Tatiana lures people in with her vocal range, but the rest of the guys keep people coming back for more. There isn’t a weak member of this band. Glad to see someone giving Eugene the attention he deserves. And yes, they ARE sick as hell live. You’re right about metal fans just wanting people to listen to and enjoy the music we love. I for one am surrounded my closed-minded country music fans, so when I get to watch someone experience something I love, it’s deeply personal.
I couldn't have said it better myself Jen. I have been a metalhead for decades. I do listen to other genres as well, but I always come back to metal. Jinjer is a very unique band, because they have a crew that are SO VERY TALENTED, that even with a vocals like Tati, the band isn't overshadowed by her beautiful singing and screams. She is one of a kind, but the band as a whole is one of the best in the business, no questions asked! First time checking out the channel Josh, but I will be here for more. Stay safe and keep up the great work.
Dude, I'm a bassist and literally had the identical reaction the first time I saw this video...I sat there shaking my head and clapping. Eugene is UNREAL. Buy every album Jinjer has...they are all sick. Eugene is exactly the way I play but on a whole new level of disgusting talent.
Perennial (live at wacken) is a must, also Who Is Gonna Be The One (live) is amazing. Outlander is a good look at some older stuff. Can’t go wrong with Jinjer
I agree, perennial live at waken must be next. Now that you know what they are capable you need to watch a raw live performance at the end of their set!
The bassist's name is Eugene Abdiukhanov. He's indeed a bass God, using a lot of slapping and tapping, and very often using it as a melodic instrument. If you check for example "Perennial" (live), you'll notice that in the slow part, the guitarist is leaving the melody to Eugene, and that is beautiful. Same with the intro of "retrospection". Fun fact, he was a judo champion in Ukraine too.
What many people don't know is that after Eugene's tapping part, Roman starts his own tapping part but unfortunately the majority of the camera people miss it or don't film it. : (
Module79L I’m partial to the drums and bass in general, but I feel Roman gets shafted... there’s not one weak member in this band and not one of them is better than the other ! We are witnessing legends, keep grinding #jinjerarmy
He reminded me initially of Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne, and in an interview said that he was a big influence. Ryan's bass tone on LD 50 is as good as it gets.
Eugene is the bass players name, he's been with the band since the beginning. Honestly one of the most underrated bass players in the world. This entire band are some of the greatest individual musicians in the world, but when you put them together you get something like this. Jinjer is the next big thing in metal music. Been following them for awhile now and so glad to see they are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
The bass player's name is Евгений Абдюханов, but we call him Eugene (Abdiukhanov). He is really good at what he does and if you go to the band's youtube page, Jinjer Metal Band, he's done a bunch of bass playthroughs of their songs, some with tab. The drummer and guitarist have also done some playthroughs.
You have so much more to experience with this band. Some really fantastic bass work can be seen in "Who is Gonna Be The One" (live) and "Perennial" (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019).
Watch their video "Who's Gonna Be The One" live. You'll love the bass on that one! After that watch their song "Perennial" live at Wacken, "Judgment and Punishment", "Retrospection", "On the Top" and "Pit of Consciousness". The more you listen to Jinjer, the more you're going to love them.
I'm with you. I just recently discovered this band through Pisces and wow, I'm blown away with how good the entire band is. The drummer, guitarist, and the bassist are all top tier. Tatiana is amazing, no doubt, but so is the band.
So, in case your wondering, every one of Jinjer's musical parts are written by the instrumentalists. The song is almost completely finished before before they hand the music over to Tatiana. She then composes words to what they have written. They have stated this in their interviews. They are utterly amazed on what she can do with their music. So, yeah, these are written very differently then most songs.
Check out their live performance of Judgement & Punishment - love the instrumentals in that even more than Tati's vocals and it is one of their best songs for the lyrics and vocal performances too, and shows off yet another vocal style from Tati. And even if just for your own enjoyment you should check out the bass playthrough with tabs for the song Eugene just released. If you want to analyze it though, non-musicians like myself would probably enjoy your insights. ;) They are definitely influenced by Mudvayne both in the music and vocals - Tati used Dig as the first song she practiced emulating when she was learning to growl, before moving on to Laid to Rest by LoG.
It's always nice to watch a reaction of someone who is musician himself and recognizes high quality music. I enjoyed your reaction and want more. My personal suggestion is I Speak Astronomy because it's epic or Dip A Sail because there are not many reactions to this song and it has super cool death metal style intro.
