Yes, you have missed out. But lucky for you, they have a fantastic back catalogue to explore. And is this what Jinjer usually sounds like? Yes. And no. Their sound always sounds like them somehow, but they experiment with genres quite a bit.
It's funny how you, Jen, some random person on the internet is the one constant in my life. I remember when I first heard Jinjer in 2019 I saw you on every single reaction video just like me and you're still here. I've continued to see you on videos here and there the whole time and here you are again. I hope you get to catch them live soon :)
Better late than never, right? Haha. It's like discovering a really good TV show when it has a few seasons already out and you can go and binge it because it's so great. It's refreshing and exciting when a band steps outside of the box and does something new. It's one of the reasons I like the band Thrice (not similar to Jinjer), they tend to do something different each record release.
@@KytexEditsHaha. Thanks! I’ve seen them (and met them before), but will be seeing them again in November. I have to fill time at work somehow, so I casually check out TH-cam reactions for my favorite artists. You can find me on most reactions to Jinjer, Slaughter to Prevail, Leprous, Ne Obliviscaris, Twelve Foot Ninja, Zeal & Ardor, Spiritbox, Lingua Ignota, Chelsea Wolfe....etc. 😊🤘🏻
That is incredible. There are actually not many bands I can think of who can lay claim to being a good studio and live band. I think that's why I am such a huge Gojira fan as well, they're one band that comes to mind when I think of talented in the studio and live. Funnily enough, I hear glimpses of Gojira in this track as well.
@@Beggars.If anything the vocals are even better live, Tatiana can hit some amazingly high notes that don't even sound real when you see them live, like in the recorded music she does it here and there, live she hits those notes constantly.
I'm 66 years old. I've been listening to music since I could walk. Jinjer are my favourite band by quite a margin. All their tracks sound like Jinjer, but they're all different. My favourites are "Who is going to be the one (live)" "Perennial" (live at Wacken or the MV - both good) "Ape" "Pit of Consciousness". I could go on, but we'd be here all day!
That's incredible, David. I've often wondered when I am a little bit older if I will still like metal and it's reassuring to me that you still enjoy it, so I am no longer worried. Jinjer definitely seems like an incredible band and their fans equally so.
@@Beggars. I love music more than ever now, although I have become more fussy as I have aged! It's quality over quantity these days, although, having said that, I probably listen to a wider range of genres now than I used to. I suppose I no longer worry about what is "cool" nowadays and just listen to what I like! 🙂
Welcome to the wonderful world of Jinjer my friend, they are a phenomenal band. Funny how you mentioned the band recording at the same time. Most people are introduced to Jinjer with the song/video Pisces (Live Session) which is a session recording. It was meant to showcase Vlad (who was their new drummer at the time) because they liked his drum style/changes to that song compared to the original recording done by their previous drummer Dmitry Kim, (who is also a phenomenal drummer) It ended up going viral because of Tati's insane vocals, and the rest is Jinjer history. You have so much to choose from when it comes to Jinjer, each song is unique and different, but all of them are fantastic. Enjoy the Jinjer journey my friend, and as always, stay Metal. 😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you, Steve. The live recording you speak of is the video I keep seeing recommended on TH-cam and have never got around to seeing. It's the one where Tatiana is in the thumbnail with what looks like a short black haircut, right? I've been told I have to check that out, so I think that will definitely the next one on my list. The drummer based off this one track is insanely talented, it's not often you hear someone playing grooves like this in heavy music and parts that wouldn't sound out of place in a downtown smoky jazz club somewhere as well.
Pisces is their ballad. It's usually the one that most folks are introduced to, but it's not typical of their usual sound. Their usual sound is like this, very groovy and progressive. There are tons of videos of them live. They sound the same live as in studio. Max Morton is their producer. He also produces Ignea.
I have definitely seen the video for Pisces floating around. That's the popular live studio vid, right? I think that's the one I speak of when I say I have seen them recommended to me on TH-cam before. I am going to dig deep into Jinjer, I have a huge appreciation of talent.
Welcome to the rabbit hole and be prepared to be embraced by the Jinjer Army! There are only 2 bands that I've actually been excited about in the last few years Gojira, and Jinjer! They're just insanely talented musicians. There are no weak links here! To answer some of your questions... It's not live tracked, they're just incredibly talented at sound engineering and they are masters at following their click tracks. You almost can't tell the difference between recorded Jinjer and live Jinjer. The drummer Vlad is the one responsible for most of the composition. He wrote 9 out of the 11 tracks on this upcoming album. Fun fact: Every single one of these members is a replacement member of this band! The band formed in 2009, Tatiana and Roman (guitar) joined in 2010 and I think the bass player Eugene joined in 2011. Vlad is their 5th drummer who came along in 2016. They don't even know what "Jinjer" means! Their biggest influences musically are Mudvayne and Opeth. Tatiana's influences vocally come from Gwen Stefani, Amy Winehouse, Bob Marley, and Kurt Cobain. I hope we get to see you react to some more Jinjer, enjoy the ride!
Thank you and honestly, I feel so welcomed by the Jinjer fandom. Just based off of the comments I've received on this video, I can already tell their fans are passionate and a warm bunch of people. Not a lot of bands can lay claim to a devoted and non-toxic fanbase like I've witnessed here. It's a true testament in my opinion as to how good their music is. The sound engineering on this is incredible, I can't think of another band around of this calibre who sounds like this. The drums definitely have a natural feel and sound to them, they're not overly compressed or loud, you can hear the ghost notes on the snare and cymbals splashing. It's refreshing to hear a heavy band who sounds like they don't rely on triggers or samples for their drums. It's funny you mention Gwen Stefani being an influence for Tatiana, I actually felt like in some parts of this track I was reminded of Gwen.
Excellent analysis. Their mixes are always rock solid with no gimmicks. Some layering and basic production stuff, but it’s pure talent... I’m looking forward to seeing more of your Jinjer reactions. Pisces, live session, then Perrenial live at Whacken.
