No matter how many times I watch a first timer react to jinjer, that warm fuzzy feeling doesn't get old. Welcome to jinjer , where you're floored by Tatiana and then realize that the band itself is stellar. And the best part? They're the most humble people you'd ever meet!

Thank you for this reaction! Jinjer is an amazing band, and all of them are extremely talented. But Tatiana’s incredible vocal range sets them apart from the rest. All their songs are great, but I’d recommend “Teacher, Teacher”, “Perennial” or “Home Back”. You really can’t go wrong.
Tatiana takes everyone by surprise, absolutely! She's also the one that inspired me to learn to growl. Great understanding of the zodiac and duality in the song!
Excellent and accurate breakdown of the lyrics. Tatiana is a Pisces, and so is the bassist Eugene. Their music is progressive groove metal; they tend to stick to more complex time signatures. Lots of variety in their sound. I probably would never have discovered them if it wasn’t for reaction channels, but I got to see them live last November. They were also opening for Disturbed this summer.
@@KoalityReactions Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the Disturbed tour. Early ticket prices were a bit high, then I ended up recovering from a broken ankle all summer.
Eugene the bassist is also a pisces, and they wrote the song together. There's a super cute interview clip of the two of them floating around on TH-cam where they talk about writing their own experiences into the song.
Tati's live one take of Judgement and Punishment is the next best video to see. I would bring up the lyrics to get adjusted to following her harsh vocals. The whole band is next level. She's really shy in person and becomes a beast on stage. Rock on and stay heavy!! \m/
Wonderful reaction, Jenna. Tatiana and Jinjer in general opened me up to the world of harsh vocals. As a vocalist,Tati is just as expressive in her harshes as her cleans. And as the primary lyricist, she's very poetic. The instrumentalists are equally skilled, and write complex, yet approachable music. This performance was to introduce their new drummer, Vlad. Vlad is a classically trained pianist who only took up the drums when the band he was playing guitar in prior to Jinjer needed a drummer. I've seen Jinjer live 3 times, and they are as about as tight of an ensemble you will ever see. Tatiana is absolutely magnetic as a frontwoman, it's incredible.
Lol do “Teacher Teacher” next, they change up their music with each song. This one was towards the Jazzy side. Teacher Teacher is like Rap/Hip hop. Reggae and other tunes you will hear many different styles with each song. Glad you listened and reacted to them. They are very unique and the band members are great musicians! More please🙏🏼🌹
Tatyana is a very strong poet. All her poems (lyrics) are great! She knows what words are exist for. The whole band is great. This band is showered with talents!
They are phenomenal live. I’ve seen them in concert 4 times and they have gotten better and better with each performance. Definitely recommend reacting to the live videos every one has suggested. You definitely can’t go wrong with Jinjer.
Welcome to Jinjer. Tatiana is a vocal goddess and the band is top tier. Tatiana's lyrics are usually quite poetic. She was a literature major in university. I recommend "Perennial" live at Wacken for a follow up. Good reaction. (Subbed)
I’ve seen hundreds of reactions to this song.(jinjer fan.. met them all) but you have understood the song better than any other.. I’m impressed.. the lyrics were written by both Tati and Eugene (Eugene did the final verse) and both are Pisces.. this Aussie can’t wait to watch you fall in love with this amazing band.. it’s inevitable..
When I saw the thumbnail pop up, I chuckled. They are all really talented band. One thing that I liked about the song is how they play with the timing between the verses and the chorus. I believe it goes 7/8 to 12/8. Complements Tatiana’s vocal changes . Just another example of the duality. ❤
Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of Jinjer! I really enjoyed watching your reaction and appreciate that unlike many who've reacted to this video, you really "got" the lyrics and the duality of the vocals as well! Like you, harsh vocals or "growls" as they're most commonly referred to, didn't used to be my thing, either, but bands like Opeth and ESPECIALLY Jinjer have opened my mind up and expanded my musical horizons. Tatiana is one of the greatest metal vocalists to ever do it, IMO, a beautiful clean singer as well as one of the best harsh or "brutal" vocalists in the game, she and her bandmates are immensely talented musicians! I would STRONGLY recommend checking out their live performance of "Perennial" live from Wacken (the one where she's wearing a gold jumpsuit) next, as it is a perfect representation of how incredible they are in a truly live concert performance. Tati's live vocals on this one will blow your mind! My next recommendation after that would be her one-take live performance of their reggae-meets-metal masterpiece "Judgement and Punishment", I think you'll walk away from those two even MORE impressed with her massive talent! Anyhoo, really enjoyed the reaction, welcome to the awesome rabbit hole that is Jinjer, and I look forward to watching more of your reactions! Peace...
There a maybe 150-200 (! one of the most reacted to songs) reactions to Pisces on YT and yours without any doubt belongs to they better and most intelligent ones. Your interpretation of the lyrics is spot on as well as your comments about how the central idea of duality is expressed by Tatiana's voice. Thank you and congratulations!!

