If you wanna check out more see Live- perinneal live at waken One take - judgement and punishment Hip hop vibes - teacher teacher Emotional - wallflower Emotional and great story telling video of when they were first invaded by Russia in 2014 - home back As for her voice, anyone can sound like that, it's all false fold work. She's a queen live and has the sweetest most high pitch speaking voice 😆
You are absolutely right > JINJER is an absolutely extraordinary band, each of the musicians is world class and please check also the lyrics, they are also something very special. I have loved this band for 5 years!!!!!!!! I've been a musician myself for over 40 years, but you might hear a band like this maybe every decade... Jinjer does his own thing musically. For Jinjer you need time, patience, sometimes you feel overwhelmed as a listener... just fantastic! Thanx for your reaction and see you soon! warm greetings from germany > subbed
They are from Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, where the fighting started in 2014. Her name is Tatiana, and is mostly self taught, with influences including Gwen Stefani and for harsh, Otep and Randy Blythe(Lamb of God). Glad you mentioned the drummer, Vlad. This live session was done to showcase him as he had joined not long before this. But it went viral because of her voicals. He is classically trained on piano, and self taught on drums. He , Roman (guitar), and Eugene (bass) are all awesome musicians. They write the music, and Tati writes most of the lyrics. The guys were stuck in Kiev when the current fighting started, but were allowed to leave last summer to tour and be ambassadors for Ukraine. The song is called Pisces(Pie-sez) , as in the astrological sign. Tati and Eugene are both Pisces, he helped her out with the lyrics on this song. Vortex is an awesome song from the most recent album, Wallflowers. Home back is about the fighting in their homeland in 2014. And if you want to see her live, try Perennial at Wacken 2019 or Pit of Consciousness in Kiev.
They are so good live. I agree with both "Perennial" live at Wacken 2019 and "Pit of Consciousness" live in Kiev. I saw them in Atlanta in December, what a show!
Good on ya guy! If you like Jinger and Nightwish, try Heilung. One of the best videos I’ve seen is Anoana. They are as good or better live. Trust me. You like. 😊
Jinjer is phenomenal. Pisces is the perfect reaction intro to them, but I'd say "Teacher Teacher" is my favorite. The other standard Jinjer songs to react to: Perennial (live), Judgement & Punishment
Jinjer is a genre bending machine of a band. You will hear Rock, Jazz, Rap, Blues, and Reggae all wrapped around a Metal base. You asked so here you go. Enjoy the ride: “Perennial” Live at Wacken. “Teacher Teacher” OMV. “Who is Gonna be the One” live. “I Speak Astronomy” OMV. “Pit of Consciousness” live in Kiev. “Wallflower” OMV. “Retrospection” live or OMV. “Vortex” OMV. “Captain Clock” live at Resurrection Fest. “Outlander” OMV (Baby Jinjer) “Sit Stay Roll Over” OMV. “Disclosure” OMV. “Judgement and Punishment” one take vocal performance. That should be a good start for you. You pick the order.
Welcome to Jinjer! I hope you continue with this amazing band, they have a very deep catalog of awesome songs, each very different so it is a journey. Awesome reaction!
I love this group. I’m usually here for your stray kids reactions but I like all different kinds of music. Yeah it’s pronounced as ginger. Tatiana is so talented. Her vocals are crazy. They are a Ukrainian group and are great live too.
ROFL Dude, I've seen a million of these and gotten used to people's reaction, so it's been awhile since someone's reaction caused me to laugh out loud, but holy smokes, your facial expression. Nice reaction!
This band (current lineup) is awesome. They're excellent musicians, and Tatiana's vocals are impressive. Her screams have really improved like crazy. They were always good from what I've heard but now they're soooo good.
Congratulations, you have hit the motherload, Jinjer has such an amazing catalogue of work each song in it's own way is first class and of course Queen Tati is a beast in the best of ways. hope you enjoy the ride.
Jinjer formed in Horlivka, north of Donezk in eastern Ukraine. Band members changed a lot until the current team formed Tatiana - lead singer Eugene - bass Roman - guitar Vlad - drums When hostilities started in 2014 they left for Kiew, which has been their base since then. Tatiana once said in an interview that she started experimenting with vocal fry when she was 11. She is self-taught.