To some extent they did pave the way for a lot of other women in metal, but they certainly weren't the first and they don't really support the movement. They aren't against women in metal by any means, but they are of the mind that music is music and it shouldn't matter what gender the lead singer is, there shouldn't be all this fanfare and attention around a band just because the vocalist is female. The last thing they want is for people to be drawn to them because of that and not because they like the music itself and I totally agree. This is indeed the studio version, I believe it was produced by Max Morton. One of the things that makes this band great is that there is no weak link, they are all extraordinary musicians and masters of their class. They also understand how to work as a team and compliment each other. They don't compete for the spotlight, they play exactly what the song needs at exactly the right time. Live performances are where they really shine, their playing is incredibly tight and polished, but they also know how to put on a performance -especially Tatiana. Whenever possible they do live shows with the same equipment they used in the studio which makes their live and studio performances sound very similar. This song was just released, but they already have a live recording of it, it's the last song in this show: th-cam.com/video/ByU5KM_ADp4/w-d-xo.html This song is very different to what has come before it, but it's also the same in a way. Their sound is very diverse, but it all has that signature Jinjer sound. Definitely do some more reactions to them, it doesn't even matter which song you pick, they're all good
I really respect that, and you're right. Whatever impact they have had on the heavy music scene and encouraging other women to go into heavier music is just a natural side-effect of Jinjer being Jinjer. I have seen a bit of the fanfare around this band being because Tatiana is a woman and can sing/scream really well, but a lot of the people who have responded in these comments always mention how talented the band is, less so than they have who the people are in the band. It's really nice to see. The production on this track astounds me. As soon as I heard the way they mixed the vocals and the work on the drums, I thought it was live, but I realised it's the unprocessed drums that give it that real feel, which is awesome. I could immediately see how talented this band was the first few seconds into this track. I was honestly (and still am) blown away. I'm diving into their live stuff now too.
i notice their live performances are extremely close to the studio songs - and they have said in multiple interviews that the goal is to achieve what they do live. they basically started as a gig band so live performance is their building blocks
you have got such a lot to listen too, every song is unique and equally awesome. and they sound just as good live as they do in the studio as you will find out if you dive in. welcome to the rabbit hole, strap in and enjoy the ride.
I'm definitely being pulled into the rabbit hole. Seeing how welcoming and friendly Jinjer fans are also pulls me in further. Usually when a band has such a great fanbase, it's indicative of the music also being great.
This is a response to when you asked "if they always sound like this". Listen to all their music...Almost each album has different members and its crazy cause each album is SO good...Their latest album has all the same current members and is the introduction to this new sound of Jinjer as a whole. Which we can all agree is incredible lol.
A lot of people have mentioned in the comments their sound is varied and different each release, which excites me. Someone mentioned early in their career they used to be more metalcore, which makes sense for a band that formed in 2009.
You are not an idiot anymore! smile. Good reaction, thanks. Happily would see your reaction on other Jinjer music, their early stuff is less prog but more frankly energetic and the same talented, like "Sit stay roll over' from 2015 or 'I speak astronomy' from 2016 what is their early quite proggy.
This is an amazing band. Honestly next level. Check out and react to some of their other songs. Retrospection live in Melbourne is legit. So is Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev. But you can’t go wrong with any of their songs. They are all good. Subscribed.
I definitely get that impression off of this one track, the musicianship is impressive. A few people have recommended live in Melbourne stuff, so I definitely need to check out more of their live stuff as well. I have a lot to get through in the coming months, haha.
To me it is just funny to see the huge band list of HellFest 2022 festival, with Jinjer being somewhere, though on the main stage, in a smaller font size, while to my, I think, quite objective opinion (I am heavily into metal since 1988), they are in the top 5 of the metal bands in the world now, and have been for at least 3 years. Thanks for appreciation.
Roman's guitar & Eugene's bass both go thru a Helix™ for dependability, given their years of constant touring before the lockdown bullsh1t hit. This and the previous "Macro" album & "Micro" EP were recorded, engineered, mixed & mastered in Kaska Records Studios in Kiev, by producer Max Morton. And I agree with you that this recording bodes well for the upcoming album release. #CrispAF :) Vlad's drumming is SO tasty. Possibly his depth of musicality comes from the fact he's a classically trained pianist to trade (& I've seen clips of him being very convincing on guitar & upright bass too) #AnnoyinglyTalented LOL This is the first (& so far only) band with extreme vocals I've gotten into. It's the composition that had me hooked, initially *despite* the harsh vocals. Integrity is paramount in music for me tho, & I 100% *believe* Tatiana when she's up there doing her thing. So much so that Jinjer are now my favourite current band. I'll not bother giving specific recommendations- your comments will quickly fill up with those! :)
That's awesome. Not a lot of artists are using the Line 6 Helix opting for Kemper, Axe FX and now Neural DSP. I actually use the Helix myself after hearing what Dustin Kensrue of Thrice does with it. I wonder if they'll ever release Helix patches for some of their sounds? The guitar and bass on this track sounded so good. The production is on point. If you close your eyes and listen to this song, it almost sounds like you're in the room with them as they perform.
Just stumbled across your channel when i saw Jinjer in the title. Great reaction. Liked and sub’d, and you definately need to jump down the Jinjer rabbit hole. Typically reactors start with Pisces, but since you started with their newest song from their upcoming album, i’d recommend On the Top or Pit of Consciousness, both live in Kiev. Have fun! 🍻
Cheers for the like and subscription. I am definitely going to be jumping down the rabbit hole. It's funny you mention that track, I've seen it recommended in the sidebar on TH-cam (when I mention in the video I've seen recommendations on TH-cam I am pretty sure it's that version). A lot of people speak highly of their live stuff, so I think I need to start there and work my way to the studio stuff.
I love it that you noticed two of the things that made me a big fan of this band, after staying away from Metal for more than 10 years: how organic they sound. No amp sims (or at least one created by Roman instead of the ones everyone and their mother is using in today's Metal) and most importantly, no sample replacement on the drums. The only exception was on their 4th drummer, Dmitry Kim, era. All the other drummers recorded the natural sound of their drum kits. Like Jeffrey Fisher said, they pride themselves of sounding almost live in the records, that way when they perform live the audience will have almost the same experience as when they listen to the records. Like you said in another comment, a bit like Gojira. So many bands tend to over-produce their records and when they play the songs live, the expectations fall very short. Picking up on your YT name, you should listen to their song Beggars' Dance. After listening to Vortex, it'll give the expression "and now for something completely different" a whole new meaning. ; )
This track got me addicted and the devotion and warmness of everyone who has commented here equally so. I am going to be checking out their live stuff next.