I went to see them live in November. They are, in fact, incredible. I did a meet and greet with them. Course, being a bassist, Eugene is my hero, so I was all about him. Told him his work was near and dear to me. Tatiana looks over and says, and I quote, "It's always bass players! No one is ever a vocalist. It's the easiest one to play!" To which everyone had a good laugh. I told her I couldn't sing if my life depended on it. Eugene said he didn't really expect to get so much attention. For what little time I got to speak with them, they all seemed light-hearted and genuinely happy to meet with fans. Sadly, they weren't letting anything be brought into the venue from outside because of the COVID shenanigans, so the best I could get was an autographed poster. They did let us take pictures with the group, though. They both sit framed on my wall. Had a good time, they're a fantastic band. 10/10, would recommend. I am absolutely gonna go see them again next time they roll through.
As an old musician myself, Jinjer is the only band in the last two decades I do want to checkout myself, but I hate large venues. Every member seems highly accomplished, and work so well together.
Give the chorus a listen again, pay attention to the drums (especially the snare and kick work) and then get back to me. It took me a few listenings to notice how odd and yet how amazing Vlad's work is. : )
Love your reaction and appreciation for the time changes and musicianship of this tremendous band. By far my favorite band. You should join some of our Jinjer forums on Facebook. Welcome to the Jinjer Family!
Awesome. For us "Jinjer-reaction-viewers" (Jinjer reactions have basically become an own genre now ;) ) it's really nice to see a reaction video that doesn't JUST focus on Tatianas voice. Most other reaction channels mention "the other musicians are awesome too" but then go directly back to Tatiana. Really refreshing to see someone analyzing a little of what the other guys are doing too. Because they are just as awesome as Tatiana is. :)
Just one word: NICE! I arrived with your Pisces reaction and I was very positive surprised how much you were aware of the outstanding musicianship of the 3 guys with a very low distraction by Tatis unbelievable singing skills! Further I know a part of your feelings about discovering them "a second to late" for seeing them live, I found them a week after they had a gig here in Berlin... but meanwhile they were back in last November and it was AWESOME! I saw there are a lot of comments about Eugene and his playthroughs - forget to search - heres a playlist --> th-cam.com/video/ao1GUfLfCqw/w-d-xo.html Eugene Instagram: instagram.com/jinjerbass/ Eugene FB: facebook.com/EugeneJinjer Best regards from Germany, keep on going and stay safe and healthy in this times!
Funny. I also live in Berlin, I also discovered Jinjer a week or two after they played here supporting Soilwork, but then got to see them in November, met the band and spent the entire set in the mosh pit.
What I love about this band is (apart from nailing just about every song) is there seems to be no egos. I mean there's no "I have to get a solo in!!" or anything, everyone is just complementing each other perfectly. Also they seem in interviews to be genuinely humble and nice. Plus the added fan service of putting out bass, drum or guitar playthrough videos. God damn, I love Jinjer.
Sweet reaction bro! Always love to hear someone with musical knowledge react to this amazing band because the really do have MANY subtle things happening that contribute to the whole song, and they carry THE trademark of a good progressive band - you can't digest their song from one listening; you have to take the journey many times to finally be enlightened! Keep digging in the Jinjer rabbit hole my friend - it's bottomless!!
Nice. That's Eugene on the bass, a beast like the rest of the band. Anyways, you should absolutely check out fellow aussie band Ne Obliviscaris 'And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope' (studio record). I think you'll appreciate it as a bass player specifically as well. The song in particular was actually introduced to the curriculum by a professor at the Melbourne conservatory. Cheers!
@@Roguenjosh Gosh, Josh... I thought about No Obliviscaris but I was damn sure you already knew that song, your fellow Aussies and their awesome musicianship! They're absolutely a MUST "React to" experience indeed...
A bunch of people are suggesting checking out “Who’s Going to Be the One” or “Perennial” (live at Wacken), and I can’t disagree-those would be fantastic next tracks to check out. And just as a preemptive heads-up: If you might like to pronounce “Wacken” like the locals, one would say “Vah-ken.” (In German, “W” is pronounced like “V.”) I’m only mentioning that part just since most folks seem to stumble over that one a bit.
the whole band is phenomenal > that's a fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice to see you with your emotional interest of this band. take care and thank's for your authentic reaction; greetings from germany
its a shame Josh, they were here in Adelaide beginning of March. Was a sold out show at Lions Art Factory, amazing live performers so you're correct :)
@@Roguenjosh It's hard to narrow it down to just 3. I fell in love with prod when I saw them live for the first time but that'd probably be #4. I'd say severed, -1, and cradle. They're all great though.
Eugene is greatly influenced by Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne. He said so in an interview with Loudwire, so you're absolutely on point with that comparison. Loved the reaction ❤️
This is the song they opened with on their US tour last year. Pisces was their encore. Eugene is the bass player, and he has posted some play through videos on TH-cam. Roman the guitar player and Vlad the drummer are equally amazing.
Hey mate. Fellow Adelaide boy now living in the UK (11 years). Ex bass player. Saw these Ukranian music masters in London... These guys are something really special. New album is their best work yet. Check out RETROSPECTION if you haven't already. A personal favourite. 👍 Eugene Kostyuk is the bass players name and has said he took great inspiration from Mudvaynes bass players techniques. I was lucky enough to see those guys many years ago.
