      @@PrymalChaos Hes also the only "trained" one in the group. Tatiana has had some vocal coaching along the way but basically developed her own way of singing that was healthy to her. Eugene the bassist took 1 lesson, then watched videos of bassists he looked up to and taught himself. Pretty sure Roman the guitarist is self taught as well. That's just what happens when you've played 200+ shows a year for the last 10 years, everyone kind of melds as one symphonic machine.

      i've been a huge fan of this band for 3+ years now, and to this very second, the fact that every member essentially is self taught/practiced and creates all this music naturally with only their knowledge and passion blows my fucking mind with every thought and listen... Jinjer will always be a huge inspiration to me for that reason

      I did not know that they're mostly self taught, but that really helps explain their unique style. In the video you commented on the drums not following a standard kick-snare pattern, which is what you learn in drum lessons. If you aren't told to use a standard style you have a clean slate to develop your own. Seems like they all did that.

    This song is kind of a musical gem. Most people don't notice that it doesn't have a chorus, it's all verses and none of them is repeated again in the song. However, after hearing it many times you start noticing that each part has it's own hook. Very clever song writing from Vlad and Roman. : )

    I've been listening to Jinjer for 3 years, I come from a different direction myself as a musician, soul, funk, rock, acid jazz, but Jinjer has done it to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! sometimes I'm still speechless today ...
    i have been interested in music for 50 years, but one of the bands that is very special to me is Jinjer. They have been following their own style for 10 years, that's it .....................
    the musicality of every single musician is overwhelming, the lyrics are also something special, especially in this musical genre, although for me Jinjer does JINJER MUSIC ...

    Welcome to Jinjer. Tatiana is a vocal goddess and one of the best front women in the business. You are right about the band; the drummer had training but the others have put in their 10,000 hours. Their musicianship is second to none.

    This is the first video from your channel I've seen. The best thing about jinjer is the fact that the more you listen the more you tend to hear, and it just makes you appreciate it even more. A lot of metal bands do that for me though, I suppose it all depends on what you're in to in the first place. I'm 41 now and I've been a metalhead as long as I can recall (lucky to come up in the 80s and have young parents who always had a plethora of tunes rocking the house). I'm going to have to peruse your channel and see if there are some reactions to Gojira. As far as drums are concerned Mario Duplantier (Gojira) and Vlad from Jinjer are the best in metal at the moment. This is of course just one middle class American housewife's opinion but I'm continually blown away by the level of talent and skill from those 2.

    I watched un-subbed but quickly rectified the issue after watching.
    I don't know your background, but I sense that you are an accomplished musician that knows arrangements and composition as well as you know the back of your hand. I truly enjoy watching a reactor that gets down into the specifics and knows what to point out and how to explain it.
    Imo, you were definitely right on track about how the arrangement flowed. The lyrics are about someone's heavy thoughts and how the thoughts affect him, and the music reflects the lyrics perfectly.
    Through the entire song, we can see chaos ensuing, with cracks in the ceiling, objects floating and flying about. These things represent the man's mind being overloaded and losing control.
    I take it that the "Vortex", once we see outside the window, is symbolic of the man's mind and how it takes everything in at a rapid pace and very chaotically. Then at the end we enter his "mind" and witness his thoughts as a whirling monster that is out of control.
    A very visual representation of how a psychopath might be created.
    Just my take on the song and video representation. Probably way off.

      The beautiful thing about music videos is that they often allow us re-evaluate our impression of the song in a personal way. They often use esoteric imagery rather than a strict narrative, and what's great about that is, 10 different people will have 10 different experiences.
      This clip is a perfect representation of that. You can interpret it a bunch of different ways, but regardless it will colour your impression of the song. Typically that serves to strengthen the bond you have with the music. The importance of music videos is often really understated.