I've seen a few people mention Retrospection, especially the live Melbourne version. I'll definitely be working my way back through their catalogue, starting with the last album.
You sir did not pop your Jinjer cherry . You placed it on a nuclear warhead and had it obliterated. They did release teaser videos of each member laying down their tracks. Whether or not the final track was recorded live I do not know. But I do know when they get on stage and preform live they sound as good if not better than the studio tracks. I'll suggest who is going to be the one offical live concert or Home Back the omv is excellent or their preference from the Alive in Melbourne concert version the time stamps are in the description.
Haha, that's a beautiful analogy. I love it when bands do teaser videos of themselves in the studio, I love seeing the glimpses into the writing and recording process. Thank you for the suggestions, I am definitely noting all of these down.
I think you’re a reviewer I would really appreciate a double feature reaction Live vs Album and is would recommend Perennial video and then Live at Wacken. I’m a huge Jinjer fan considering my first and only tattoo is of their symbol. Not a bad song by them and their live shows are flawless…not to mention meeting them in person they are super down to earth and kind.
I really am going to check out their live stuff, everyone speaks so highly of it. And then check out their studio stuff as well. I have a lot of catching up to do.
It's taken them the better part of the last decade as a band to arrive at this wonderful, Prog direction. Their earlier material is much more conventional metalcore. I can guarantee you it was produced by Max Morton, at his studio in Kiev.
I looked up and saw they have been around since 2009, so the metalcore sound in their earlier material makes sense. I was going through a huge metalcore phase at that time, I would have loved this band if I discovered them. I was listening to more conventional metalcore at the time like Oh, Sleeper, Caliban and As I Lay Dying. I wish I discovered Jinjer sooner. I love prog music these days, so I am glad they're going in this direction.
Cheers for the subscription. I am definitely planning on checking out more of their stuff, I've got the live and studio stuff to check out. There is a lot to get through, but we'll get there. This will just turn into a Jinjer reaction channel now, haha.
Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole. As others have said, there really isn't a bad song and each one is unique in their own way. I can confirm after seeing them live - when they were here in Australia early last year - that they sound exactly as they do on the stuido version. There is no words to describle how worthwhile it is seeing them live if you ever get the chance.
I can't believe I missed out on them last year (I'm in Australia as well). Hopefully once this pandemic stuff settles I get to see them, sounds like this new material is going to be incredible live.
I definitely am going to check out the Hellfest performance, I want to hear what Vortex sounds like live.

You can always check any of their live stuff... there is plenty in TH-cam and fans prefer live performances, since they're awesome and sound even better than in studio recordings. Try for example Pit of Conciousness live at Kiev ... it's incredible.
Those live performances are definitely highly regarded and a lot of people have recommended the Melbourne and Kiev live stuff a lot, so I think I am going to start there next.
To hear it actually live, they just participated in an online concert "Hellfest at Home" and this was the last song in the hour-long set. To avoid spoiling a lot of their best work, the timestamp is th-cam.com/video/ByU5KM_ADp4/w-d-xo.htmlm39s (p.s. I've seen some people think their live performances are lip-synced because they are so spot on, but if you listen line by line there are slight differences in pronounciation. The similarity seems more pronounced here because Tati hasn't performed this song 100+ times yet so boredom hasn't become an issue. :p )
Cheers, Cam. I mentioned this elsewhere, but it's like discovering a great new TV series which is a few seasons in. You get to binge it, which I plan on doing with Jinjer.
Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole.... now you just need to jump in to see how deep the hole goes... and welcome to the Jinjer Army to your channel.. you just doubled your subscribers ... hahaha
The Jinjer army is incredible and not to mention very warm. It's really nice to see such a welcoming and non-toxic fanbase, especially for a metal band. From what I've been recommended, the rabbit hole is quite deep, but I am ready to dive in. Here's hoping I don't disappoint everyone, haha.

@@Beggars. you won't ... yours was a very fresh reaction.. I loved it, subscribed, liked and commented .. hahha
It's never too late. This is a bit different from some of their other albums, but sound wise they are a unique band and rarely does one song sound like the next. They have a few IG videos showing their recording process for their next album that might answer your questions. They are a very tight band that are stunning live. Checking out some live performances would be fun. "Retrospection", "Pit of Consciousness", and "Perennial" are some top notch live performances.
Absolutely never too late. It's like discovering a great TV show that is three seasons in, you get to binge the greatness. Not a lot of bands can claim to have a unique and varied sound, I've heard similar things from other commenters here, so it just makes me even more excited. And I definitely want to check out those recording videos too, I love the glimpses into writing and recording of great music. A couple of people have mentioned they don't live track, but their great sound comes from working with the same producer for all of their stuff who clearly understands how to make them sound good without overproducing them.
I definitely will! A lot of the commenters here speak very highly of their live stuff, so I am considering starting there and then listening to the studio stuff, haha.
ahaha, i litterally died when the vortex appears and you, in the most calm and detached manner possible, just say: "oh! looks like a storm, or something" ^^ I don' know where you come from, but this one of the most british things i've witnessed for a long time. Thank you for the laughs and for your reaction!
Kinda of a paradox, but Jinjer never sounds the same, but at the same time you will always be able to identify a JInjer song by its sound. I can only say expect the unexpected, as Jinjer has a lot of variety not just between, but also within their songs. They also have some very high quality live videos, which are of course touched up, but in a similar professional / high quality way that makes it very subtle / unintrusive, so it does not take away the overall live experience, or rather even enhances it further. Some of the lower quality live videos can still be worth it though, as Tatiana has an insane amount of stage presence and can deliver a really enjoyable show and performance. I'll drop my usual Jinjer recommendations here, minus this one ofc, but I would also highly recommend to check out the cherry popper Pisces. The shock value is gone at this point, but I think it is still important to understand why this went viral. The live session is actually a re-recording of a slightly older song, which was done just to show off their (at the time) new drummer, who made it sound quite a bit differently with his unique style. The video description there has some more information about the mix too. As far as this song and production goes, I would say the band matured immensely, and it shows. There's quite a bit of history behind this band with lots of hardships, and I think it formed them and made them who they are right now with this new album. Official video suggestions: Teacher, Teacher I Speak Astronomy Cloud Factory Retrospection No Hoard Of Value (official lyric video) Home Back Sit Stay Roll Over Live suggestions: Perennial live at Wacken Who Is Gonna Be The One live On The Top live in Kiev Pit Of Consciousness live in Kiev Judgement & Punishment (one take vocal performance)
Thank you very much for the suggestions. A lot of people have commented similarly saying how they have a widely varied catalogue of music and honestly, I respect that and find it exciting. I'm really looking forward to digging in and checking out their other stuff. Thank you for the recommendations as well. I'll be sure to check every single one of those out.
