is, in my experience, the warmest and most positive community in music at shows. That said, genre snobs can rival those found in art and fusion jazz circles.
Damn right the band is so much more than Tatiana!❤
I've seen them two years in a row and going to see them a third time on August 22nd. They are touring with Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin but are also doing some headline shows sprinkled in. Going to one of the Headline shows. I am so excited to see them again. You should react to "Who is gonna be the one". Great reaction. 😁
I’ll add that to my list. Thanks for watching my dude 🥰
I've performed as both a funk/soul vocalist and a metal vocalist. If you have the control to belt out soul music, you should be able to get the metal growls down pretty easily once you have the right technique and figure out how to use the throat and tongue correctly. The hardest part is the breath control, which is important to protect the vocal chords, and if you have experience with the big powerful soul belts and sustains this should come pretty naturally if you get the rest down. I'm also really excited to see another soul singer want to branch out into growling, go for it. You'll enjoy the reactions from people.
MARC!!! Tell me all your words! Thank you for this comment. I definitely want to learn more about metal vocals, I have experimented a little myself and I weirdly feel like some of the mechanics are intuitive to me and then others are totally alien. Which is so strange! How did you transition to metal or was did metal come first? Did you take guidance or training or both? URGH! So many questions, as I have yet to meet someone who has done both! ❤️
You really need to see a live performance video. UA-cam has plenty. i've seen them live twice, 2019 & 2021. The best sounding band i've ever heard live.
I believe it! They are something else 💪🥰
Great reaction. (Subbed)
Thank you for watching Jeff 🥰
I would love for you to watch their live performance of Perennial at Wacken. Those lyrics are complete poetry and the performance is worth the watch.
I’ll check it out! Thanks for watching my dude 😊💪
Nice review! FWIW Eugene (bassist, who does a good amount of their interviews) feels Jinjer is not really a metal band, per se. When forced to describe the music he said it’s Progressive and Extreme. Regardless they’ve really created their own lane and obviously follow their own artistic inclinations. Def part of their allure:)
Jinjer is fairly solidly in the prog metal genre. If i were to pick a favourite in the prog side of metal it would easily be Meshuggah, but Jinjer brings a mix of many other influences and genres in what they do unlike the more extreme prog metal band i generally prefer. I listen to Jinjer for just those things they create and the different influences.
I do think that metal is becoming better over the last 5-15 years because many bands are moving away from sticking in one genre and Jinjer is really in the wave of mixing things up and i really appreciate it. Mostly because a lot of metal is so formulaic and predictable it is actually dull. Like literally 99.99% of all power metal or the more old school oriented genres....
Frankly music is better now than it used to be especially in metal.
I agree - if Jinjer have to be their own genre because of their fusion of styles, then there are a multitude of other bands that have to be their own genre too - which kind of defeats any utility of having a thing, genre. They tick all the boxes of prog metal to me
More Jinjer please. Love your reactions!!!
Yes! They do double track. The recorded version of Pisces has Tati double tracked in that final verse where she flips into the clean belt (doubled with the growl). While I agree that the doubling can be nice, in that specific instance, I prefer the video version with out the doubling right there (it is in other parts BTW). But the extra punch hearing her clean belt right after a growl and then jump back into a (doubled) growl just fits the dichotomy of the song better, in my opinion.
I also love the differentiation between a singer and a performer. Tati can sing, sure but she is a true performer.
I really like your reactions. Especially your accent. I am Polish. You are very beautiful lovely lady ❤
Im so glad you enjoy the channel 😊❤️
I can't wait to hear their new album. I'm expecting a return to their roots, more groove and less prog. They definitely represent modern meta music, if not even its future.