You nailed the duality part of the analysis. If you choose to continue down this rabbit hole (and you should), the official video for Teacher, Teacher is a must watch. Perennial live at Wacken is another. Tatiana is an other worldly vocal talent, and the rest of the band is just as good!
Tatiana is producing the harsh vocals using a technique called a false fold growl. It doesn't utilize the vocal chords at all, but instead [as the name suggests] the false vocal chords. This is how she can produce that sound and then switch immediately to clean vocals with no rasp, and no perceivable damage to her vocal chords. The Fairy Voice Mother does an excellent breakdown of how the technique works in her reaction to this video.
Finally! Somebody gets it! I have seen many reactions to this video and YOU are the first one who gets it! I have subbed to your channel strictly because of that fact! I too, am a Pisces and have understood the artists interpretation/representation of the duality that lives within me. GREAT reaction!
When the war began they all volunteered. They were told to continue touring and support the cause. She’s swimming upstream trying to find light and love. Then caught and killed by handsome butchers. Fishness? You’re so cute!😊Pretty too.
I think when she switches to her harsh vocals, you can still tell every word she says. There are a LOT of metal bands that I know they are screaming something, but I can't understand a word of it, and I've been in bands all my life basically. I got to see Jinjer live last year and she sounds just the same live as she does on their recordings. She is hypnotizing to listen to and watch and brings you in for the ride whether you wanted to or not!
Great reaction Jenna! I feel very compelled to watch reactions to this song. It is a great source of entertainment for me. I too am not a fan of harsh vocals, but I can appreciate the training and talent needed perform them correctly. Tatiana is amazing.
Great reaction!! You picked up on so much. Lol, and of course you see why this has made the reaction rounds. I always appreciate when someone can find something they admire even if the sound is not for them. Jinjer is very technically sound and musically and lyrically deep. If you decide to check out more, be sure to listen to "Perennial" live at Wacken, "Judgement and Punishment" one take, and "Vortex"
Yeah, you nailed it! Altough their songs always have soft and harsh vocals, this one is clearly divided between both to reflect the duality of Pisces. Really special band. Try the epic Perenial live at Wacken.
thanks for your efforts to understand the lyrics, the music and the band! Before I heard Jinjer for the first time 6 years ago, I couldn't do much with harsh vocals...+ then Tati came along with the whole worldclass band!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lovely greetings from a german musician and maybe next: JINJER - Wallflower (Official Video) | Napalm Records
Great reaction once again, you pulled out of the stunned moment better than a lot of reactors, with some cogent commentary. Tatiana's harsh vocals do have way more depth than the average artist who performs this way. Her various vocal techniques are all amazing. Some songs of theirs have more or less of the harsh vocals, ranging from all harsh to very little harsh, just used sparingly to punctuate thoughts. I personally was not a fan of growling and so forth until I found Jinjer. Now I'm a fan of hers at least. And I 100% agree with you that her lyrics are really deep and interesting. You very much understood the duality of Pisces. If you want to continue to get to know their stuff, I'll second several of the recommendations below. To prove she and the band can do it live (I've seen them perform live, and they are amazing), their performance of Perennial live at Wacken is great, her live solo session of Judgement & Punishment, the Teacher, Teacher music video, I Speak Astronomy... I could go on and on.
Great reaction Jenna 😃 I think still have some surprise to you in Jinjer's music 😜 I suggest Judgement & Punishment and Teacher Teacher to see more styles from Tati.
After seeing Jinjer in concert last night, I can say with confidence Tatiana was born to be exactly what she is. She owns that stage when shes performing. Its pretty impressive. I am really impressed with the whole group live. Second to the last stop on their tour and they were all playing at their peak.
You should react to Jinjer's song Home Back. Read the lyrics first, but must watch the official video. Such powerful visuals, and such a powerful song. Tatiana is such a powerful singer!
Hahahahaha Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole…… Tatiana and the rest of the band are absolutely amazing….. I highly recommend you listen to “Wallflower”…… it’ll blow you away how much control she has on her voice in that song 🤘😎🤘
Welcome to Tatiana, very sweet singer and remarkable growler. There is a whole genre of people's face reactions when they first hear this song. She is one of a kind. And she has a beautiful clean voice. You're right about Pisces and duality.
The “Superfecta” of Hard Rock and Metal: Band-Maid / The Warning, and Jinjer / Lovebites -- all pushing their core genres into the next realm! 🤘 🤘 🤘🤘 My simple take regarding her "Satanic" voice: If you were a selfless fish (Pisces) who wanted to see the world but was a bit skittish, and then got into the nets and was hooked by handsome butchers who proceed to rip away your scales and entrails (emeralds)... you'd growl too! So you see, sometimes the lyrics call for extreme vocals in a song. Tatiana (who's not singing as someone possessed, so you can toss the garlic back into the spaghetti sauce) wrote an incredible story and sang about it the way it deserved to be sung... as with most of her songs. Some vocalist just keep singing in their nice and charming voice even when the lyrics call out desperation. Not so with Tati. Her extreme expression - a rare ability - adds so much more to a song... especially if you follow the music with the lyrics and how the beautiful cacophony tells the story. Thx, Koality!