Glad to see you caught a lot of the parts that make me smile in this song, but something that every musician misses in the very beginning. You can actually hear the bass string rattle against the frets as Eugene just slams against it. I assume he picks his strings like Ryan from mudvayne does, attacking into the string instead of just plucking them. Huge influence I hear. Keep on rocking with these guys, man, youre in for a treat.
Yeah, they were here in Adelaide at the beginning of March - last gig I went to before the plague. They were nothing short of awesome. I'm sewing the patches onto my battle vest right now with a tear in my eye. They played Fowlers - get onto their Face Book page for concert updates in future (post plague). That's the only way I found out about it. It won't surprise you to hear that they got absolutely no publicity in Adelaide - I didn't see a single poster. Typical. Go Crows !
Their song Who Is Gonna Be The One has some bass lines that just blow my mind and I think you will enjoy. Must do the live version man. Keep up the great reactions.
First time here, really liked your honest appreciation for the song... Thumbed up already, but then i hear "Death Blooms is one of my all-time favorite songs." Ok, that's it. I'm subbing.
And yes. Saw them here in Seattle back on November 1st. Phenomenal live. There's video's here on you tube for your perusal. Just type in Jinjer El Corazon.
You asked how you missed Jinjer. It is, in my opinion, because they do not get radio play hardly at all. They do not fit into a genre. They hit Liquid Metal here in the States on satellite, but really only after they blew up on TH-cam. They are their own genre. Word of mouth is how they have spread, so make sure you tell others, so they too can be taken in and blown away.
Great reaction and content!!! For your next one just type in Jinjer and click.....there isn't a single song that I don't love and I am sure you won't either!!!
....lol..... said the same thing when i first saw them 6 months ago...."how have i not heard this before"...amazing something this good can exist without knowing about it for so long...love your reactions cuz....
You should definitely check out Unleash the Archer's album Apex. The band goes through bass player quickly, but their bass player for this album was insane. His name is Nikko Whittworth, and he plays a lot of fifths tuning bass. He also has a really gnarly righthand technique. You can see it in the studio playthrough of Awakening. th-cam.com/video/gqUPGa15Oto/w-d-xo.html
I did a meet and greet and was front row in Melbourne.. unbelievable show.. can I make a suggestion with a twist.. do Perennial, the official music video, and then follow immediately with the live version at Wacken... btw, with the exception of Pisces all their stuff is this technical 👍 If Jinjer had a ballad, it’s Pisces))
Tati is a beast and Jinjer is an awesome band,- we all know that by now. What really makes the difference for me is something most people seem to overlook. Jinjer, - being from the easternmost part of Europe bordering on Russia and what is the beginning of the Middle East,- their traditional music is based around folk tunes and folk dances rooted in a wide variety of off meters. Allmost none of their songs have any kind of straight backbeat to them or in them. Tons of 3/4, 5/4, 7/4, 12/8, 9/8, 6/4, 6/8, 15/8 etc,- but almost no 4/4 or 2/4 anywhere. If you sit down and start tapping your foot to any of their songs and then start counting meters and bars you´ll quickly find that they don´t adher to standard forms of doing rock, pop and metal songs,- yet everything they do is done so smoothly and with such fluency that nobody seems to notice. I have by now watched quite a few Jinjer reactions,- including from various musicians´s channels,- on rare occasions do even the musicians note anything funky going on,- be it Sarah of radiosomewhere or anybody else,.- which to me is very impressively done by Jinjer. Pisces is a very melodically flowing poppy song, but even when they chop things up and go percussive, though heavy and in your face, it´s still as groovy and flowing as a RHCP or Rage Against The Machine song. I´ve heard women growl ,fry and scream before,- it´s just that Tati is an absolute master at it, I´ve heard funky beats before, I´m a born metalhead so the guitar playing is nothing new to me but Jinjer´s combination of it all mated with their uncanny second nature sense of what to the rest of us would be off beat and strange rhythms stands out to me as being unique. And because they´re so god at it and it comes so naturally to them even the musicians don´t notice something that should be screaming in their faces! An awesome band and a high-level display of consumate musicianship. Only serves to heigthen my respect for them.
Yea JINJER's main influence is Mudvayne. Especially the bassist and the singer. I heard this in interviews. So know you know why the bassist is insane if you know Mudvayne.
The high stuff your hearing over the guitar is Eugene. He's tapping on the upper register. At first I thought it was a harmonic interval but that is a bit later in the song. But it's on a track on a laptop that's sitting next to Vlad on the drums. They have several overlay tracks on a laptop that Vlad cues at start of song. A
Your reaction/ really more analysis is absolutely fantastic to watch and there are only a handful of real musicians on other channels who have done Jinjer. Don't feel bad about pausing that's why we come here especially right now since you have just discovered them. Quite excellent commentary and perhaps by the third or fourth video you really should do a live one and get blown away on yet a other level. Thank-you for making my day.