You had me at groove my dude! I’m looking forward to that 😊
Thank you for your hard work making this video 😊 have fun and enjoy your musical journey ☺
Thank you Jeffrey! Will do! 😊💪
Good morning beautiful 😍 another of my favourite bands 😍
I think you should watch pit of consciousness live in Kyiv
Jinjer is maybe my favorite metal band and was my introduction into modern metal. For purists of extreme metal Tatiana's clean vocals turn them off. Not just Tati though, any band that mix cleans and harsh vocals. However, are they a good representation of modern metal? Perhaps. It is a vast ocean of genres and Jinjer tends to swim in many different ones without ever staying in just one, which I love, but some don't have the patience for it. It will be interesting to see how they are treated on their supporting role on the upcoming Disturbed tour. Not sure how the average mainstream metal fan is going to react.
Ill be honest that makes me worry for their reception just a little as I recently did a Disturbed video and the fans seem super hostile. But Im sure good talent will get them through, they are fantastic. Thank you for this comment my dude, it was an interesting read 😊
@@SoulSingerDiscovers it won't be their first time supporting a band out of their genre. They opened for the Cradle of Filth US tour in 2016 or 17 with good reception. Tati's personality on stage will help a lot. Not sure how the politics of the Ukraine war will fly with the crowd. The US is a strangely divided country right now. I think in the long run it will further their popularity in the US, but we will see.
Tatiana is such a talent. She has so many other mixtures of genres that she mixes together. you should check out Judgment and Punishment one take. Tati shows a whole different mix of musical types. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for watching my dude 😄
You get it. Just keep going 😊
Thank you, I will my dude 😊💪
Hi ya Melissa!, I'm lovin' your work & subscribed to your channel !!! I just recently found a band called "ZEAL & ADORE" my fav songs so far are "Feed the Machine", "Death to the Holy", "Bow" and "We Can't be Found"... Me being a blues singer from back in the day, i love that hard & dirty swamp blues sound, but i also LOVE my math metal too... WOW i was really quite impressed, these guys have actually synergised both these genres together seamlessly. the singer has a great fry/scream voice as well . I've never heard anything quite like this... Have a listen, I am sure you'll be pleasantly surprised... Enjoy... and keep the good work up girl !!! CHEERS Kell
It's very interesting to listen to you. Thank you very much for your reaction.
You are most welcome my dude 😊
Already headbanging just a wee bit. You'll get there :)
as she can be a teacher in russian poetry, imagine this 5ft teacher asking you where is your missing assignement in her deamon voice 👹
I get the sense that you might really enjoy Cult of Luna and Gojira as well. Both bands have incredible musicianship. Also for something completely different: Heilung - I wouldn't even call it music, but more of a ritual, it reaches into you and awakens something primordial.
Got them on my list, I hope I do enjoy them 😊
You say you don't understand how mosh pits work 😝 well, this music does things to some of us, and makes us go effing wild, it's something we can't quite comprehend ourselves, but it is FUN! 😁🤘🖤
I would definitely be hyped to see one! I feel like they are very cathartic. I don’t know if I could be trusted in one but the do look fun 😊💪
@@SoulSingerDiscovers just imagine everyone around you is your worst enemy, that'll work 😆
Hey Melissa, thought you would enjoy a singer that sings in some of the styles that you do. Check out Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa.” i’ll take care of you”. If you don’t already know about her, I guarantee that she will blow you away with her voice
Mosh pits tend to be surprisingly friendly and wholesome. It seems violent when it's really more just kinetic energy being released. There's some bumper cars, but it's very rare you get get an a-hole that's genuinely trying to hurt anyone, and even when/if that happens others will usually step in to stop them and help anyone that gets hurt. Metal audiences in general are consistently the nicest audiences, and I've been to audiences for a wide variety of genres.
Are Jinjer a good representation of modern metal? Well, I'd say there aren't really any good representatives just because of how diverse and fragmented metal has become. I think Jinjer are a good representation of one (or a few) popular strains of metal, especially the combination of djent and metalcore, with some affinities with bands like Periphery and Protest the Hero, all of which owe a ton to Meshuggah (who invented "djent").
I don't think Jinjer is a good or bad representation of where modern metal is going, because they represent such a small subset of the ridiculously wide range of what metal is. Metal as a whole is very fractious, and what's good for one sub genre, may not be very welcome as a representation of another. Jinjer's an incredible band, but I doubt I'd recommend them as an introduction to Doom or Symphonic Black Metals, respectively.