So there are some on point voice genre familiar or even voices expert reactors who convey "what just happened?" with amazement which is just awesome all the above with badass insight, and then there's yours 😆 ⚫️ 🕳...., so just had to sub, which I should have earlier today. Insightful feedback on the vocal sounds.
Welcome to Jinjer. They are the best thing in music today. The band are absolute beasts but get overlooked but Tati's insane vocals. I've seen them 2x live and they don't disappoint
I like harsh vocals when used as a contrast and/or when it fits the context (for instance using harsh vocals to represent anger or pain). In the case of "Pisces", it certainly fits the theme of duality. Thanks for another very enjoyable reaction/analysis!
Just a little breakdown of how that sound is made! It’s called a “false cord” scream, made using your vestibular folds. It’s very similar to how a dog barks. She’s essentially singing a mixed voice note that would be placed around the barrier between her mouth and sinuses maybe more forward toward her mask and moving the vestibular folds in the way of the air flow. The higher screams at the end are going to be placed more in the nasal passage. It’s done with the same abdominal tension and upper airway relaxation as a fast mixed voice vibrato
Nice!! Finally reaction where there were no stop just before of point of that drop, That makes me feel that this really might be first reaction on this video, Every other reaction videos stopped exactly same spot just before it xD you just gained subscriber. I don't follow those channels anymore who did that, they just feels like they have seen the video before it and do not give a shit about their subscribers
Tati, is a beast. She is able to do that growl, thanks to having absolute control of her false vocal chords (or folds). We all have them like when you make a fake burb.
Yeah, so I think your subscriber count is going to grow significantly if you dive into the Jinjer rabbit hole. Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air 2019 is a great showcase of the flipping between growl and cleans. Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv is pure metal mayhem. Also, Who is going to be the one? live is just Tatiana telling you how it's going to be. whilst Teacher, Teacher the orignal music video is simply the prettiest of music imaginable. The Vortex music video is very progressive. Retrospection is very hard but loving. Home Back is stark.
Tatiana is such an amazing versatile singer and best of all she is self taught and practiced her voice for many years and she also writes all the lyrics for their songs. And the rest of the band is also amazing musicians. You should check some of their live performances she does this switching on stage as well.
hehehe... it is what it is. This session was apparently to highlight their new drummer... as everyone knew Jinjer and Tatiana already. This song is one on my absolute favorites, any band, any genre, any style.
Tatiana is amazing but for me Courtney Laplante of Spiritbox is on another level. She has a voice of an angel but can also switch back and forth from scream to clean vocals every other word and she even does it mid word flawlessly. You should check out "Spiritbox Circle With Me Courtney Laplante live one take performance"
Tatiana's growl involves no primary vocal cords, preserving her singing voice from damage. It utilizes false vocal cords with vocal fry on top. She has unbelievable control.
It's one from my favorites songs to watch on reaction channel and it's not even most liked from all Jinjer pieces. Expressions of reactors, when Queen of Growling start making this beautiful sound, are priceless 🤘BTW I'm Nightwish fan😁
Tatiana is also a Pisces, and yes, the song is all about the duality. Every member of Jinjer is an exceptional musician. They are Roman on guitar, Vlad on drums, Eugene on bass, and Tatiana on vocals. I'm not sure if you noticed the fish on her gauges in her ears.
Well I just seen them live it was the best ever band live the mosh pit was so crazy but fun and nobody got hurt it was great like holy crap her voice live is insane.
She uses deatchocre vocals actually harsh vocals are very versatile in the range of emotions in can bring to the table same as Lorna Shore Pain Remains Trilogy its a beautiful piece of art.
Hey Koality, I'm a fairly new subscriber. Thank you for this reaction, it can be a bit much if you're new to the genre, but the reactions from vocalists especially is always the best. A little back story, this live session was never intended to showcase Tatyana's voice, but rather the drummer Vlad's audition for the band. Thanks again, loved the reaction!
It's always fun watching people react to Tatiana and her vocal switches. To understand why she flips between the two for this song you need to understand what a Pisces is and then read the lyrics and understand that she's talking about being that Pisces fish. The last verse is all about being gutted and cleaned by the "handsome butchers" and the fishes scales being ripped away are green, so she says, "emeralds are ripped away" over and over again to indicate that more and more of the scales are coming off. Her lyrics are often times a lot deeper than people give her credit for, and she apparently just shows up and decides to make it up on the spot with no lengthy lyrical planning like other singers do. Another one where she flips a far bit from her softer "cleans" to her insistent voice is "Teacher, Teacher".
I love to see the reaction to this song! Thanks! That's all Tatiana, she's insanely talented with her voice. You said you liked just the music on it's own - so, if you haven't heard them yet, you should get listening to Tool. Have a great ride, and of course, spiral out!
Oh, and another one (you might even laugh at some of this girl singer's antics) is Spiritbox. Check out Rule of Nines to get started. And watch her (Courtney) as well as Tatiana in their isolated live vocal videos here on YT!