Appreciating Tati is one thing, but I love reactors that also appreciate the music going on overall because everything sounds amazing. That bass lick really was sick 12:35
Jinjervitis strikes again! 😬...deep rabbit hole, subbed for the journey, other greats.. Perrenial (live at Wakken), Teacher Teacher (official video), Judgement and Punishment (live one take), Who is Gonna Be the One (live) Pit of Consciousnes (live in Kiev), Vortex has one of her deepest growls....etc. Etc.....🔥
The singer is Tatiana Shmayluk. Jinjer is well known to be amazing live. Good examples are Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air, Outlander Official Live at Loudfest, Captain Clock Live at Resurrection Fest, Pit of Consciousness Live in Kyiv, Cloud Factory Official Live, Judgement and Punishment One Take Vocal. They are actually touring with Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin this summer in the US. Jinjer is from Ukraine. They started with Tatiana around 2009. None of the original members are with the band although many of the former members do work work with them on things and appear in videos. This video and version of the song was done to introduce their current drummer. The song itself is from their King of Everything album which was recorded with their previous drummer. Virtually every song from that album has some sort of video and all of them are really good. Vortex, Call Me a Symbol, Mediator and Wallflower are all from their newest album. Some good older songs would be No Hoard of Value, Who is Gonna be the One, Plus or Minus. Another popular song of theirs is Teacher Teacher.
Good morn.... 😂🤣 !!! You look like you have bitten into a super souer Lemon 😅! 😜 Thank you for a funny start into the day 😄. Good morning from Germany and Parkinson's sucks but EMPPU RULES 🤗 alex
She dwelled into different genres, learned how to perfor them, which gave her a lot of control over growl abilities. There are some interviews where she explains that.
Tatiana has excellent diction no matter what she's doing. There is a bit of production on her voice, but it's fairly obvious. There's a second growl in there at certain parts, plus there's a whisper track under the third verse and final growling part. It's not a big deal as I'm sure it's still all her, but I thought it worth pointing out. Also, I've been listening to The Agonist since they began and to Arch Enemy since "Wages of Sin," so I've been desensitized to the shock of a woman growling and/or switching between growling and cleans. It's still fun to see other people react to it, though.
Jinjer truly is the best at what they do. And while I love a lot of female led metal bands, Tatiana has the best depth to her growls and is honestly better than a huge chunk of male screamers. Be sure to check out "Perennial" live at Wacken, "Judgement and Punishment" one take, "Homeback" and "Teacher, Teacher". They blend grooves and genres seamlessly. Can't wait to see more
This band is dope and Tatiana is a beast on stage and a genius lyricist and she will reignite your desire for harsh vocals with her style and abilities to do quality cleans
My first time hearing this I thought it sounded like something from a jazz club lol. Every Jinjer song has a different combination of elements, and this one just happens to be perfect for trolling the unsuspecting. There is some doubling of the growls which makes them more shocking but fundamentally yeah that's Tatiana's false cord growls. Crazy thing is, these aren't even her low growls, just a bit lower than her default growling tone. She specifically wanted nobody to be able to say she growled like a girl so though Otep inspired her to learn, Randy Blythe was her primary influence as a growler. Also she has a rather low speaking voice, and quite a prominent tomboy side that I feel she expresses through her growls. And at the point this was made she'd been practicing those growls for something like 15 years. After this blew up they stopped editing her growls in live videos because of the greater scrutiny they began to get. They were basically nobodies before this hit the reaction channels. All that said, I've seen them twice and the first time, I was standing next to a stack of speakers and her low growls shook every cell in my body. Perennial live at Wacken is the usual next stop. Who Is Gonna Be The One official live focuses on her growls including low range, and is one of the least-edited of their top-quality live recordings. There's also a high-quality bootleg of a show at some event at Whiskey A GoGo with Tatiana and musicians from different bands covering Lamb Of God's Laid To Rest if you just want some evidence. Lots of other bootlegs too and while they are highly rehearsed, there are slight differences between them. (I was 12 or 13 when Milli Vanilli were exposed and I'd never been an all-in fan of a group before, so I had to do due diligence before letting myself take the plunge - heh) Jinjer is Tatiana's 8th band, and she had a side project Latin band for a while as #9 during Jinjer's early days (if you search "vidcerts tatiana jinjer nirvana" there's a fun 22 minute video of her singing latin-infused Nirvana covers that are fire) before they were forced to leave their hometown by the 2014 war that set the stage for the current invasion. Home Back is about their hometown being caught in that war and "we want our home back" has become a refrain for them since the invasion. After being inspired to get serious about singing Tati basically started singing with every local band that would let her to gain experience, and says at one time she was singing with 4 bands. There's always been metal and alt rock in the mix but her musical interests and performance experience cross a wide gamut of genres. Call Me A Symbol and Vortex are from their newest album which is my favorite of theirs. I can see an arguement in favor of the more stripped-back editing on Micro and Macro which is closer to their live sound and which was necessitated by limited time between constant tours. Wallflowers was produced during lockdown so they had nothing but time. None of the original members are still with the band. Ukraine is a hard place to make it as a professional musician and even moreso in metal. It seems like only those who wouldn't or couldn't bear to do anything else made it. One of the former members is an actor now and played an interrogating cop in their video Discosure, and a journalist who was going to interview Tati ran into their former vocalist Maksym hanging out on their bus in L.A. Jinjer has opened for Slipknot and is opening for Disturbed this summer. They have a new album coming out later this year that has perhaps the most metal genesis of an album ever, with the guys beginning to compose the music while trapped in Kyiv under siege during the early months of the invasion. I don't know if the songs will have anything to do with the war though, as Tatiana says she doesn't feel like she can talk about it yet.