Really enjoyed your video reaction. It makes a big difference when someone has some background in music, whether from playing an instrument themselves or just having spent years surrounding themselves with different musical styles. I agree about the positivity and there is something really fun about seeing someone else discovering music that you feel passionate about yourself. Glad you are enjoying Jinjer. If you want to see Eugene doing some more of that melodic or clean style on the bass while Tatiana is singing, the live version of Perennial at Wacken is a good listen. For a heavy bass line with amazing riffs Judgement and Punishment is brilliant but honestly, you could probably pull a Jinjer song out of a hat and thoroughly enjoy it.
Jinjer are a progressive metal band from Ukraine: Tatiana Shmailyuk - vocals Roman Ibramkhalilov - guitars Vladislav Ulasevich - drummer Eugene Abdiukhanov - bass
You're gonna get a LOT of people requesting "Who Is Gonna Be The One"...that's a great song...but I would strongly urge you to do either "I Speak Astronomy" or "Bad Water"...both are amazing
You're right about the flow of the song even with all the changes within it. Theres bands out there with tons of changes but it doesn't flow. The thing that sets you apart is making is work and flow all together. My favorite band ERRA did that for 2 albums before they lost a couple members and werent the same anymore. You should check out ERRA-Hybrid Earth simply because it has a music video too but its also a great song with my favorite guitar solo in any song. Its tasty.
A huge inspiration for them is Guano Apes. I'd recommend Rain or Open Your Eyes from them. You'll hear a lot of what Jinjer pulled from them in those songs, primarily the latter. And yes, that bassist is amazingly underrated.
Second reaction from your channel after "Pisces" and you got a subscriber as soon as you were caught by the amazing bass line. I like your technical comments, sound never pushing to be sapient. In the previous reaction of yours I asked you to give OTEP a try and I honestly hope you do so, now more than ever. After so many reactions watched just for fun yours are a just fresh air for me as a music lover who seeks for something more, I already follow a few reaction channels where attentions are all focused on vocals and another channel focused on the musicianship was really missing. Thanks so much, Josh. and good luck with those "numbers"... I really hope it takes off soon!
@@Roguenjosh Cool! In that case, if the list is long I might have time enough to let you know which song you should try first so you won't waste any time searching on your own. Take care Josh... and thanks for the awesome news!
So glad you enjoyed it. You're going down the rabbit hole, but apparently I missed that train by about 7 months... Pretty sure you found them 3 months before I found Napalm, and now I've found you, so hey from over in Sydney
Hey man great reaction video. If you want to Check out who is gonna be the one (live) by jinjer It is awesome and if you like Technical playing then Awakening by Unleash the archers. Amazing musicains.
My 2019 song of the year. Tremendous. All 4 of them are excellent at what they do, & are all pulling in the same direction to the betterment of each song imho. Playing a bit of bass myself as a hobby, I have a soft spot for Eugene tho- I can feel he appreciates Jaco as much as Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne tho, & I think that's why I love what he does so much. #WideRangingInfluencesFTW ;)
Loving the videos mate, so much better hearing someone who has something meaningful or knowledgeable to say about the music! If you want some local bands to check out, there's heaps of Aussie talent in the metal scene. Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope. Masterclass in composition. Caligula's Horse - Bloom/Marigold, or Graves if you really want an epic of a song. Reliqa - The Halfway Point. Much smaller band but so deserving of more recognition, they've got a fair bit of spoken/rap in their music. Ebonivory - Explosions After Dark, or Patting The Black Dog. Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name. Not Aussie, but such a banger and the video is too good.
With your technical understanding I can't wait til you get into some Nightwish! And as a bassist I think you'd appreciate a band called Animals as Leaders as well
Nice reaction. Keep listen to Jinjer, You will be amazed every time! By the way, Eugene, the bass player, mentioned that he is influensed by... Mudvayne bass player Ryan Martinie So you were right on point, when you said that they remind you Mudvayne ;)
I love that you put focus on the band and not just her, and that all your reactions aren't over exaggerated. Also love your input Keep on going If you love bands playing with timing, you should check out the band Intronaut, especially their songs Cubensis or Speaking of Orbs are among my favorits
Loved your reaction! Extremely talented band and live they are even better. Dig deep that it just keeps geting better and....suprising! "Perennial" live at Wacken and "Who´s Gonna Be The One" live are good follow ups. For full overkill heavy rampage try "Outlander" or "Sit, Stay, Roll Over".
i missed them to bro lol because i gave up on metal (i'm 40 old school) then heard of them a few days ago. they have music all the way from 2011 so we have enough to listen to lol
Great reaction and even better jumper @ go Crows! ;) Try "Infected Rain - Lure" or "Orphan Soul" next pls. It´s also from Napalm Records and a Band from Moldova. The Singer Lena is just so awesome....... Greez from Germany mate
When we playing bass guitar since long time in metal, all is possible to play....right ? But...Jinger is same as Architecs...a "new" technical playing lesson, and.. ahh, not easy to play, but...very very interesting because...wouaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!! Thx for your reaction & Salute from France...