You need to check out there truly live stuff, it's all fucking incredible. All of there live album Alive in Melbourne is awesome so On the Top and Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev versions are really worth watching.
Noah and Call Me a Symbol are awesome songs off this album also, they got a ton of great music though, I feel like every album you can hear their sound mature and change and it makes the older albums like King of Everything still good to listen to because it sounds a bit different, btw King of Everything is full of great songs too like I Speak Astronomy.
It is not a one day fly. It's a great band with lots of high quality stuff and video's and they are live at their best. So you have at least 15 different vids to look forward to.
I have been recommended quite a few of their live performances and then I have their discography to get through as well. As I mentioned to a few other people, it's like discovering a great new TV show a few seasons in and getting to binge it.
I definitely am going to check out some of their live stuff, it comes highly recommended from a lot of people here. Cheers for the subscription Jim, you're a legend.
@@jimmorris67 Something tells me that I am going to like what I hear. I respect talented musicianship and production especially. Tatiana seems like a very talented vocalist as well, her singing voice is infectious and those screams/growls are incredible.
I really do. Discovering a band that is over 10 years into their career, there's a lot of music to listen too. Not to mention everyone speaks so highly of the live stuff, but I am ready to roll my sleeves up.
The bad news: yes you are a loser for not listening to Jinjer before. The good news: You are now self aware regarding Jinjer. Welcome to the world of the greatest metal band in the world today. With each new day you are less of a loser and more and more a progressive human being...
Hahaha, I definitely am a loser. The self awareness hit me pretty quickly about a minute into this track. I am ready to be shaped into a Jinjer fan now.
@@Beggars. Welcome brother... The band is from Ukraine and Max Morton (from kyiv) is the producer. I think the fact that they are ethnic Russians with a different cultural heritage adds to their unique sound. Two years ago I was of the opinion that women just could not do metal and the only reason I clicked on the video was to see if she had a nice ass. My first reaction was as identical to yours as is possible...
It’s been a while since I’ve heard someone trying quite so hard, to fit in all the key phrases, in order to sound cool. Good luck man. Try being unique/yourself more. I’m sure I’d like that guy.
I'm sorry you feel that way, re todd. I was genuinely blown away by how great this track was and how talented the band are (especially the drummer who is phenomenal). I'm not sure what key phrases you speak of being mentioned in the video, but whatever they were, they were relevant at the time of this reaction and very much a natural thing. I didn't mean to upset you by posting this reaction.
They don't live track. They record each part independently. One thing about Jinjer is they are very strong when playing live. Each of them can pull off live whatever they do in studio. Of course, the vocal layering isn't there when live but they do use some backing tracks for vocal harmonies in places or for a guitar track b/c they only have once guitarist. Any backing tracks are minimal though and very tastefully done. They don't rely on it. Its there to enhance the live performance. Max Morton produced it. The drummer wrote most of the music on new album. He's the best thing to happen to Jinjer and I don't think they'd be where they are without him.
It's actually incredible they didn't live track this. It sounds like you're in the room with them on this one. The drums feel really raw and tight, the guitars have a really nice tone to them. Max did an exceptional job, I appreciate how the bass isn't buried either and you can actually hear it quite clearly.

You can find me on most reactions to Jinjer, Slaughter to Prevail, Leprous, Ne Obliviscaris, Twelve Foot Ninja, Zeal & Ardor, Spiritbox, Lingua Ignota, Chelsea Wolfe....etc. 😊🤘🏻
@@KytexEdits Haha same here actually....
Not one bad song by this band. Songs have different flavors but similar formula. Insanely talented musicians!
The talent on display in this track alone is a testament to how good this band is and I've only heard one song so far.
Jinjer - Perennial (LIVE Wacken), Jinjer - Speaking Astronomy (official), Jinjer - Home Back (official), etc, etc, etc.
Can confirm after seeing them in person there live performances sound exactly like there studio tracks minus some of the layered local tracks
That is incredible. There are actually not many bands I can think of who can lay claim to being a good studio and live band. I think that's why I am such a huge Gojira fan as well, they're one band that comes to mind when I think of talented in the studio and live. Funnily enough, I hear glimpses of Gojira in this track as well.
@@Beggars.If anything the vocals are even better live, Tatiana can hit some amazingly high notes that don't even sound real when you see them live, like in the recorded music she does it here and there, live she hits those notes constantly.
I'm 66 years old. I've been listening to music since I could walk. Jinjer are my favourite band by quite a margin. All their tracks sound like Jinjer, but they're all different. My favourites are "Who is going to be the one (live)" "Perennial" (live at Wacken or the MV - both good) "Ape" "Pit of Consciousness". I could go on, but we'd be here all day!
That's incredible, David. I've often wondered when I am a little bit older if I will still like metal and it's reassuring to me that you still enjoy it, so I am no longer worried. Jinjer definitely seems like an incredible band and their fans equally so.