She better than males too, she has range in her growls and supreme clarity. Granted I don't really like growls so don't seek it out much, but shes number 1 that I've heard.
I'm happy you loved it 😂. You caught all the musical intricacies, which was great. ❤ One thing I'd like to bring your attention to is that in this song lyrics and music are unseparable unity. If you listen to it again reading lyrics you'll see how it is all together about the dual nature of Pisces (not pieces).
Congrats on finding Jinjer, This was basically the intro for the drummer Vlad who was new to the band at the time... Tatiana is awesome.... Suggest ( My persoanl fav of the group ) Teacher Teacher official ( combo of multiple concerts in sync) The transitions are outstanding..... Vortex Official MV will twist you around Literally..... as mentioned below, Perennial Live at Waken version is the proof of her voice for any doubts about Live singing capability...etc etc Tatiana, Vlad on Drums, Eugene on Bass, Roman on Guitar From Ukraine, Current members are not the original's, more info on their website....The Musicianship of all of them is 2nd to none....BTW its based off the Zodiac symbol of the fish, with Duality aka the 2 sides..... She is also a Pisces ( pronounced Pie-see's)
Tatiana is a vocal beat, she will chew and spit you out. She is on her way to become one of the metal gods! Eugene, Roman and Vlad are equally amazing.
I can only echo the high praise comments of everyone else here. Jinjer is phenomenal and not a bad song ever. Continue on this journey; you will not be disappointed! 🤘🏼🫶🏼
Best growl in ALL of metal. male or female. And IMO she is one of the top 10 front people of all time, any genre. She's an absolute goddess. She's gorgeous, frightening, she sings like an angel, screams like a demon, she is a fashion icon (not so much in this), and she has a stage presence that absolutely commands your attention.
Very few males can go as deep as she does for example in Home Back. Will Ramos being an obvious exception. And her diction is miles and leaps better than most growlers. Will and Tatiana are the absolute top game for rough metal vocals right now.
I love how the band sets you up. You see this waif of a woman, cute as can be, with this gorgeous pop voice, singing over a band playing a jazzy kind of song. And then someone throws a switch and you see a feral woman emerge, angry and ferocious, a complete change- and then back to pop and again to growl, only angrier- and finally to that wild explosion with the huge belt and final shriek. Tatiana Shmayluk is the singer, and has been with band from early on- though none of the musicians were there at the beginning except her.
Full-on beast mode! Tatiana (vocalist) spent a lot of time and effort learning how to get a deeper, fruitier sound - and it has paid off. She's amazing but don't let that blind you to the rest of the band, all of them are top notch musicians. Unusually, they are so tight and practiced that they can do this stuff live too. Tati is the main lyricist (99%) and the stories she tells are always moving and passionate. People will point you at the "Perennial live at Wacken" OMV but if you want art videos with your music, try "Wallflower" OMV and "Vortex" OMV. Both very high quality video productions. This is a band that cares about every part of the experience.
She's better at screams and growls than most males, imo. She doesn't just do the typical, almost emotionless "demonic" or purely angry growls. Her growls and screams have power and feeling, more like a wild predator (bear, big cat) than a "demon." I think that quality of her distorted vocals comes from her femininity. Her distorted vocals also have serious range. She can go from a super low death growl to a beautiful high pitched scream, and slide into those different pitches. And her clean vocals are very versatile. Here she's doing more of a "pop" style vocal, and it's great but maybe a bit more mundane compared to a lot of their stuff (until the belt at the end). She can do a beautiful haunting melodic voice, she can rap, do a reggae voice in a similar vein to Gwen Stephanie or Amy Winehouse, etc. She has great breath control, can do stunning melismas, and can switch between clean and distorted on a dime (check out the live at Wacken version of Perennial). And let's not forget Tatiana's lyrics. She's got serious poetic chops and her lyrics are often inspired. She is amazing, and so is the band. They are maybe the best musicians in any modern(ish) metal band I've heard. They are certainly on a short list.
O boy your in for a fun ride. Now to me this song isn't in my top ten songs from this band. When I first heard this I didn't care for growls but after diving deeper into their music (cause of the musicianship of the band) I have slowly starting to like it more and more. Sit back and enjoy this ride good sir cause it will only happen once.
Pisces refers to the astrological sign (latin for fishes - have a look at her ear inserts). Pisces are said to have dual personality which you find represented musically in the song.