Tatiana lures people in with her vocal range, but the rest of the guys keep people coming back for more. There isn’t a weak member of this band. Glad to see someone giving Eugene the attention he deserves. And yes, they ARE sick as hell live.
You’re right about metal fans just wanting people to listen to and enjoy the music we love. I for one am surrounded my closed-minded country music fans, so when I get to watch someone experience something I love, it’s deeply personal.
Thanks so much Jen, it means a lot to know someone has watched through to my little talk at the end, we have an amazing community
Well spoken, Jen!
I couldn't have said it better myself Jen. I have been a metalhead for decades. I do listen to other genres as well, but I always come back to metal. Jinjer is a very unique band, because they have a crew that are SO VERY TALENTED, that even with a vocals like Tati, the band isn't overshadowed by her beautiful singing and screams.

Perennial live at Wacken is without a doubt their best live performance to date! Who is gonna be the one has to come right after that!
100% Perennial next then I would say I Speak Astronomy
You need to see Eugene's bass playthroughs thereall over he is a beast
for example th-cam.com/video/3vPA1jH2za4/w-d-xo.html
Another example th-cam.com/video/2Dx3J29OuaM/w-d-xo.html
I'm literally taking notes of Eugene's tutorial lol..
Agreed! He fucking killed his play through of retrospection
I LOVE watching people experience Jinjer and falling in love like I did!

Might be better to actually do the official video on Judgement & Punishment first since it bascily explains the song a lot better and is kickass :)

@Pylyp Maliuta це той Донбас, який кормив всю Україну?
Thank you sooo much for showing love to Eugene!! So many people overlook him
I went to see them live in November. They are, in fact, incredible. I did a meet and greet with them. Course, being a bassist, Eugene is my hero, so I was all about him.

Best regards from Germany, keep on going and stay safe and healthy in this times!
Funny. I also live in Berlin, I also discovered Jinjer a week or two after they played here supporting Soilwork, but then got to see them in November, met the band and spent the entire set in the mosh pit.
What I love about this band is (apart from nailing just about every song) is there seems to be no egos. I mean there's no "I have to get a solo in!!" or anything, everyone is just complementing each other perfectly. Also they seem in interviews to be genuinely humble and nice. Plus the added fan service of putting out bass, drum or guitar playthrough videos. God damn, I love Jinjer.
Sweet reaction bro! Always love to hear someone with musical knowledge react to this amazing band because the really do have MANY subtle things happening that contribute to the whole song, and they carry THE trademark of a good progressive band - you can't digest their song from one listening; you have to take the journey many times to finally be enlightened! Keep digging in the Jinjer rabbit hole my friend - it's bottomless!!
Nice. That's Eugene on the bass, a beast like the rest of the band.
Anyways, you should absolutely check out fellow aussie band Ne Obliviscaris 'And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope' (studio record). I think you'll appreciate it as a bass player specifically as well. The song in particular was actually introduced to the curriculum by a professor at the Melbourne conservatory. Cheers!
Sweet thanks for the recommendation!
Yes, that band (Ne Obliviscaris...) has amazing playing skills its very interesting for any musician to hear them.
@@Roguenjosh Gosh, Josh... I thought about No Obliviscaris but I was damn sure you already knew that song, your fellow Aussies and their awesome musicianship!
They're absolutely a MUST "React to" experience indeed...
Best band I’ve seen live, insane amount of talent.
finally, someone that appreciated every part of this song! SUBSCRIBED my friend, keep it up!
Thanks Zinny!
A bunch of people are suggesting checking out “Who’s Going to Be the One” or “Perennial” (live at Wacken), and I can’t disagree-those would be fantastic next tracks to check out.
And just as a preemptive heads-up: If you might like to pronounce “Wacken” like the locals, one would say “Vah-ken.” (In German, “W” is pronounced like “V.”) I’m only mentioning that part just since most folks seem to stumble over that one a bit.
the whole band is phenomenal > that's a fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice to see you with your emotional interest of this band.
take care and thank's for your authentic reaction;
greetings from germany
its a shame Josh, they were here in Adelaide beginning of March. Was a sold out show at Lions Art Factory, amazing live performers so you're correct :)
Until Beth roars introduced me to Jinjer I hadn't loved metal since Mudvayne. I can't get enough of this band.
What’s your favourite mudvayne album?
@@Roguenjosh L.D.50 hands down.