Pisces here also. Yeah, I agree with you as to when she changed her voice the first time I heard it. I thought she was using something to change her voice until I scrolled through the comments to see that it was her doing that. 😮
Since you have gone through such a journey of music styles that you once believed would be outside your comfort zone, I am curious if you would also do a reaction to the power metal sound of Finnish band (with Greek vocalist) Beast in Black's official video for "Blind and Frozen" ? Their male vocalist has a rather unique sound that I would love to hear you react to in this series.
Jinjer's songs can be internally focused or be a commentary on the external world. "Scaled armor belies virgin innocence" - makes more sense. Check out "Pit of Consciousness", live in Kiev, or the one-take "Judgment and Punishment. Well, or anything else they do.
I loved your reaction to this. I'm also an actor by the way. Jinjer are a band from the Ukraine, they're; Tatiana on Vocals, Eugene is the Bassist, Roman on Guitar, Vlad is the Drummer. Songs which I recommend are: 'Perennial' live at Wacken Open Air Festival from 2019, 'Teacher Teacher' the official music video, 'Judgement (and Punishment)' Tatiana's One-Take Vocal version, 'On The Top' and 'Pit of Consciousness' both live in Kiev, 'Vortex' the official music video, 'Home Back' the official music video, this is a personal one for the band as it's about the invasion of Russian troops in the part of the Ukraine which they're from in 2015, obviously before the main Russian invasion a couple of years ago, 'Call Me A Symbol' the official music video, this was done as a commentary on the anniversary of the main Russian invasion of the Ukraine. There are many other great tracks from this excellent band, but these are good ones to start with.
LOL I imagine all the requesters are watching saying "gotcha !!!!" Happens every time. This one in particular, is about the duality of life and the human nature, hence Pices, like the astrological symbol. The band is actually phenomenal though, and Tatianna is a goddess. Vocal range and power for days. Her false fold magic is something that mere mortals can only contemplate. She actually can pitch bend it, which is remarkable in itself because it means she has the false fold growl while she is still engaging her vocal tract underneath, its wicked. Grant from Unleash the Archers is another one that can do it that I know of.
It's very common for people to say "I don't normally like harsh vocals but the way she does it I like". It's a good balance. A good example of her doing this live on stage is Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air. Perennial is about how people get seasonal depression when fall and then winter comes until spring comes back. The technique she's using is false chord growling/screaming. The false chords extend over the actual vocal chords when you swallow to help keep food from going to down the wrong way. Singers who learn this technique learn to control those otherwise involuntary muscles to make sounds. The vocal chords don't have to be used with this technique although they can use them for additional sounds. That enables her to switch back and forth pretty quickly.
Tatiana has one of the most powerful female growls I have ever heard! It's so deep and almost sounds like a man, and I fuckinf love it! Fun fact: The drummer (Vlad) is self taught :)
Nice one! Just a reminder that Diana ankudinova has turned 20 and has a couple of new songs like none you have heard from her. Do Winter Without Snow first. It is a 90;s style music video with Diana acting. The Day You... is an unusual love song. Both are sung in her native language so turn on english captions for your reactions, Thanks and keep having fun!
Two following two metal bands also have women who do growls: * Arch Enemy, with Alissa White-Gluz: th-cam.com/video/dsuhfOD7emE/w-d-xo.html * Spiritbox, with Courtney LaPlante: th-cam.com/video/yht0WDdzGJM/w-d-xo.html And both of these singers are in fact from Canada, so I hoped that piqued your patriotic curiosity enough to check them out!
My favorites are Vortex and Teacher-Teacher. She is bypassing her vocal track to do these guttural sounds. Not my type of music, but Tatiana is a force .
Your face when Tatiana went off on one 😂! Honestly this was the best reaction and talk through your thoughts I’ve heard in a very long while! I really liked that you went through the lyrics, it’s so important with any song with harsh vocals! Yes it was about duality and even better Tatiana is in fact a Pieces, she is also their lyricist! She’s quite a shy person in real life but comes alive on stage, it’s probably her outlet! Bad water, Prologue and Beggars dance are all clean vocals if you would really like to hear her sing that way. As far as how that style of vocals is done I shall give you a snippet from Lolli giving you the idea - it’s to do with using the False vocal folds! 🌹
Yeah since doing this reaction I’ve watched a couple vocal teachers reacting to it and have learned about the false vocal folds! Definitely shocked me, but Tatiana seems cool AF. Love her!