Perennial (Live at Wacken) Teacher Teacher Pit of Consciousness (Live in Kiev) Judgement and Punishment (One Take Vocals) Vortex Wallflower Who's going to be the One (Live) I Speak Astronomy Disclosure That should be a good start :)
Yes it's her voice and her name is tatiana. Welcome to JINJER!! Please continue on with your JINJER journey. Try (PERENNIAL) live in Wacken 2019 , (WHO IS GOING TO BE THE ONE) live at resurrection fest, maybe do some old school stuff like (OUTLANDER) original video, (SCISSORS) original video. When your done with these videos than your ready for (THE PROPHECY) original video. ENJOY!!! Thank you!!!
Actually she's not the 1st female growler in metal music. The 1st one was way back in the early 80s and her name is Sabina Classen from the thrash metal band called Holy Moses. The 2nd one is Lori Bravo from the mid 80s grindcore band called Nuclear Death.
She was actually just supposed to fill in for the original singer but after seeing how good she was and the energy she brought, the original singer stepped aside.
Wait till you get in deeper and see some of the styles they mix. They haven't made a bad song. It's really hard to pick a top 10. They absolutely kill it live too!!!
If you would like to hear more from her, this video is a great example of her amazing vocals as well, it’s a one take vocal performance, and you will love it! 🤪 th-cam.com/video/Q5rg_63Shqg/w-d-xo.html
Brother, nice reaction. Tatiana (Shmailuk) is my gurl, but I wouldn't want to see her mad! Haha. Two things: have you ever listened to Ningen Isu, a japanese three piece band that is making music for almost 30 years. Check out Heartless Scat. The second thing: Jinjer is from Ukraine. When I went to Kyiv in August 2021, my mission was to try to meet or visit either Jinjer or Ignea (not sure if you heard of them). They are based in Kyiv, so I was lucky enough to meet them in my hotel in Kyiv. My profile photo is of me with Helle and Evgeny of Ignea. Unfortuunately Jinjer toured in Finland when I was there, so obviously I couldn't catch them. The Ignea song to start of with will be Alga with a full orchestra. Keep going, cheers from a cold and wet South Africa.
I've seen 3 other people react to this song (The Charismatic Voice, Julia Nilon, Ken Lavigne), and they all started freaking out when Tatiana starts screaming. Everybody does. 😂 Edit: yes, that's her real voice. She's using her false chords to achieve that sound. This is the end result of several years of practice - she said that she started out by screaming at other cars, and was disappointed by how much she sucked at it. They also typically freaked out at how easily she could switch between harsh and clean vocals, and how high she could sing.
Might I suggest another band that brings a very unique cultural vibe to metal. Check out a band called "Bloodywood". I would say either Machi Bhasad or Aaj. Machi Bhasad is the song that really got them noticed and Aaj is a more refined yet just as wicked of a song as every other song on their album. In my opinion they do not get enough radio love here in the states but they are an amazing band and each song has a very special meaning behind it. Fun fact: Bloodywood started as a 2 man metal parody style band like Leo Moracchioli of Frog Leap Studios.
If you want to do Call me a Symbol, buckle up, the song goes hard and Tatiana does her thing in front of an amazing band. Perennial live at Whacken is a great next choice, see them on stage where they thrive. She ha amazing stage presence and a very unique talent. 🤘
The thing on the drum is called a "rimshot" - played correctly, the rim is hit simultaneously with the head (or "skin" is a common word for the same thing). By hitting both, the sound of the rim being hit gets transferred to the head, which resonates and amplifies the tone from the rim while adding the head's own resonance. Much the same sound can be obtained by laying one end of the stick on the head and pivoting at that contact to strike the rim. This is a bit easier to be consistent, but it takes a moment to rest the stick - often creating an unwanted sound. Thus, a good drummer will be well enough practiced to get that simultaneous rim + head strike consistently, only using the second method when the song allows the extra time. In this case, Vlad had the time, and used the second method.
Spiritbox is a whole different sound. I love Courtney and Mike (since Iwrestledabearonce), but Jinjer is not easily comparable in that way. I recommend them for people who can't deal with complex time and massively alternating genres. Jinjer is no easy listen when you drive into that rabbit hole. Spiritbox sits in a much more comfortable spot. Tati is my goddess, but no shade to Courtney.
What!?....No!?... Yes, actually, welcome. One of Tati's big influences is Randy Blythe's harsh vocals from Lamb of God. Here's a vid of her covering Laid to Rest by Lamb of God with a bunch of other famous players (not Jinjer) for a charity event. th-cam.com/video/t1KWJeP53WI/w-d-xo.html
Her name is Tatiana Shmailyuk
The JINJER drop never gets old Tatiana is a beast
Tatiana is a monster vocalist. She can do way deeper and way more brutal than in Pisces. And her cleans are angelic. The 3 guys are also incerdible.
Welcome to Jinjer. Tati is a vocal goddess and the band is amazing. I recommend "Perennial" live at Wacken for a follow up reaction.