Adam Brandes SAME, 3 best songs from LD50?
@@Roguenjosh It's hard to narrow it down to just 3. I fell in love with prod when I saw them live for the first time but that'd probably be #4. I'd say severed, -1, and cradle. They're all great though.
Adam Brandes yeah I agree with that, death blooms is my 1, and the rest of the album is equal 2nd hahaha
Eugene is greatly influenced by Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne. He said so in an interview with Loudwire, so you're absolutely on point with that comparison. Loved the reaction ❤️
This is the song they opened with on their US tour last year. Pisces was their encore. Eugene is the bass player, and he has posted some play through videos on TH-cam. Roman the guitar player and Vlad the drummer are equally amazing.
I need to go find these play through S! Thanks for watching!
I've seen them live 3 times and I was supposed to seem them twice last week before all Hell broke loose. They are so good live.
Hey mate. Fellow Adelaide boy now living in the UK (11 years). Ex bass player. Saw these Ukranian music masters in London... These guys are something really special.
New album is their best work yet.
Check out RETROSPECTION if you haven't already. A personal favourite. 👍
Eugene Kostyuk is the bass players name and has said he took great inspiration from Mudvaynes bass players techniques. I was lucky enough to see those guys many years ago.
Imagine playing bass with this drummer... ooooh!
Glad to see you caught a lot of the parts that make me smile in this song, but something that every musician misses in the very beginning. You can actually hear the bass string rattle against the frets as Eugene just slams against it. I assume he picks his strings like Ryan from mudvayne does, attacking into the string instead of just plucking them. Huge influence I hear. Keep on rocking with these guys, man, youre in for a treat.
Yeah, they were here in Adelaide at the beginning of March - last gig I went to before the plague. They were nothing short of awesome. I'm sewing the patches onto my battle vest right now with a tear in my eye. They played Fowlers - get onto their Face Book page for concert updates in future (post plague). That's the only way I found out about it. It won't surprise you to hear that they got absolutely no publicity in Adelaide - I didn't see a single poster. Typical. Go Crows !
That is one of the best things you can do with your ears.
Their song Who Is Gonna Be The One has some bass lines that just blow my mind and I think you will enjoy. Must do the live version man. Keep up the great reactions.
Great reaction and being from a musicians pov was even better. Keep reacting to Jinjer pls!!!
First time here, really liked your honest appreciation for the song... Thumbed up already, but then i hear "Death Blooms is one of my all-time favorite songs." Ok, that's it. I'm subbing.
It's good to see a more technical and respectful reaction after the "botox woman" fiasco on the other channel which is better to forget XD
what i love about the drummer vlad, is that he follows the bass player eugene
You had me at Mudvayne!! Great reaction!
And yes. Saw them here in Seattle back on November 1st. Phenomenal live. There's video's here on you tube for your perusal. Just type in Jinjer El Corazon.
You asked how you missed Jinjer. It is, in my opinion, because they do not get radio play hardly at all. They do not fit into a genre. They hit Liquid Metal here in the States on satellite, but really only after they blew up on TH-cam. They are their own genre. Word of mouth is how they have spread, so make sure you tell others, so they too can be taken in and blown away.
I’m telling people about them now that’s for sure
Great reaction and content!!! For your next one just type in Jinjer and click.....there isn't a single song that I don't love and I am sure you won't either!!!
Jinjer - Perennial live at Wacken 2019
The singer learned to scream off Mudvayne's Dig btw! Was a big inspiration for her
Hell yeah!!
....lol..... said the same thing when i first saw them 6 months ago...."how have i not heard this before"...amazing something this good can exist without knowing about it for so long...love your reactions cuz....
You should definitely check out Unleash the Archer's album Apex. The band goes through bass player quickly, but their bass player for this album was insane. His name is Nikko Whittworth, and he plays a lot of fifths tuning bass. He also has a really gnarly righthand technique. You can see it in the studio playthrough of Awakening. th-cam.com/video/gqUPGa15Oto/w-d-xo.html
I did a meet and greet and was front row in Melbourne.. unbelievable show.. can I make a suggestion with a twist.. do Perennial, the official music video, and then follow immediately with the live version at Wacken... btw, with the exception of Pisces all their stuff is this technical 👍 If Jinjer had a ballad, it’s Pisces))
I was so sad I missed out on tickets to that show :(
Jinjer's first ballad was Bad Bad Water. I thinks it's the only song they do where Tati sings clean the whole song.
funny enough i saw them live at Lion Arts Factory in March before the pandemic. they are amazing live
Tati is a beast and Jinjer is an awesome band,- we all know that by now.
What really makes the difference for me is something most people seem to overlook.
Jinjer, - being from the easternmost part of Europe bordering on Russia and what is the beginning of the Middle East,- their traditional music is based around folk tunes and folk dances rooted in a wide variety of off meters.