    The only member of the band that was formally trained was the drummer Vlad, who was trained as a pianist. Ukraine is a hard place to make it as a musician so only the best of the best rose to the top. There is no predictable formula to Jinjer songs. Pisces is one of their simplest songs in a lot of ways. They'll always keep you guessing. :) Their genre is hard to pin down and even their interview answers vary depending on how they feel like answering questions on any given day. I think progressive metal is the most common definition among fans. You should definitely check out their concert videos as well. Perennial live at Wacken is a common followup to see what they do on stage. On The Top live in Kiev has a very dynamic video and is a great song. Who Is Gonna Be The One is a basic band on stage video, but has a great performance and the composition and musicianship are awesome, especially the dueling guitar and bass. Subbed. Cheers!

    🔥Welcome to (more) Jinjer! I just found your channel, great reaction, I really like your analysis, subbed! Thank you for bringing the fantastic genre twisting music of Jinjer to more people! I love their energy, how tight they are, how down to earth they are, the heaviness mixed with complexity and groove, beautiful singing and beautiful growling and especially Tatiana's lyrics!
    The first time I heard Pisces in 2020 I hadn't liked any metal with growling and it took me a few listens to start liking it, but now Tatiana is my favorite vocalist and Jinjer my favorite band (Pisces has been my wakeup alarm for the past year or so and I still love it more every time I hear it).
    TLDR: skip to the last paragraph 😂
    Sorry for the very long comment, I just love Jinjer too much and love seeing people discover (and usually fall in love with) them and each of their songs!
    My three favorite comments about Jinjer that I've seen, "terrifying levels of talent", "I hate it when a Jinjer song ends", and "that was more unexpected than my first child" 🤣
    I love the story of Tatiana getting interested in learning to growl. In her own words, "I was inspired by Otep (Shamaya). When I was 15, my friend showed me a record of House of Secrets. I was like, ‘That dude - his voice is so powerful. And he said, ‘Oh come on Tatiana, that’s actually a woman!’ I was like, ‘What?’ She blew my mind. That was the time, the moment when I realized I wanted to shock people just like her. I just had the feeling or the intuition, like an extra sense that this is what I’m made to do.”
    The four current members have essentially no musical training except for Vlad the drummer who studied classical piano. They've been a tour heavy band, on the road almost nonstop from 2013 to 2020, hard work that has made them fantastic live and they make it look effortless. For most of their songs, the three guys write most of the instrument music, then Tatiana writes most of the lyrics and melodies (she gets tons of well deserved credit for her vocal and stage performance abilities, but maybe not quite enough for her lyrical and musical composition abilities). Roman the guitarist has written a lot of the instrument music in the past, so he's a huge part of the beautiful sound of Jinjer, but Vlad the drummer (who also plays guitar and piano, but so far not in most Jinjer songs - I think he played piano in lainnereP) has been writing more of it and wrote nine of the eleven songs for the newest album Wallflowers, first four videos are out for Vortex (as you saw here), Mediator (I'll watch your reaction to that next), Wallflower and Disclosure! Eugene composes some - he wrote the instrument music for one song on Wallflowers and a few songs on other albums, and I know that apart from his amazing work on the bass, he adds riffs and has written lyrics for a few Jinjer songs.
    The band (all members have been Ukrainian, with Russian their first language) started in eastern Ukraine in 2009 as a group of three (then five) with none of the current members (they consider the official start of the band when Tatiana replaced the male vocalist and Roman joined as lead guitar 2009/2010), Vlad is the fifth drummer (joined in 2016) and it's been a group of four since 2015 (though they consider their road sound engineer Sasha to be a fifth member). I think they're still friends with all the former members and you can see former Jinjer guitarist turned actor, Dmitry Oksen, on guitar in older Jinjer videos, and acting as an interrogator in their latest video, Disclosure!
    One of the things I love most about Jinjer is the messages in Tatiana's lyrics and the way she combines her beautiful growling and beautiful singing with Jinjer's fantastic instrumentals to be so powerful for expressing the anger and pain in those messages: the anti-war message in Home Back, the anti-greed in On The Top, Mediator and No Hoard Of Value (also the horror of the coal mining industry in their home Ukraine), the protest song Who Is Gonna Be The One, the anti-fascism of Sit Stay Roll Over, the anger at people being narrow minded in Teacher Teacher and Judgment & Punishment, the struggles with mental health in Pit Of Consciousness, Vortex, Wallflower and Perennial, the giving voice to mother nature angry at humanity for letting capitalism destroy her in a bunch of songs like Ape, The Prophecy, Cloud Factory, Noah, Outlander, Dip A Sail and Bad Water. Other favorites are I Speak Astronomy, Retrospection, Words of Wisdom, Just Another, Captain Clock, Scissors, Exposed As A Liar, I Want It I'll Get It, A Plus Or A Minus, When Two Empires Collide, lainnereP, Prologue and Beggar's Dance (those last two are short album bookends that might do well together in one reaction).
    I haven't found a Jinjer song I don't love, so I think you can't go wrong if you choose any of them, but a few good choices might be Perennial (I see you reacted to the fantastic live at Wacken performance, but the official video is also a must-see), Teacher Teacher (official), Judgement & Punishment (official and/or Tatiana's one take performance, again both must-see), Pit of Consciousness (official and/or live in Kiev/Kyiv, a third where both are absolutely must-see) or the heartwrenching plea against war in Home Back (official video). Note that because Jinjer has so many great official videos and so many astounding live performance videos, no Jinjer fan will ever mind if you react to a second video for a Jinjer song you've already heard, so whichever songs you choose, whatever pace you like: hope you'll keep trying more Jinjer and enjoy! ❤🖤🤘