There's always this exact same comment under every pisces reaction video.. enough already
voice of a (biblically accurate) angel 😍
The voice's of Gabriel and Lucifer on the same person hahahah
If you wanna check out more see
Live- perinneal live at waken

Emotional and great story telling video of when they were first invaded by Russia in 2014 - home back
As for her voice, anyone can sound like that, it's all false fold work. She's a queen live and has the sweetest most high pitch speaking voice 😆
As for this video, they did this to show off their new (at the time) drummer.
Who Is Gonna Be The One (live) is also great! Jinjer hasn't produced anything I don't love. lol
I would add teacher teacher to that list.
You are absolutely right > JINJER is an absolutely extraordinary band, each of the musicians is world class and please check also the lyrics, they are also something very special.
I have loved this band for 5 years!!!!!!!! I've been a musician myself for over 40 years, but you might hear a band like this maybe every decade... Jinjer does his own thing musically. For Jinjer you need time, patience, sometimes you feel overwhelmed as a listener... just fantastic!
Thanx for your reaction and see you soon!

Welcome to Jinjer.
They are from Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, where the fighting started in 2014. Her name is Tatiana, and is mostly self taught, with influences including Gwen Stefani and for harsh, Otep and Randy Blythe(Lamb of God).
Glad you mentioned the drummer, Vlad. This live session was done to showcase him as he had joined not long before this. But it went viral because of her voicals. He is classically trained on piano, and self taught on drums. He , Roman (guitar), and Eugene (bass) are all awesome musicians. They write the music, and Tati writes most of the lyrics. The guys were stuck in Kiev when the current fighting started, but were allowed to leave last summer to tour and be ambassadors for Ukraine.
The song is called Pisces(Pie-sez) , as in the astrological sign. Tati and Eugene are both Pisces, he helped her out with the lyrics on this song.
Vortex is an awesome song from the most recent album, Wallflowers. Home back is about the fighting in their homeland in 2014. And if you want to see her live, try Perennial at Wacken 2019 or Pit of Consciousness in Kiev.

Jinjer Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev is a must if your looking to see how hard they can go
Jinjer is phenomenal. Pisces is the perfect reaction intro to them, but I'd say "Teacher Teacher" is my favorite.
The other standard Jinjer songs to react to: Perennial (live), Judgement & Punishment
What he said... ;)
HIGHLY recommend checking out Perennial live in Wacken for the next one. They're even more impressive live :)
I've seen them 4 times. It's a treat to watch her sing like that right in front of you 🤘
Jinjer is a genre bending machine of a band. You will hear Rock, Jazz, Rap, Blues, and Reggae all wrapped around a Metal base.
You asked so here you go. Enjoy the ride:
“Perennial” Live at Wacken.
“Teacher Teacher” OMV.
“Who is Gonna be the One” live.
“I Speak Astronomy” OMV.
“Pit of Consciousness” live in Kiev.
“Wallflower” OMV.
“Retrospection” live or OMV.
“Vortex” OMV.
“Captain Clock” live at Resurrection Fest.
“Outlander” OMV (Baby Jinjer)
“Sit Stay Roll Over” OMV.
“Disclosure” OMV.
“Judgement and Punishment” one take vocal performance.
That should be a good start for you. You pick the order.
I’ve watched hundreds of reaction videos to this song at this point, and yours is immediately one of my favorites!
Welcome to Jinjer! I hope you continue with this amazing band, they have a very deep catalog of awesome songs, each very different so it is a journey. Awesome reaction!
If you react to Jinjer. Rob Smith will come.
@@whispermason8052 I resemble this remark! Yes I will and so will a lot of the Jinjer Army, a very passionate and cool group of fans!
i finally get to see them live next month... cant wait...
Perennial live at Wacken next
I love this group. I’m usually here for your stray kids reactions but I like all different kinds of music. Yeah it’s pronounced as ginger. Tatiana is so talented. Her vocals are crazy. They are a Ukrainian group and are great live too.
Tatiana's "third" voice gets me every time.
ROFL Dude, I've seen a million of these and gotten used to people's reaction, so it's been awhile since someone's reaction caused me to laugh out loud, but holy smokes, your facial expression. Nice reaction!
This band (current lineup) is awesome. They're excellent musicians, and Tatiana's vocals are impressive. Her screams have really improved like crazy. They were always good from what I've heard but now they're soooo good.
Teacher Teacher or Perennial live at Wacken is generally the next stop on this incredible journey
Congratulations, you have hit the motherload, Jinjer has such an amazing catalogue of work each song in it's own way is first class and of course Queen Tati is a beast in the best of ways. hope you enjoy the ride.