It's quality over quantity these days, although, having said that, I probably listen to a wider range of genres now than I used to. I suppose I no longer worry about what is "cool" nowadays and just listen to what I like! 🙂
Welcome to the wonderful world of Jinjer my friend, they are a phenomenal band. Funny how you mentioned the band recording at the same time. Most people are introduced to Jinjer with the song/video Pisces (Live Session) which is a session recording. It was meant to showcase Vlad (who was their new drummer at the time) because they liked his drum style/changes to that song compared to the original recording done by their previous drummer Dmitry Kim, (who is also a phenomenal drummer) It ended up going viral because of Tati's insane vocals, and the rest is Jinjer history. You have so much to choose from when it comes to Jinjer, each song is unique and different, but all of them are fantastic. Enjoy the Jinjer journey my friend, and as always, stay Metal. 😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thank you, Steve. The live recording you speak of is the video I keep seeing recommended on TH-cam and have never got around to seeing. It's the one where Tatiana is in the thumbnail with what looks like a short black haircut, right? I've been told I have to check that out, so I think that will definitely the next one on my list. The drummer based off this one track is insanely talented, it's not often you hear someone playing grooves like this in heavy music and parts that wouldn't sound out of place in a downtown smoky jazz club somewhere as well.
@@Beggars. Vlad on the drums is insane, super-talented! Pisces is a great showcase for him.

Welcome to the rabbit hole and be prepared to be embraced by the Jinjer Army! There are only 2 bands that I've actually been excited about in the last few years Gojira, and Jinjer! They're just insanely talented musicians. There are no weak links here! To answer some of your questions... It's not live tracked, they're just incredibly talented at sound engineering and they are masters at following their click tracks. You almost can't tell the difference between recorded Jinjer and live Jinjer. The drummer Vlad is the one responsible for most of the composition. He wrote 9 out of the 11 tracks on this upcoming album. Fun fact: Every single one of these members is a replacement member of this band! The band formed in 2009, Tatiana and Roman (guitar) joined in 2010 and I think the bass player Eugene joined in 2011. Vlad is their 5th drummer who came along in 2016. They don't even know what "Jinjer" means! Their biggest influences musically are Mudvayne and Opeth. Tatiana's influences vocally come from Gwen Stefani, Amy Winehouse, Bob Marley, and Kurt Cobain. I hope we get to see you react to some more Jinjer, enjoy the ride!
Thank you and honestly, I feel so welcomed by the Jinjer fandom. Just based off of the comments I've received on this video, I can already tell their fans are passionate and a warm bunch of people. Not a lot of bands can lay claim to a devoted and non-toxic fanbase like I've witnessed here. It's a true testament in my opinion as to how good their music is. The sound engineering on this is incredible, I can't think of another band around of this calibre who sounds like this. The drums definitely have a natural feel and sound to them, they're not overly compressed or loud, you can hear the ghost notes on the snare and cymbals splashing. It's refreshing to hear a heavy band who sounds like they don't rely on triggers or samples for their drums. It's funny you mention Gwen Stefani being an influence for Tatiana, I actually felt like in some parts of this track I was reminded of Gwen.
Jinjer - On the Top (Live in Kiev)
Jinjer - Home Back (Official video)
2 of their best that will knock you off your feet.
Cheers for the suggestions, you legend. I am noting all of these down, I have a lot to catch up on and get through, haha.
Excellent analysis. Their mixes are always rock solid with no gimmicks. Some layering and basic production stuff, but it’s pure talent... I’m looking forward to seeing more of your Jinjer reactions. Pisces, live session, then Perrenial live at Whacken.
Jinjer was the last band I saw live in Sydney last year before the Apocalypse.
They sound this good live .
Very talented band .
I am kicking myself I didn't discover this band sooner, I would have loved to catch a live show.
Jinjer never sounds the same but you will always know it is them.
To some extent they did pave the way for a lot of other women in metal, but they certainly weren't the first and they don't really support the movement. They aren't against women in metal by any means, but they are of the mind that music is music and it shouldn't matter what gender the lead singer is, there shouldn't be all this fanfare and attention around a band just because the vocalist is female. The last thing they want is for people to be drawn to them because of that and not because they like the music itself and I totally agree.
This is indeed the studio version, I believe it was produced by Max Morton. One of the things that makes this band great is that there is no weak link, they are all extraordinary musicians and masters of their class. They also understand how to work as a team and compliment each other. They don't compete for the spotlight, they play exactly what the song needs at exactly the right time. Live performances are where they really shine, their playing is incredibly tight and polished, but they also know how to put on a performance -especially Tatiana. Whenever possible they do live shows with the same equipment they used in the studio which makes their live and studio performances sound very similar. This song was just released, but they already have a live recording of it, it's the last song in this show: th-cam.com/video/ByU5KM_ADp4/w-d-xo.html
This song is very different to what has come before it, but it's also the same in a way. Their sound is very diverse, but it all has that signature Jinjer sound. Definitely do some more reactions to them, it doesn't even matter which song you pick, they're all good
I really respect that, and you're right. Whatever impact they have had on the heavy music scene and encouraging other women to go into heavier music is just a natural side-effect of Jinjer being Jinjer. I have seen a bit of the fanfare around this band being because Tatiana is a woman and can sing/scream really well, but a lot of the people who have responded in these comments always mention how talented the band is, less so than they have who the people are in the band. It's really nice to see.
The production on this track astounds me. As soon as I heard the way they mixed the vocals and the work on the drums, I thought it was live, but I realised it's the unprocessed drums that give it that real feel, which is awesome. I could immediately see how talented this band was the first few seconds into this track. I was honestly (and still am) blown away. I'm diving into their live stuff now too.
i notice their live performances are extremely close to the studio songs - and they have said in multiple interviews that the goal is to achieve what they do live. they basically started as a gig band so live performance is their building blocks
Welcome to Jinjer world! We accept you 😈🙏
I love how warm and inviting Jinjer fans have shown these themselves to be in all of these comments. Better late than never, haha.
you have got such a lot to listen too, every song is unique and equally awesome. and they sound just as good live as they do in the studio as you will find out if you dive in. welcome to the rabbit hole, strap in and enjoy the ride.
I'm definitely being pulled into the rabbit hole. Seeing how welcoming and friendly Jinjer fans are also pulls me in further. Usually when a band has such a great fanbase, it's indicative of the music also being great.
This is a response to when you asked "if they always sound like this". Listen to all their music...Almost each album has different members and its crazy cause each album is SO good...Their latest album has all the same current members and is the introduction to this new sound of Jinjer as a whole. Which we can all agree is incredible lol.
A lot of people have mentioned in the comments their sound is varied and different each release, which excites me. Someone mentioned early in their career they used to be more metalcore, which makes sense for a band that formed in 2009.