Tati is one of the best, if not the best, female False Cord Screamer; there are others that can do similar screams though usual not at this level. Metalcore singers tend to be very versatile singers, but they are not the only ones that can do it. Examples of female singers that can do harsh vocals/scream: Floor Jansen of Nightwish (yes that Floor, the only Nightwish song she does it is "Yours is an Empty Hope" though in her previous band ReVamp it was more common), Alissa of Arch Enemy (Death Metal band as well as their previous singer Angela), Courtney of Spiritbox, Jessie of Ankor, Mayu of Nemophila, Yukina of Hanabie, Yasmin of Face Yourself (Deathcore Band), Otep from Otep, and The Fairy Voice Mother (vocal coach/reactor, her Jinjer Pisces reaction is top tier and includes an explanation and example of False Cord Screams which you would never expect from her). You have survived Tati/Jinjer so you can handle pretty much any singer/band I have listed with the exception of maybe Yasmin/Face Yourself (just because they are Deathcore and more intense/brutal).
Ok... it's been a hot minute since you've checked out Jinjer... If you're ready for some more, even though harsh vocals aren't really your thing, I think experiencing Perennial (Live at Wacken) will do a couple of things for you.... 1) Prove that yes, she can do those vocal switches live and 2) Show just how talented the rest of the band is as well. There's a reason their videos get millions of views....

You nailed the duality part of the analysis. If you choose to continue down this rabbit hole (and you should), the official video for Teacher, Teacher is a must watch. Perennial live at Wacken is another. Tatiana is an other worldly vocal talent, and the rest of the band is just as good!
Tatiana is producing the harsh vocals using a technique called a false fold growl. It doesn't utilize the vocal chords at all, but instead [as the name suggests] the false vocal chords. This is how she can produce that sound and then switch immediately to clean vocals with no rasp, and no perceivable damage to her vocal chords.
The Fairy Voice Mother does an excellent breakdown of how the technique works in her reaction to this video.
Finally! Somebody gets it! I have seen many reactions to this video and YOU are the first one who gets it! I have subbed to your channel strictly because of that fact! I too, am a Pisces and have understood the artists interpretation/representation of the duality that lives within me. GREAT reaction!
Jinjer is on all my gym playlists they have been one favorite bands for the last 6 years now.
Wallflower is very poetic as well. Beautifully composed and sung. More or less deals with being introverted. Perennial is stellar poetry.
Wallflower is a definite YES. It has an excellent flow.
And I love the bass in it so much.
When the war began they all volunteered. They were told to continue touring and support the cause. She’s swimming upstream trying to find light and love. Then caught and killed by handsome butchers. Fishness? You’re so cute!😊Pretty too.
I think when she switches to her harsh vocals, you can still tell every word she says. There are a LOT of metal bands that I know they are screaming something, but I can't understand a word of it, and I've been in bands all my life basically. I got to see Jinjer live last year and she sounds just the same live as she does on their recordings. She is hypnotizing to listen to and watch and brings you in for the ride whether you wanted to or not!
error 404 words not found. LOL!!! Welcome to Jinjer. Tatiana can take you on one hell of a ride with her vocals.
Tatiana is absolutely amazingly talented.
I love the light and shade of this it adds to the lyrical content.
Great reaction Jenna! I feel very compelled to watch reactions to this song. It is a great source of entertainment for me. I too am not a fan of harsh vocals, but I can appreciate the training and talent needed perform them correctly. Tatiana is amazing.
Seen them in concert 3 times in Dallas tx. Amazing and highly recommend going
Great reaction!! You picked up on so much. Lol, and of course you see why this has made the reaction rounds. I always appreciate when someone can find something they admire even if the sound is not for them. Jinjer is very technically sound and musically and lyrically deep. If you decide to check out more, be sure to listen to "Perennial" live at Wacken, "Judgement and Punishment" one take, and "Vortex"
Welcome to Jinjer. That's all her. Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well.
Welcome to Jinjer! I hope you continue with this amazing band, no two songs are alike and all are amazing! Awesome reaction!
Yeah, you nailed it! Altough their songs always have soft and harsh vocals, this one is clearly divided between both to reflect the duality of Pisces.
Really special band. Try the epic Perenial live at Wacken.
This was my first experience with Jinjer, I just had to see/hear more, never looked back, they're awesome!
That confused look when Tatiana goes in to her growl, that never gets old.
thanks for your efforts to understand the lyrics, the music and the band!
Before I heard Jinjer for the first time 6 years ago, I couldn't do much with harsh vocals...+ then Tati came along with the whole worldclass band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lovely greetings from a german musician and maybe next: JINJER - Wallflower (Official Video) | Napalm Records
next do oktaf kanis - come on, thank you!
Great reaction once again, you pulled out of the stunned moment better than a lot of reactors, with some cogent commentary. Tatiana's harsh vocals do have way more depth than the average artist who performs this way. Her various vocal techniques are all amazing. Some songs of theirs have more or less of the harsh vocals, ranging from all harsh to very little harsh, just used sparingly to punctuate thoughts.
I personally was not a fan of growling and so forth until I found Jinjer. Now I'm a fan of hers at least. And I 100% agree with you that her lyrics are really deep and interesting. You very much understood the duality of Pisces.
If you want to continue to get to know their stuff, I'll second several of the recommendations below. To prove she and the band can do it live (I've seen them perform live, and they are amazing), their performance of Perennial live at Wacken is great, her live solo session of Judgement & Punishment, the Teacher, Teacher music video, I Speak Astronomy... I could go on and on.