Jinjer formed in Horlivka, north of Donezk in eastern Ukraine. Band members changed a lot until the current team formed
Tatiana - lead singer
Eugene - bass
Roman - guitar
Vlad - drums
When hostilities started in 2014 they left for Kiew, which has been their base since then.

Next song HAS to be Teacher Teacher
She dwelled into different genres, learned how to perfor them, which gave her a lot of control over growl abilities. There are some interviews where she explains that.
The Trifecta of Metal, Hard Rock and Rock: Jinjer, Band-Maid, and The Warning -- all pushing their core genres into the next realm! 🤘 🤘 🤘 Thx, TYLR!

Berklee, cool! Went there for a bit back in 79-80. Ages ago, another planet.
I finally got the chance to see them 4 years ago and the whole band was awesome. They all compliment each other with their sound.
She’s amazing and a sweetheart . And the guys r bad ass
This band is dope and Tatiana is a beast on stage and a genius lyricist and she will reignite your desire for harsh vocals with her style and abilities to do quality cleans

There's also a high-quality bootleg of a show at some event at Whiskey A GoGo with Tatiana and musicians from different bands covering Lamb Of God's Laid To Rest if you just want some evidence. Lots of other bootlegs too and while they are highly rehearsed, there are slight differences between them. (I was 12 or 13 when Milli Vanilli were exposed and I'd never been an all-in fan of a group before, so I had to do due diligence before letting myself take the plunge - heh)
Jinjer is Tatiana's 8th band, and she had a side project Latin band for a while as #9 during Jinjer's early days (if you search "vidcerts tatiana jinjer nirvana" there's a fun 22 minute video of her singing latin-infused Nirvana covers that are fire) before they were forced to leave their hometown by the 2014 war that set the stage for the current invasion. Home Back is about their hometown being caught in that war and "we want our home back" has become a refrain for them since the invasion. After being inspired to get serious about singing Tati basically started singing with every local band that would let her to gain experience, and says at one time she was singing with 4 bands. There's always been metal and alt rock in the mix but her musical interests and performance experience cross a wide gamut of genres.
Call Me A Symbol and Vortex are from their newest album which is my favorite of theirs. I can see an arguement in favor of the more stripped-back editing on Micro and Macro which is closer to their live sound and which was necessitated by limited time between constant tours. Wallflowers was produced during lockdown so they had nothing but time.
None of the original members are still with the band. Ukraine is a hard place to make it as a professional musician and even moreso in metal. It seems like only those who wouldn't or couldn't bear to do anything else made it. One of the former members is an actor now and played an interrogating cop in their video Discosure, and a journalist who was going to interview Tati ran into their former vocalist Maksym hanging out on their bus in L.A. Jinjer has opened for Slipknot and is opening for Disturbed this summer.
They have a new album coming out later this year that has perhaps the most metal genesis of an album ever, with the guys beginning to compose the music while trapped in Kyiv under siege during the early months of the invasion. I don't know if the songs will have anything to do with the war though, as Tatiana says she doesn't feel like she can talk about it yet.
The end is the best where Tatiana belts in both voices, the clean and distorted.
That's wonderful! Pls stay in touch!
It's hard to not get overwhelmed by Tatianna's voice. Especially live!
How crisp and guttural her growels are. Funny you mention Disturbed. Jinjer is touring the US with them this summer. Big Venues
She is a best growler than most, period.
She better than males too, she has range in her growls and supreme clarity. Granted I don't really like growls so don't seek it out much, but shes number 1 that I've heard.
We're here 🤘😎🤘 Keep 'em coming!
I'm happy you loved it 😂. You caught all the musical intricacies, which was great. ❤ One thing I'd like to bring your attention to is that in this song lyrics and music are unseparable unity. If you listen to it again reading lyrics you'll see how it is all together about the dual nature of Pisces (not pieces).
Congrats on finding Jinjer, This was basically the intro for the drummer Vlad who was new to the band at the time... Tatiana is awesome.... Suggest ( My persoanl fav of the group ) Teacher Teacher official ( combo of multiple concerts in sync) The transitions are outstanding..... Vortex Official MV will twist you around Literally..... as mentioned below, Perennial Live at Waken version is the proof of her voice for any doubts about Live singing capability...etc etc Tatiana, Vlad on Drums, Eugene on Bass, Roman on Guitar From Ukraine, Current members are not the original's, more info on their website....The Musicianship of all of them is 2nd to none....BTW its based off the Zodiac symbol of the fish, with Duality aka the 2 sides..... She is also a Pisces ( pronounced Pie-see's)
Tatiana is a vocal beat, she will chew and spit you out. She is on her way to become one of the metal gods! Eugene, Roman and Vlad are equally amazing.
I can only echo the high praise comments of everyone else here. Jinjer is phenomenal and not a bad song ever. Continue on this journey; you will not be disappointed! 🤘🏼🫶🏼
Well put, "how clean her uncleans are." Nice. Subscription immediately
Now that you know their background, I would suggest Home Back. It will hit you in the feels.