Allmost none of their songs have any kind of straight backbeat to them or in them.
Tons of 3/4, 5/4, 7/4, 12/8, 9/8, 6/4, 6/8, 15/8 etc,- but almost no 4/4 or 2/4 anywhere.
If you sit down and start tapping your foot to any of their songs and then start counting meters and bars you´ll quickly find that they don´t adher to standard forms of doing rock, pop and metal songs,- yet everything they do is done so smoothly and with such fluency that nobody seems to notice.
I have by now watched quite a few Jinjer reactions,- including from various musicians´s channels,- on rare occasions do even the musicians note anything funky going on,- be it Sarah of radiosomewhere or anybody else,.- which to me is very impressively done by Jinjer.
Pisces is a very melodically flowing poppy song, but even when they chop things up and go percussive, though heavy and in your face, it´s still as groovy and flowing as a RHCP or Rage Against The Machine song.
I´ve heard women growl ,fry and scream before,- it´s just that Tati is an absolute master at it, I´ve heard funky beats before, I´m a born metalhead so the guitar playing is nothing new to me but Jinjer´s combination of it all mated with their uncanny second nature sense of what to the rest of us would be off beat and strange rhythms stands out to me as being unique.
And because they´re so god at it and it comes so naturally to them even the musicians don´t notice something that should be screaming in their faces!
An awesome band and a high-level display of consumate musicianship.
Only serves to heigthen my respect for them.
You have to listen to:
Who is gonna be the one live
Perennial live
Outlander
Retrospection
You will love it.
Johnny Skov This☝️☝️☝️☝️💪
You will never hear the same sound from them twice! Great reaction!
Went to both their shows in Brissy and it was absolutely epic on both occasions
If you like the use of silence, take a listen to I Speak Astronomy by Jinjer, plus it has the best ending of any of their songs.
Yea JINJER's main influence is Mudvayne. Especially the bassist and the singer. I heard this in interviews. So know you know why the bassist is insane if you know Mudvayne.
The high stuff your hearing over the guitar is Eugene. He's tapping on the upper register. At first I thought it was a harmonic interval but that is a bit later in the song. But it's on a track on a laptop that's sitting next to Vlad on the drums. They have several overlay tracks on a laptop that Vlad cues at start of song. A
Ah ha! I knew it!!
Your reaction/ really more analysis is absolutely fantastic to watch and there are only a handful of real musicians on other channels who have done Jinjer. Don't feel bad about pausing that's why we come here especially right now since you have just discovered them. Quite excellent commentary and perhaps by the third or fourth video you really should do a live one and get blown away on yet a other level. Thank-you for making my day.
You’re an absolute legend thank you for the kind words
Really enjoyed your video reaction. It makes a big difference when someone has some background in music, whether from playing an instrument themselves or just having spent years surrounding themselves with different musical styles. I agree about the positivity and there is something really fun about seeing someone else discovering music that you feel passionate about yourself. Glad you are enjoying Jinjer. If you want to see Eugene doing some more of that melodic or clean style on the bass while Tatiana is singing, the live version of Perennial at Wacken is a good listen. For a heavy bass line with amazing riffs Judgement and Punishment is brilliant but honestly, you could probably pull a Jinjer song out of a hat and thoroughly enjoy it.
Ooh a few people have said that live Perennial is good... I might line it up as my next Jinjer song
See Jeffery comments for bassist Eugene. You're officially on the train.
Another couple technical songs from Jinjer you should check out are:
I Speak Astronomy Official Video
Ape Official Video
Jinjer are a progressive metal band from Ukraine:
Tatiana Shmailyuk - vocals
Roman Ibramkhalilov - guitars
Vladislav Ulasevich - drummer
Eugene Abdiukhanov - bass
You're gonna get a LOT of people requesting "Who Is Gonna Be The One"...that's a great song...but I would strongly urge you to do either "I Speak Astronomy" or "Bad Water"...both are amazing
Jinjervitis strikes again! They've ruined everything else for me 😜😂❤
Judgement and punishment live in Melbourne 2020. Huge reggae vibe. Totally different then these first two you’ve done.
Just when you think it's over... MOSH PIT!
You're right about the flow of the song even with all the changes within it. Theres bands out there with tons of changes but it doesn't flow. The thing that sets you apart is making is work and flow all together. My favorite band ERRA did that for 2 albums before they lost a couple members and werent the same anymore. You should check out ERRA-Hybrid Earth simply because it has a music video too but its also a great song with my favorite guitar solo in any song. Its tasty.
They are sick live , im somewhere in that video jumping and screaming, half of that video is from a show i went :D just crazy
They’re even better live.
🤘🏻♥️🔥🎃🔥♥️🤘🏻
Whos Gonna Be The One has some sick basslines
A huge inspiration for them is Guano Apes. I'd recommend Rain or Open Your Eyes from them. You'll hear a lot of what Jinjer pulled from them in those songs, primarily the latter.