Exactly they have nothing to do with symphonic,folk,doom,power,black,ect theres so many subgenres just saying "metal" doesnt mean much beyond its heavy
And even less to Metalcore, as the English Wikipedia page incorrenctly labels them.
Temperatures where I’m from during the summer very regularly reach almost 40° Celsius.
More Jinjer Please.
Will do 😊
Jinjer is an awesome band, since you like looking so much at the vocals with a wide range, and since you have looked at Nightwish, I would recommend Beast in Black, they are pretty impressive and their song Blind and Frozen is a very good place to start followed by From Hell with Love (truth be said all their songs are good but if you really want a good representation start with those 2). They certainly are willing to not to limit themselves to 1 style of music. The lead singer, Yannis Papadopoulos has an insane range, definitely on par with Tati, different, but on par and even has vocal cover of Nightwish's Ghost love Score that gives Floor a run for her money.
Bit late to the game, but this footage was shot during several show when they were a support for another band (I believe Arch Angel) If you know how hectic these shows are (I'm a soundguy, worked at a venue for 17 years, I know) as a support, It's even more amazing Tatiana always seems to be aware where the camera is to interact with it, while singing and jumping around.
to the point of wall of sound vs. pulled back and dynamic intricate stuff. in my opionion there is a place for both, sometimes you just need to get blasted in the face with a wall of sound and then there is times, especially if you take your time to really LISTEN to the music, where the more dynamic und complex/intricate stuff hits just the spot.
So i think most metalheads can appreciate both of those worlds.
I think you’re right! And I think I really appreciate both as well. It’s one that I’m going to ponder a few more times before we’re through but there is definitely space for both 🥰
At the time you filmed this Oklahoma, US was seeing "heat indexes" of around 46 deg. C (115 deg. F). At 10:20AM 8-9-23 It is currently a humid/rainy 25 deg. C (77 deg. F).
I think , Jinjer "I Speak Astronomy" , there is a very good example of her breath control in that one as well as Perennial. If you want some Reggae do the One Take Vocal of Judgment and Punishment. If you want to see how low she goes, live version of Whose Gonna be the One. You'll never run into the same kind of song twice with them. You could do one a week and fill a few months of their content. Jinjer, is their OWN thing. They are a good representation of Progressive Metal, but they just feel like their own thing.
Yeah quite a few people have said similar things about Jinjer which is super cool! I have ‘I speak Astronomy’ on my list. That one will be next m 😊💪
The Tool and Meshuggah reference is kinda spot on. One of their biggest influences is Meshuggah and they are pretty progressive, which Tool is the epitome of.
I don’t know if people understand how precise and controlled you have to be to switch between harsh and clean tone within the space of a quarter note.
I grew up in the Mojave Desert. Summer temperatures would occasionally kiss 50°, but often hovered in the mid 40°'s. We were not far from the hottest place on Earth, Death Valley. I once, personally experienced a Summer, while stationed near Joshua Tree California, with The American Marine Corps, where we kissed 56°c. 3 days in a row. That was 0.6° shy of the world record, at the time. They say it was a dry heat, but once you pass 40, well.....Kilns and Pizza Ovens are also dry heat. I now live in Canada. While warmer than Scotland, in Summer, is much more suited to my pasty British/Celtic ars.... ancestry.
Please make part 3 of Tatiana performing her one taker of Judgement and Punishment 🙏🏻
No worries there, I will absolutely be returning to this band and theyre so amazing. Thank you so much for watching my dude 😊
I'm in Northern California, and 27c is AMAZING here. LOL I've been complaining that it's almost July and we've only had a few days (like 4 lol) of 33c. I want my 37c summer already! LOL
I think I would look like a rotisserie chicken if I was in that heat!! It’s inhuman 😂🫠
@@SoulSingerDiscovers😂😂😂
I’m going to see them august 1st I hope they are as good live
Well this is not live, it's the promo video of the song. Hence, it's the studio version of it. But you can find a live version, too. Cheers Melisa.
Thank my dude I’ll check it out 😊