Best growl in ALL of metal. male or female. And IMO she is one of the top 10 front people of all time, any genre. She's an absolute goddess. She's gorgeous, frightening, she sings like an angel, screams like a demon, she is a fashion icon (not so much in this), and she has a stage presence that absolutely commands your attention.
Very few males can go as deep as she does for example in Home Back. Will Ramos being an obvious exception.
And her diction is miles and leaps better than most growlers.
Will and Tatiana are the absolute top game for rough metal vocals right now.
Yeah...that's all her, and Tati is a powerhouse. FriarJon's suggestions below echo my own. Please do more Jinjer!
I love how the band sets you up. You see this waif of a woman, cute as can be, with this gorgeous pop voice, singing over a band playing a jazzy kind of song. And then someone throws a switch and you see a feral woman emerge, angry and ferocious, a complete change- and then back to pop and again to growl, only angrier- and finally to that wild explosion with the huge belt and final shriek. Tatiana Shmayluk is the singer, and has been with band from early on- though none of the musicians were there at the beginning except her.
Full-on beast mode! Tatiana (vocalist) spent a lot of time and effort learning how to get a deeper, fruitier sound - and it has paid off. She's amazing but don't let that blind you to the rest of the band, all of them are top notch musicians. Unusually, they are so tight and practiced that they can do this stuff live too. Tati is the main lyricist (99%) and the stories she tells are always moving and passionate.
People will point you at the "Perennial live at Wacken" OMV but if you want art videos with your music, try "Wallflower" OMV and "Vortex" OMV. Both very high quality video productions. This is a band that cares about every part of the experience.
Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole!! They will not disappoint! I won't recommend anything, you will get plenty from the Jinjer Army!
She's better at screams and growls than most males, imo. She doesn't just do the typical, almost emotionless "demonic" or purely angry growls. Her growls and screams have power and feeling, more like a wild predator (bear, big cat) than a "demon." I think that quality of her distorted vocals comes from her femininity.
Her distorted vocals also have serious range. She can go from a super low death growl to a beautiful high pitched scream, and slide into those different pitches.
And her clean vocals are very versatile. Here she's doing more of a "pop" style vocal, and it's great but maybe a bit more mundane compared to a lot of their stuff (until the belt at the end). She can do a beautiful haunting melodic voice, she can rap, do a reggae voice in a similar vein to Gwen Stephanie or Amy Winehouse, etc. She has great breath control, can do stunning melismas, and can switch between clean and distorted on a dime (check out the live at Wacken version of Perennial).
And let's not forget Tatiana's lyrics. She's got serious poetic chops and her lyrics are often inspired.
She is amazing, and so is the band. They are maybe the best musicians in any modern(ish) metal band I've heard. They are certainly on a short list.
O boy your in for a fun ride. Now to me this song isn't in my top ten songs from this band. When I first heard this I didn't care for growls but after diving deeper into their music (cause of the musicianship of the band) I have slowly starting to like it more and more. Sit back and enjoy this ride good sir cause it will only happen once.
Great work on that great work.
Song teacher teacher! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
it ain't called pieces', it's called Pisces... it's a star sign
Respect & Peace
Can’t wait for your next Jinjer reaction.
Pisces refers to the astrological sign (latin for fishes - have a look at her ear inserts). Pisces are said to have dual personality which you find represented musically in the song.
My favorite Jinjer song/video is I speak Astronomy, so a reaction to that would be interesting.
Perennial (Live at Wacken)
Teacher Teacher
Pit of Consciousness (Live in Kiev)
Judgement and Punishment (One Take Vocals)
Vortex
Wallflower
Who's going to be the One (Live)
I Speak Astronomy
Disclosure
That should be a good start :)
Think that's the first time I've seen someone have an eye twitch to her voice.
This should be fun
Tatiana is a killer and she slays
Respect & Peace
Yes it's her voice and her name is tatiana. Welcome to JINJER!! Please continue on with your JINJER journey. Try (PERENNIAL) live in Wacken 2019 , (WHO IS GOING TO BE THE ONE) live at resurrection fest, maybe do some old school stuff like (OUTLANDER) original video, (SCISSORS) original video. When your done with these videos than your ready for (THE PROPHECY) original video. ENJOY!!! Thank you!!!
Tatiana, miyu from nemophilia, ukina for hanabie are the best of the best of the metal music these days
And then there's Alissa White-Gluz . . .
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu to true I have forgotten all about her but I remember her from years ago
LOL. Just wait until you hear "Vortex"!
Actually she's not the 1st female growler in metal music. The 1st one was way back in the early 80s and her name is Sabina Classen from the thrash metal band called Holy Moses. The 2nd one is Lori Bravo from the mid 80s grindcore band called Nuclear Death.