And yes, that bassist is amazingly underrated.
Love your channel! Keep it up brother!
Second reaction from your channel after "Pisces" and you got a subscriber as soon as you were caught by the amazing bass line. I like your technical comments, sound never pushing to be sapient. In the previous reaction of yours I asked you to give OTEP a try and I honestly hope you do so, now more than ever.
After so many reactions watched just for fun yours are a just fresh air for me as a music lover who seeks for something more, I already follow a few reaction channels where attentions are all focused on vocals and another channel focused on the musicianship was really missing. Thanks so much, Josh. and good luck with those "numbers"... I really hope it takes off soon!
Thank you so much! I’ll add OTEP to the list (but heads up, the list is long!)
@@Roguenjosh Cool! In that case, if the list is long I might have time enough to let you know which song you should try first so you won't waste any time searching on your own.
Take care Josh... and thanks for the awesome news!
One of the best jinjer reactions ive watched definitely had to sub to watch you enjoy your jinjer journey lol
Thanks heaps Austin! I have a list of upcoming songs to watch and there’s a lot of Jinjer haha
So glad you enjoyed it. You're going down the rabbit hole, but apparently I missed that train by about 7 months... Pretty sure you found them 3 months before I found Napalm, and now I've found you, so hey from over in Sydney
It takes all four of them to make Jinjer epic. All Hail Queen Tati!
Hey man great reaction video. If you want to Check out who is gonna be the one (live) by jinjer It is awesome and if you like Technical playing then Awakening by Unleash the archers. Amazing musicains.
Jinjer- Retrospection Bass Playthrough is amazing. FYI.
My 2019 song of the year. Tremendous.
All 4 of them are excellent at what they do, & are all pulling in the same direction to the betterment of each song imho. Playing a bit of bass myself as a hobby, I have a soft spot for Eugene tho- I can feel he appreciates Jaco as much as Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne tho, & I think that's why I love what he does so much. #WideRangingInfluencesFTW ;)
this song is my lacmus test for reaction channels. its so complex, so many details to mention or miss. GJ
They are sick live, you are right about that! IO love Teacher, teacher! but my favorite of all time is definitely Perennial!
Loving the videos mate, so much better hearing someone who has something meaningful or knowledgeable to say about the music! If you want some local bands to check out, there's heaps of Aussie talent in the metal scene.
Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope. Masterclass in composition.
Caligula's Horse - Bloom/Marigold, or Graves if you really want an epic of a song.
Reliqa - The Halfway Point. Much smaller band but so deserving of more recognition, they've got a fair bit of spoken/rap in their music.
Ebonivory - Explosions After Dark, or Patting The Black Dog.
Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name. Not Aussie, but such a banger and the video is too good.
Hell yes! Thanks Adrian!
Where have you been hiding man, you missed the opportuniy.. they are music gods
THEY ARE SO GOOD
With your technical understanding I can't wait til you get into some Nightwish! And as a bassist I think you'd appreciate a band called Animals as Leaders as well
Jinjer and Mudvayne just so happen to be my two favorite metal bands lol.
Nice reaction. Keep listen to Jinjer, You will be amazed every time!
By the way, Eugene, the bass player, mentioned that he is influensed by... Mudvayne bass player Ryan Martinie
So you were right on point, when you said that they remind you Mudvayne ;)
Tatiana sings this song live exactly like your hearing it with the seemless vocal transitions.
I love that you put focus on the band and not just her, and that all your reactions aren't over exaggerated. Also love your input
Keep on going
If you love bands playing with timing, you should check out the band Intronaut, especially their songs Cubensis or Speaking of Orbs are among my favorits
Thanks so much for the kind words and suggestions!
Loved your reaction! Extremely talented band and live they are even better. Dig deep that it just keeps geting better and....suprising! "Perennial" live at Wacken and "Who´s Gonna Be The One" live are good follow ups. For full overkill heavy rampage try "Outlander" or "Sit, Stay, Roll Over".
When it breaks down into the mellow section it's an octave tap.
i missed them to bro lol because i gave up on metal (i'm 40 old school) then heard of them a few days ago. they have music all the way from 2011 so we have enough to listen to lol
if you haven't this one's a bangger
th-cam.com/video/T8QLjAPUwmE/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction and even better jumper @ go Crows! ;)
Try "Infected Rain - Lure" or "Orphan Soul" next pls. It´s also from Napalm Records and a Band from Moldova. The Singer Lena is just so awesome.......
Greez from Germany mate
When we playing bass guitar since long time in metal, all is possible to play....right ?
But...Jinger is same as Architecs...a "new" technical playing lesson, and.. ahh, not easy to play, but...very very interesting because...wouaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!
Thx for your reaction & Salute from France...
Salute!