You are not an idiot anymore! smile. Good reaction, thanks. Happily would see your reaction on other Jinjer music, their early stuff is less prog but more frankly energetic and the same talented, like "Sit stay roll over' from 2015 or 'I speak astronomy' from 2016 what is their early quite proggy.
This is an amazing band. Honestly next level. Check out and react to some of their other songs. Retrospection live in Melbourne is legit. So is Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev. But you can’t go wrong with any of their songs. They are all good. Subscribed.
Retrospection - Live in Melboure is f@$kin spectacular
I definitely get that impression off of this one track, the musicianship is impressive. A few people have recommended live in Melbourne stuff, so I definitely need to check out more of their live stuff as well. I have a lot to get through in the coming months, haha.
There live gig in Spain is excellent...check the vid.
You have SO many more surprises from Jinjer! Just subscribed to see you do more Jinjer videos. Best band around.... period.
To me it is just funny to see the huge band list of HellFest 2022 festival, with Jinjer being somewhere, though on the main stage, in a smaller font size, while to my, I think, quite objective opinion (I am heavily into metal since 1988), they are in the top 5 of the metal bands in the world now, and have been for at least 3 years. Thanks for appreciation.
Roman's guitar & Eugene's bass both go thru a Helix™ for dependability, given their years of constant touring before the lockdown bullsh1t hit.
This and the previous "Macro" album & "Micro" EP were recorded, engineered, mixed & mastered in Kaska Records Studios in Kiev, by producer Max Morton. And I agree with you that this recording bodes well for the upcoming album release. #CrispAF :)
Vlad's drumming is SO tasty. Possibly his depth of musicality comes from the fact he's a classically trained pianist to trade (& I've seen clips of him being very convincing on guitar & upright bass too) #AnnoyinglyTalented LOL
This is the first (& so far only) band with extreme vocals I've gotten into. It's the composition that had me hooked, initially *despite* the harsh vocals. Integrity is paramount in music for me tho, & I 100% *believe* Tatiana when she's up there doing her thing. So much so that Jinjer are now my favourite current band. I'll not bother giving specific recommendations- your comments will quickly fill up with those! :)
That's awesome. Not a lot of artists are using the Line 6 Helix opting for Kemper, Axe FX and now Neural DSP. I actually use the Helix myself after hearing what Dustin Kensrue of Thrice does with it. I wonder if they'll ever release Helix patches for some of their sounds? The guitar and bass on this track sounded so good.
The production is on point. If you close your eyes and listen to this song, it almost sounds like you're in the room with them as they perform.
Just stumbled across your channel when i saw Jinjer in the title. Great reaction. Liked and sub’d, and you definately need to jump down the Jinjer rabbit hole. Typically reactors start with Pisces, but since you started with their newest song from their upcoming album, i’d recommend On the Top or Pit of Consciousness, both live in Kiev. Have fun! 🍻
Cheers for the like and subscription. I am definitely going to be jumping down the rabbit hole. It's funny you mention that track, I've seen it recommended in the sidebar on TH-cam (when I mention in the video I've seen recommendations on TH-cam I am pretty sure it's that version). A lot of people speak highly of their live stuff, so I think I need to start there and work my way to the studio stuff.
Finally someone with their first Jinjer reaction to a song other that Pisces. And no freaking out at Tatiana’s screams for once. Great analysis
I love it that you noticed two of the things that made me a big fan of this band, after staying away from Metal for more than 10 years: how organic they sound. No amp sims (or at least one created by Roman instead of the ones everyone and their mother is using in today's Metal) and most importantly, no sample replacement on the drums. The only exception was on their 4th drummer, Dmitry Kim, era. All the other drummers recorded the natural sound of their drum kits.
Like Jeffrey Fisher said, they pride themselves of sounding almost live in the records, that way when they perform live the audience will have almost the same experience as when they listen to the records. Like you said in another comment, a bit like Gojira. So many bands tend to over-produce their records and when they play the songs live, the expectations fall very short.
Picking up on your YT name, you should listen to their song Beggars' Dance. After listening to Vortex, it'll give the expression "and now for something completely different" a whole new meaning. ; )
Welcome to Jinjer. No turning back. Jump into their other songs.
This track got me addicted and the devotion and warmness of everyone who has commented here equally so. I am going to be checking out their live stuff next.
I'm glad you're new to Jinjer. I subbed and now get to share your journey.
Hasn't been a more cohesive band in quite a while!! Throw a dart at anything the do and you'll find something different but still all JinJer!!!
So many good songs. One of my favs is Retrospection off their last album. i prefer the offical version
I've seen a few people mention Retrospection, especially the live Melbourne version. I'll definitely be working my way back through their catalogue, starting with the last album.
BTW, they sound better live than studio. I’ve seen them in concert once, and looking forward to them returning back to Australia
You are definitely echoing sentiments from everyone else about their live stuff, which is where I think I'll be starting my Jinjer journey.
Vortex is a very good choice to start Jinjer trip. I mean this track is amazing in every way same as the video.
This was definitely an awesome track for my first listen. I'm just sorry it took so long for me to check this band out, insanely talented.
YES...they are amazing
yes
You sir did not pop your Jinjer cherry . You placed it on a nuclear warhead and had it obliterated. They did release teaser videos of each member laying down their tracks. Whether or not the final track was recorded live I do not know. But I do know when they get on stage and preform live they sound as good if not better than the studio tracks. I'll suggest who is going to be the one offical live concert or Home Back the omv is excellent or their preference from the Alive in Melbourne concert version the time stamps are in the description.
Haha, that's a beautiful analogy. I love it when bands do teaser videos of themselves in the studio, I love seeing the glimpses into the writing and recording process. Thank you for the suggestions, I am definitely noting all of these down.
I think you’re a reviewer I would really appreciate a double feature reaction Live vs Album and is would recommend Perennial video and then Live at Wacken.
I’m a huge Jinjer fan considering my first and only tattoo is of their symbol. Not a bad song by them and their live shows are flawless…not to mention meeting them in person they are super down to earth and kind.
I really am going to check out their live stuff, everyone speaks so highly of it. And then check out their studio stuff as well. I have a lot of catching up to do.