She was actually just supposed to fill in for the original singer but after seeing how good she was and the energy she brought, the original singer stepped aside.
Welcome to Jinjer. A great sport on TH-cam is watching all the reactors who get freaked the fuk out by Tati on this song.
Wait till you get in deeper and see some of the styles they mix. They haven't made a bad song. It's really hard to pick a top 10. They absolutely kill it live too!!!
Omg, I adore Tatiana ❤❤
Drums have heads(the skin) and bodies. The clacking on the body rim is commonly referred to as a 'ghost note'.
You should definitely react to the band Hanabie
If you would like to hear more from her, this video is a great example of her amazing vocals as well, it’s a one take vocal performance, and you will love it! 🤪
th-cam.com/video/Q5rg_63Shqg/w-d-xo.html
Haha, that was one of the best "No,no,no" reaction
My 2 favourites with "who's actually singing?" Is Tatiana Shmailyuk and Tomi Joutsen
Tatiana is the BEST ! 💙💛
Teacher, Teacher is next :P ull see how awesome Tatiana is
Voiceplay is releasing their new video today at noon est..... In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins.
his face - "the tatiana effect"!
She is my favorite female lead but you should also check "The Pretty Reckless"
Brother, nice reaction. Tatiana (Shmailuk) is my gurl, but I wouldn't want to see her mad! Haha. Two things: have you ever listened to Ningen Isu, a japanese three piece band that is making music for almost 30 years. Check out Heartless Scat. The second thing: Jinjer is from Ukraine. When I went to Kyiv in August 2021, my mission was to try to meet or visit either Jinjer or Ignea (not sure if you heard of them). They are based in Kyiv, so I was lucky enough to meet them in my hotel in Kyiv. My profile photo is of me with Helle and Evgeny of Ignea. Unfortuunately Jinjer toured in Finland when I was there, so obviously I couldn't catch them. The Ignea song to start of with will be Alga with a full orchestra. Keep going, cheers from a cold and wet South Africa.
I've seen 3 other people react to this song (The Charismatic Voice, Julia Nilon, Ken Lavigne), and they all started freaking out when Tatiana starts screaming. Everybody does. 😂 Edit: yes, that's her real voice. She's using her false chords to achieve that sound. This is the end result of several years of practice - she said that she started out by screaming at other cars, and was disappointed by how much she sucked at it.
They also typically freaked out at how easily she could switch between harsh and clean vocals, and how high she could sing.
Might I suggest another band that brings a very unique cultural vibe to metal. Check out a band called "Bloodywood". I would say either Machi Bhasad or Aaj. Machi Bhasad is the song that really got them noticed and Aaj is a more refined yet just as wicked of a song as every other song on their album. In my opinion they do not get enough radio love here in the states but they are an amazing band and each song has a very special meaning behind it.
Fun fact: Bloodywood started as a 2 man metal parody style band like Leo Moracchioli of Frog Leap Studios.
If you want to do Call me a Symbol, buckle up, the song goes hard and Tatiana does her thing in front of an amazing band. Perennial live at Whacken is a great next choice, see them on stage where they thrive. She ha amazing stage presence and a very unique talent. 🤘
🤘🇺🇦🤘
The thing on the drum is called a "rimshot" - played correctly, the rim is hit simultaneously with the head (or "skin" is a common word for the same thing). By hitting both, the sound of the rim being hit gets transferred to the head, which resonates and amplifies the tone from the rim while adding the head's own resonance. Much the same sound can be obtained by laying one end of the stick on the head and pivoting at that contact to strike the rim. This is a bit easier to be consistent, but it takes a moment to rest the stick - often creating an unwanted sound. Thus, a good drummer will be well enough practiced to get that simultaneous rim + head strike consistently, only using the second method when the song allows the extra time. In this case, Vlad had the time, and used the second method.
Thank you for explaining this! I knew there was proper terminology for it! 😄
in the second verse, there was some kind of double voice.
here are many female vocalist like her u just didnt discover it them yet...
Oh look, another popped cherry.
Should def check out Spiritbox, Holy Roller and Circle With Me one take. Courtney has some great harsh vocals too.
Spiritbox is a whole different sound. I love Courtney and Mike (since Iwrestledabearonce), but Jinjer is not easily comparable in that way. I recommend them for people who can't deal with complex time and massively alternating genres. Jinjer is no easy listen when you drive into that rabbit hole. Spiritbox sits in a much more comfortable spot.
Tati is my goddess, but no shade to Courtney.
What!?....No!?... Yes, actually, welcome. One of Tati's big influences is Randy Blythe's harsh vocals from Lamb of God. Here's a vid of her covering Laid to Rest by Lamb of God with a bunch of other famous players (not Jinjer) for a charity event. th-cam.com/video/t1KWJeP53WI/w-d-xo.html