Great reaction Jenna 😃 I think still have some surprise to you in Jinjer's music 😜 I suggest Judgement & Punishment and Teacher Teacher to see more styles from Tati.
I love your expression at the end!!
Welcome to the world of Tatiana and Jinjer! They are all amazing and live even better! Also have met them twice and they are the best.
After seeing Jinjer in concert last night, I can say with confidence Tatiana was born to be exactly what she is. She owns that stage when shes performing. Its pretty impressive. I am really impressed with the whole group live. Second to the last stop on their tour and they were all playing at their peak.
You should react to Jinjer's song Home Back. Read the lyrics first, but must watch the official video. Such powerful visuals, and such a powerful song. Tatiana is such a powerful singer!
Woo, made a note, thank you!
Hahahahaha
Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole…… Tatiana and the rest of the band are absolutely amazing…..
I highly recommend you listen to “Wallflower”…… it’ll blow you away how much control she has on her voice in that song 🤘😎🤘
Welcome to Tatiana, very sweet singer and remarkable growler. There is a whole genre of people's face reactions when they first hear this song. She is one of a kind. And she has a beautiful clean voice. You're right about Pisces and duality.
The “Superfecta” of Hard Rock and Metal: Band-Maid / The Warning, and Jinjer / Lovebites -- all pushing their core genres into the next realm! 🤘 🤘 🤘🤘
My simple take regarding her "Satanic" voice: If you were a selfless fish (Pisces) who wanted to see the world but was a bit skittish, and then got into the nets and was hooked by handsome butchers who proceed to rip away your scales and entrails (emeralds)... you'd growl too! So you see, sometimes the lyrics call for extreme vocals in a song.
Tatiana (who's not singing as someone possessed, so you can toss the garlic back into the spaghetti sauce) wrote an incredible story and sang about it the way it deserved to be sung... as with most of her songs. Some vocalist just keep singing in their nice and charming voice even when the lyrics call out desperation.
Not so with Tati. Her extreme expression - a rare ability - adds so much more to a song... especially if you follow the music with the lyrics and how the beautiful cacophony tells the story. Thx, Koality!
So there are some on point voice genre familiar or even voices expert reactors who convey "what just happened?" with amazement which is just awesome all the above with badass insight, and then there's yours 😆 ⚫️ 🕳...., so just had to sub, which I should have earlier today. Insightful feedback on the vocal sounds.
Welcome to Jinjer. They are the best thing in music today. The band are absolute beasts but get overlooked but Tati's insane vocals. I've seen them 2x live and they don't disappoint
I like harsh vocals when used as a contrast and/or when it fits the context (for instance using harsh vocals to represent anger or pain). In the case of "Pisces", it certainly fits the theme of duality. Thanks for another very enjoyable reaction/analysis!
Pisces represent! Loved your reaction to this!
Pisces!! Thank you! 🤍
Tatiana has mastered the false-fold scream, hence the ability to go back and forth between so quickly.
The Jinger vocalist is characterized by those vocal changes, she is a prodigy in that regard since she does it without difficulty
Tati live is absolutely amazing❤ Jinjer in hole are great live band!
Just a little breakdown of how that sound is made! It’s called a “false cord” scream, made using your vestibular folds. It’s very similar to how a dog barks. She’s essentially singing a mixed voice note that would be placed around the barrier between her mouth and sinuses maybe more forward toward her mask and moving the vestibular folds in the way of the air flow. The higher screams at the end are going to be placed more in the nasal passage. It’s done with the same abdominal tension and upper airway relaxation as a fast mixed voice vibrato
You had me at vestibular folds. Hahaha Thank you.
I love “Astronomy”and “Teacher, Teacher.”
Nice!! Finally reaction where there were no stop just before of point of that drop, That makes me feel that this really might be first reaction on this video, Every other reaction videos stopped exactly same spot just before it xD you just gained subscriber. I don't follow those channels anymore who did that, they just feels like they have seen the video before it and do not give a shit about their
subscribers
Tati, is a beast. She is able to do that growl, thanks to having absolute control of her false vocal chords (or folds). We all have them like when you make a fake burb.
Yeah, so I think your subscriber count is going to grow significantly if you dive into the Jinjer rabbit hole. Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air 2019 is a great showcase of the flipping between growl and cleans. Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv is pure metal mayhem. Also, Who is going to be the one? live is just Tatiana telling you how it's going to be. whilst Teacher, Teacher the orignal music video is simply the prettiest of music imaginable. The Vortex music video is very progressive. Retrospection is very hard but loving. Home Back is stark.
Not many reactions notice the Pisces connections, but you totally caught it. Awesome! 🤘😎🤘
Зразу лайк за эту группу... и смотрим) а как там банда играет - просто отвал бошки)
Yes even though she’s screaming like the devil it’s still smooth and chill
I thought it was awesome the first time I heard it for my reaction
Tatiana is such an amazing versatile singer and best of all she is self taught and practiced her voice for many years and she also writes all the lyrics for their songs. And the rest of the band is also amazing musicians. You should check some of their live performances she does this switching on stage as well.
hehehe... it is what it is. This session was apparently to highlight their new drummer... as everyone knew Jinjer and Tatiana already. This song is one on my absolute favorites, any band, any genre, any style.