It's taken them the better part of the last decade as a band to arrive at this wonderful, Prog direction. Their earlier material is much more conventional metalcore. I can guarantee you it was produced by Max Morton, at his studio in Kiev.
I looked up and saw they have been around since 2009, so the metalcore sound in their earlier material makes sense. I was going through a huge metalcore phase at that time, I would have loved this band if I discovered them. I was listening to more conventional metalcore at the time like Oh, Sleeper, Caliban and As I Lay Dying. I wish I discovered Jinjer sooner. I love prog music these days, so I am glad they're going in this direction.
Subscribed!
Greetings from Ukraine!
Waiting for more Jinjer reactions! They worth it.
Cheers for the subscription. I am definitely planning on checking out more of their stuff, I've got the live and studio stuff to check out. There is a lot to get through, but we'll get there. This will just turn into a Jinjer reaction channel now, haha.
Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole. As others have said, there really isn't a bad song and each one is unique in their own way.
I can confirm after seeing them live - when they were here in Australia early last year - that they sound exactly as they do on the stuido version. There is no words to describle how worthwhile it is seeing them live if you ever get the chance.
I can't believe I missed out on them last year (I'm in Australia as well). Hopefully once this pandemic stuff settles I get to see them, sounds like this new material is going to be incredible live.
Good luck on your Jinjer journey! Dive deep into their stuff, it's all awesome
Jinjer is one of the best live bands ever! Just dropped the 2021 Hellfest live, that should get you up to speed. LOL's
Great vid.
I definitely am going to check out the Hellfest performance, I want to hear what Vortex sounds like live.
You can always check any of their live stuff... there is plenty in TH-cam and fans prefer live performances, since they're awesome and sound even better than in studio recordings. Try for example Pit of Conciousness live at Kiev ... it's incredible.
Those live performances are definitely highly regarded and a lot of people have recommended the Melbourne and Kiev live stuff a lot, so I think I am going to start there next.
To hear it actually live, they just participated in an online concert "Hellfest at Home" and this was the last song in the hour-long set. To avoid spoiling a lot of their best work, the timestamp is th-cam.com/video/ByU5KM_ADp4/w-d-xo.htmlm39s (p.s. I've seen some people think their live performances are lip-synced because they are so spot on, but if you listen line by line there are slight differences in pronounciation. The similarity seems more pronounced here because Tati hasn't performed this song 100+ times yet so boredom hasn't become an issue. :p )
I really cannot wait to sit down and properly watch their live performance. I already know it's going to be amazing.
@@Beggars. :D
Welcome to the Jinjer experience! You have so much catching up to do my man. Pick a Jinjer song to react to , and go with it...they are all good!
Cheers, Cam. I mentioned this elsewhere, but it's like discovering a great new TV series which is a few seasons in. You get to binge it, which I plan on doing with Jinjer.
Love it!!!!
I love the name!
Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole.... now you just need to jump in to see how deep the hole goes... and welcome to the Jinjer Army to your channel.. you just doubled your subscribers ... hahaha
The Jinjer army is incredible and not to mention very warm. It's really nice to see such a welcoming and non-toxic fanbase, especially for a metal band. From what I've been recommended, the rabbit hole is quite deep, but I am ready to dive in. Here's hoping I don't disappoint everyone, haha.
@@Beggars. you won't ... yours was a very fresh reaction.. I loved it, subscribed, liked and commented .. hahha
Well my friend you just found the King of the heap nice journey down the JinJer hole with Queen TaTi!!
I really have, Darrell. It's quite nice to know that they have so much music to check out as well. I have a lot of binging to do.
Welcome.
It's never too late.
This is a bit different from some of their other albums, but sound wise they are a unique band and rarely does one song sound like the next. They have a few IG videos showing their recording process for their next album that might answer your questions. They are a very tight band that are stunning live. Checking out some live performances would be fun. "Retrospection", "Pit of Consciousness", and "Perennial" are some top notch live performances.
Absolutely never too late. It's like discovering a great TV show that is three seasons in, you get to binge the greatness. Not a lot of bands can claim to have a unique and varied sound, I've heard similar things from other commenters here, so it just makes me even more excited. And I definitely want to check out those recording videos too, I love the glimpses into writing and recording of great music. A couple of people have mentioned they don't live track, but their great sound comes from working with the same producer for all of their stuff who clearly understands how to make them sound good without overproducing them.
Welcome to the Jinjer family
I'm very happy to be here.
Definitely a Jinjer fan 😁👍👍they are why I stopped by and why you got a like and a sub enjoy your Jinjer journey 🙂
Definitely check out their song "perennial" live at wacken
I definitely will! A lot of the commenters here speak very highly of their live stuff, so I am considering starting there and then listening to the studio stuff, haha.
This isn't live, it's studio recording. But I think they were going for a more live sound on this record.
They definitely nailed it. The drums I think are the thing that threw me off and way the vocals were mixed. It's like you're in the room with them.
Love it that you watched it one take. On all the reactions to Jinjer I watched this is a first.
ahaha, i litterally died when the vortex appears and you, in the most calm and detached manner possible, just say: "oh! looks like a storm, or something" ^^ I don' know where you come from, but this one of the most british things i've witnessed for a long time. Thank you for the laughs and for your reaction!
The best live video from them, aside from Pisces, is On The Top live in Kiev.
Incredibly sounds like a studio recording.
Kinda of a paradox, but Jinjer never sounds the same, but at the same time you will always be able to identify a JInjer song by its sound. I can only say expect the unexpected, as Jinjer has a lot of variety not just between, but also within their songs. They also have some very high quality live videos, which are of course touched up, but in a similar professional / high quality way that makes it very subtle / unintrusive, so it does not take away the overall live experience, or rather even enhances it further. Some of the lower quality live videos can still be worth it though, as Tatiana has an insane amount of stage presence and can deliver a really enjoyable show and performance.
I'll drop my usual Jinjer recommendations here, minus this one ofc, but I would also highly recommend to check out the cherry popper Pisces. The shock value is gone at this point, but I think it is still important to understand why this went viral. The live session is actually a re-recording of a slightly older song, which was done just to show off their (at the time) new drummer, who made it sound quite a bit differently with his unique style. The video description there has some more information about the mix too.