Start with her video Running With The Wolves and then check out two songs she did at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize concert, Runaway and Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1).

    @jen.g. 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well, you’ve mentioned you listened to Jinjer, so I thought you were quite familiar with them, otherwise I’d have recommended them already. They don’t fall into specific subgenre. There’s definitely some progressive elements in Jinjer. Given you mentioned Haken, I’d be remiss if I didn’t recommend Leprous. They’re prog icons. Both Jinjer and Leprous (and Lorna Shore) are in my top 10 current bands. It’s hard to suggest a Leprous song though since you said you prefer reacting to music videos. “Nighttime Disguise” is phenomenal, but the video is a compilation of footage from recording. If you’re open to a drum playthrough, their drummer Baard performing “The Sky is Red” (which is my favorite song of theirs) is absolute perfection.

    • @PrymalChaos
      @PrymalChaos  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh it doesn't have to be music video.. a studio video or even a lyric video are fine.
      I prefer music videos because it tells more of a story, while usually introducing the band members to a degree. It also usually gives me something extra to react to.
      I did a BMTH lyric video (it's currently being disputed as it was taken down. Should be up in a few days) and it was fine. Particularly since I've seen the band in other videos.
      Live performances are also great provided they're top performances i.e Ghost Love Score - Fleur Jansen at Wacken.

    Interesting thing: vortex is the song that i always suggest to start with jinjer. why not pisces? because vortex has the same element of surprise since in the first minute or so tatiana doesn't scream/growl, but it is way more complex than pisces and therefore feels less "gimmickly" to me. pisces is more of a "jinjer demo" song, i still like it a lot but if someone would call that "a bit flat" it wouldn't be so wrong...vortex does the same job in makes you know what jinjer are about but is not "entry level" like pisces imho. pisces is the song i would suggest to someone who listen to pop only, vortex the one i would sugget to a metalhead that just happen to not know jinjer.
    with that being said, if you literally never heard of anything by jinjer besides pisces and vortex, the next song you have to react to, in this order, are:
    - perennial (live at wacken)
    - judgment and punishment (one take)
    - teacher, teacher
    - who is gonna be the one (live)
    - on the top (live in kiev) - this one is not usually suggested but its personally in my top3 jinjer songs ever
    - i speak astronomy
    those are all really masterpieces, next ones imho are just "really really really good songs" but not something i would suggest to react...unless you will become obsessed with jinjer like many of us became so i mention those songs anyway :) :
    - ape
    - noah