Tatiana is amazing but for me Courtney Laplante of Spiritbox is on another level. She has a voice of an angel but can also switch back and forth from scream to clean vocals every other word and she even does it mid word flawlessly.
You should check out "Spiritbox Circle With Me Courtney Laplante live one take performance"
Tatiana's growl involves no primary vocal cords, preserving her singing voice from damage. It utilizes false vocal cords with vocal fry on top. She has unbelievable control.
It's one from my favorites songs to watch on reaction channel and it's not even most liked from all Jinjer pieces. Expressions of reactors, when Queen of Growling start making this beautiful sound, are priceless 🤘BTW I'm Nightwish fan😁
Duality!!! Within us all!!
The best description I have for what her growling voice sounds like - a legion of demons she has imprisoned in her ventricular folds...
Tatiana is also a Pisces, and yes, the song is all about the duality. Every member of Jinjer is an exceptional musician. They are Roman on guitar, Vlad on drums, Eugene on bass, and Tatiana on vocals. I'm not sure if you noticed the fish on her gauges in her ears.
I didn't notice that! Love it.
Well I just seen them live it was the best ever band live the mosh pit was so crazy but fun and nobody got hurt it was great like holy crap her voice live is insane.
She uses deatchocre vocals actually harsh vocals are very versatile in the range of emotions in can bring to the table same as Lorna Shore Pain Remains Trilogy its a beautiful piece of art.
Aah, the traditional pause😈🙀🤯😸
Great workout music
Hey Koality, I'm a fairly new subscriber. Thank you for this reaction, it can be a bit much if you're new to the genre, but the reactions from vocalists especially is always the best.
A little back story, this live session was never intended to showcase Tatyana's voice, but rather the drummer Vlad's audition for the band. Thanks again, loved the reaction!
You just heard a goddess and a very talented woman. Watch more you'll fall in love.
It's always fun watching people react to Tatiana and her vocal switches. To understand why she flips between the two for this song you need to understand what a Pisces is and then read the lyrics and understand that she's talking about being that Pisces fish. The last verse is all about being gutted and cleaned by the "handsome butchers" and the fishes scales being ripped away are green, so she says, "emeralds are ripped away" over and over again to indicate that more and more of the scales are coming off. Her lyrics are often times a lot deeper than people give her credit for, and she apparently just shows up and decides to make it up on the spot with no lengthy lyrical planning like other singers do. Another one where she flips a far bit from her softer "cleans" to her insistent voice is "Teacher, Teacher".
I did talk about what a Pisces is, and how I liked what she did with the vocals because it mirrored the lyrics and the essence of a Pisces. 🙂
I love to see the reaction to this song! Thanks! That's all Tatiana, she's insanely talented with her voice. You said you liked just the music on it's own - so, if you haven't heard them yet, you should get listening to Tool. Have a great ride, and of course, spiral out!
Oh, and another one (you might even laugh at some of this girl singer's antics) is Spiritbox. Check out Rule of Nines to get started. And watch her (Courtney) as well as Tatiana in their isolated live vocal videos here on YT!
Little late to the game on this but Tatiana is a force of nature!, you need to check out Perennial live at Wacken to hear the full live experience.
Pisces here also. Yeah, I agree with you as to when she changed her voice the first time I heard it. I thought she was using something to change her voice until I scrolled through the comments to see that it was her doing that. 😮
You did great interpreting the lyrics!
That's her talent - 2 in 1.
Since you have gone through such a journey of music styles that you once believed would be outside your comfort zone, I am curious if you would also do a reaction to the power metal sound of Finnish band (with Greek vocalist) Beast in Black's official video for "Blind and Frozen" ? Their male vocalist has a rather unique sound that I would love to hear you react to in this series.
Jinjer's songs can be internally focused or be a commentary on the external world.
"Scaled armor belies virgin innocence" - makes more sense.
Check out "Pit of Consciousness", live in Kiev, or the one-take "Judgment and Punishment. Well, or anything else they do.
Perennial, outlander and i speak astronomy are all amazing as well ;)
I loved your reaction to this.
I'm also an actor by the way.
Jinjer are a band from the Ukraine, they're; Tatiana on Vocals, Eugene is the Bassist, Roman on Guitar, Vlad is the Drummer.
Songs which I recommend are:
'Perennial' live at Wacken Open Air Festival from 2019,
'Teacher Teacher' the official music video,
'Judgement (and Punishment)' Tatiana's One-Take Vocal version,
'On The Top' and 'Pit of Consciousness' both live in Kiev,
'Vortex' the official music video,
'Home Back' the official music video, this is a personal one for the band as it's about the invasion of Russian troops in the part of the Ukraine which they're from in 2015, obviously before the main Russian invasion a couple of years ago,
'Call Me A Symbol' the official music video, this was done as a commentary on the anniversary of the main Russian invasion of the Ukraine. There are many other great tracks from this excellent band, but these are good ones to start with.