As far as this song and production goes, I would say the band matured immensely, and it shows. There's quite a bit of history behind this band with lots of hardships, and I think it formed them and made them who they are right now with this new album.
Official video suggestions:
Teacher, Teacher
I Speak Astronomy
Cloud Factory
Retrospection
No Hoard Of Value (official lyric video)
Home Back
Sit Stay Roll Over
Live suggestions:
Perennial live at Wacken
Who Is Gonna Be The One live
On The Top live in Kiev
Pit Of Consciousness live in Kiev
Judgement & Punishment (one take vocal performance)
Thank you very much for the suggestions. A lot of people have commented similarly saying how they have a widely varied catalogue of music and honestly, I respect that and find it exciting. I'm really looking forward to digging in and checking out their other stuff.
Thank you for the recommendations as well. I'll be sure to check every single one of those out.
Probably sounds that "live" because even when they play live it sounds JUST like that!
You need to check out there truly live stuff, it's all fucking incredible. All of there live album Alive in Melbourne is awesome so On the Top and Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev versions are really worth watching.
Excellent review...welcome to JINJER. Listen to PICES...
You want live try Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv
Oh you definitely need to explore this band lol. "Home back" is another great track, as well as "sit, stay, rollover"
For official videos Home Back is an absolute must. About their hometown getting caught in the war in eastern Ukraine.
I really do. I have so much lost time to make up for, but I'm ready to put in the work.
Noah and Call Me a Symbol are awesome songs off this album also, they got a ton of great music though, I feel like every album you can hear their sound mature and change and it makes the older albums like King of Everything still good to listen to because it sounds a bit different, btw King of Everything is full of great songs too like I Speak Astronomy.
It is not a one day fly. It's a great band with lots of high quality stuff and video's and they are live at their best. So you have at least 15 different vids to look forward to.
I have been recommended quite a few of their live performances and then I have their discography to get through as well. As I mentioned to a few other people, it's like discovering a great new TV show a few seasons in and getting to binge it.
You should do "Teacher, Teacher" as next song. It's in my opinion even better.
IT'S A VORTEX
you've been holding out for a long time
Great reaction check out pit of consciousness live in Kiev to get a taste for what they sound like live . Subbed for more Jinjer content.
Its unfair to other bands how good jinjer is...js🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now you're gonna react to Pisces, then Perennial, then Teacher teacher, etc, etc...
I am definitely going to work my way through some of their catalogue!
Welcome to the fun
jinjer and obscure is not even in the same galaxy.....monster band beast of a singer....and lyrics to boot....
Next jinjer sog to react who's gonna be the one live.
I definitely am going to check out their live stuff next, it comes highly recommended.
Sorry you've missed years of Jinjer but nonetheless a great place to start with 1st song of new album.
See them on stage Who is gonna be the one official live and Pit of Consciousness live Kiev better than the studio version IMO Subscribed
I definitely am going to check out some of their live stuff, it comes highly recommended from a lot of people here. Cheers for the subscription Jim, you're a legend.
@@Beggars. just see them doing Who is gonna be the one live or Pit of Consciousness live Kiev if you don’t like then ok
@@jimmorris67 Something tells me that I am going to like what I hear. I respect talented musicianship and production especially. Tatiana seems like a very talented vocalist as well, her singing voice is infectious and those screams/growls are incredible.
@@Beggars. I think you like 👍🏻
And what we gonna do now? More jinjer?
It's all but certain. This might just well become a Jinjer reaction channel now, ha.
@@Beggars. that doesn't bother me at all ha ha
It is NOT live tracked. All recorded separately.
You need to catch up mate. Watch them live and you will see
I really do. Discovering a band that is over 10 years into their career, there's a lot of music to listen too. Not to mention everyone speaks so highly of the live stuff, but I am ready to roll my sleeves up.
It's a shame this is the first, because theis a couple that would have definitely made your day. Lol
You just needed a kick in the arse to get ya jump-started. You'll be fine. No problem 👍😊🤘🤪🎶 LoL
The bad news: yes you are a loser for not listening to Jinjer before. The good news: You are now self aware regarding Jinjer. Welcome to the world of the greatest metal band in the world today. With each new day you are less of a loser and more and more a progressive human being...
Hahaha, I definitely am a loser. The self awareness hit me pretty quickly about a minute into this track. I am ready to be shaped into a Jinjer fan now.
@@Beggars. Welcome brother...
The band is from Ukraine and Max Morton (from kyiv) is the producer. I think the fact that they are ethnic Russians with a different cultural heritage adds to their unique sound. Two years ago I was of the opinion that women just could not do metal and the only reason I clicked on the video was to see if she had a nice ass. My first reaction was as identical to yours as is possible...
Better late than never........ ;)
5:40
mmm.. Yes and No
SWIRL
Nooooo. Their song Pisces is the song to start with not their brand new song my dude 😫
It’s been a while since I’ve heard someone trying quite so hard, to fit in all the key phrases, in order to sound cool.
Good luck man. Try being unique/yourself more. I’m sure I’d like that guy.
I'm sorry you feel that way, re todd. I was genuinely blown away by how great this track was and how talented the band are (especially the drummer who is phenomenal). I'm not sure what key phrases you speak of being mentioned in the video, but whatever they were, they were relevant at the time of this reaction and very much a natural thing. I didn't mean to upset you by posting this reaction.
They don't live track. They record each part independently. One thing about Jinjer is they are very strong when playing live. Each of them can pull off live whatever they do in studio. Of course, the vocal layering isn't there when live but they do use some backing tracks for vocal harmonies in places or for a guitar track b/c they only have once guitarist. Any backing tracks are minimal though and very tastefully done. They don't rely on it. Its there to enhance the live performance.
Max Morton produced it. The drummer wrote most of the music on new album. He's the best thing to happen to Jinjer and I don't think they'd be where they are without him.
It's actually incredible they didn't live track this. It sounds like you're in the room with them on this one. The drums feel really raw and tight, the guitars have a really nice tone to them. Max did an exceptional job, I appreciate how the bass isn't buried either and you can actually hear it quite clearly.
@@Beggars. Eugene is a MONSTER on bass. Just wait and see...