Fellow actor!! Yes! 🤍 Thank you for this, I made a note of all the songs and videos.
@@KoalityReactions Thank you, I'm glad that you saw my comment and it wasn't lost in a sea of all the others.
Tatiana is one of the best period. Also the band face yourself has an amazing Vocalist that is currently top tier in my opinion
LOL I imagine all the requesters are watching saying "gotcha !!!!" Happens every time.
This one in particular, is about the duality of life and the human nature, hence Pices, like the astrological symbol.
The band is actually phenomenal though, and Tatianna is a goddess. Vocal range and power for days. Her false fold magic is something that mere mortals can only contemplate. She actually can pitch bend it, which is remarkable in itself because it means she has the false fold growl while she is still engaging her vocal tract underneath, its wicked. Grant from Unleash the Archers is another one that can do it that I know of.
It's very common for people to say "I don't normally like harsh vocals but the way she does it I like". It's a good balance. A good example of her doing this live on stage is Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air. Perennial is about how people get seasonal depression when fall and then winter comes until spring comes back.
The technique she's using is false chord growling/screaming. The false chords extend over the actual vocal chords when you swallow to help keep food from going to down the wrong way. Singers who learn this technique learn to control those otherwise involuntary muscles to make sounds. The vocal chords don't have to be used with this technique although they can use them for additional sounds. That enables her to switch back and forth pretty quickly.
Tatiana is a Amazing Singer/Growler ...and very pretty the full package
Tatiana has one of the most powerful female growls I have ever heard! It's so deep and almost sounds like a man, and I fuckinf love it!
Fun fact: The drummer (Vlad) is self taught :)
Legit so deep it didn't sound traditionally female. I loved it!
Nice one! Just a reminder that Diana ankudinova has turned 20 and has a couple of new songs like none you have heard from her. Do Winter Without Snow first. It is a 90;s style music video with Diana acting. The Day You... is an unusual love song. Both are sung in her native language so turn on english captions for your reactions, Thanks and keep having fun!
Two following two metal bands also have women who do growls:
* Arch Enemy, with Alissa White-Gluz: th-cam.com/video/dsuhfOD7emE/w-d-xo.html
* Spiritbox, with Courtney LaPlante: th-cam.com/video/yht0WDdzGJM/w-d-xo.html
And both of these singers are in fact from Canada, so I hoped that piqued your patriotic curiosity enough to check them out!
reactions on pisces never get bored)
My favorites are Vortex and Teacher-Teacher. She is bypassing her vocal track to do these guttural sounds. Not my type of music, but Tatiana is a force .
Love it! The lyrics online are incorrect though. It's "Scale armor BELIES virgin innocence", not 'blaze'. See, makes more sense.
Your face when Tatiana went off on one 😂! Honestly this was the best reaction and talk through your thoughts I’ve heard in a very long while! I really liked that you went through the lyrics, it’s so important with any song with harsh vocals! Yes it was about duality and even better Tatiana is in fact a Pieces, she is also their lyricist! She’s quite a shy person in real life but comes alive on stage, it’s probably her outlet!
Bad water, Prologue and Beggars dance are all clean vocals if you would really like to hear her sing that way. As far as how that style of vocals is done I shall give you a snippet from Lolli giving you the idea - it’s to do with using the False vocal folds! 🌹
Yeah since doing this reaction I’ve watched a couple vocal teachers reacting to it and have learned about the false vocal folds!
Definitely shocked me, but Tatiana seems cool AF. Love her!
Tati is one of the best, if not the best, female False Cord Screamer; there are others that can do similar screams though usual not at this level. Metalcore singers tend to be very versatile singers, but they are not the only ones that can do it. Examples of female singers that can do harsh vocals/scream: Floor Jansen of Nightwish (yes that Floor, the only Nightwish song she does it is "Yours is an Empty Hope" though in her previous band ReVamp it was more common), Alissa of Arch Enemy (Death Metal band as well as their previous singer Angela), Courtney of Spiritbox, Jessie of Ankor, Mayu of Nemophila, Yukina of Hanabie, Yasmin of Face Yourself (Deathcore Band), Otep from Otep, and The Fairy Voice Mother (vocal coach/reactor, her Jinjer Pisces reaction is top tier and includes an explanation and example of False Cord Screams which you would never expect from her). You have survived Tati/Jinjer so you can handle pretty much any singer/band I have listed with the exception of maybe Yasmin/Face Yourself (just because they are Deathcore and more intense/brutal).
Ok... it's been a hot minute since you've checked out Jinjer... If you're ready for some more, even though harsh vocals aren't really your thing, I think experiencing Perennial (Live at Wacken) will do a couple of things for you....
1) Prove that yes, she can do those vocal switches live
and
2) Show just how talented the rest of the band is as well.
There's a reason their videos get millions of views....
