I Was NOT Ready For THIS!! | Jinjer "Pisces" [REACTION]

[@russvasquez9571]

“Perennial” Live at Wacken is one of their best performances. Those who watch it usually crushes on it.

[@darthshrek1]

I was the one who requested this for you. This is a very deep song, but one of their older songs. They are a Ukrainian band. Her name is Tatiana. That is her real voice with just a little bit of reverb. If you want more, listen to the song Homeback. Honestly, any song of theirs that you react to will be AMAZING.

[@JustJmax]

Thank you for putting me on to them, this was incredible!

[@christinemclaurin2631]

I saw them live at a small venue back in December. Even better live!! Her voice is amazing!!! Welcome to Jinjer and kudos to you Ass Hat III for recommending. I never get tired of watching people react to Jinger for the first time, its fabulous 🔥🔥❤❤🔥🔥❤❤🔥🔥

[@darthshrek1]

@@christinemclaurin2631 a friend of mine saw them in New Orleans this last winter, was almost the end of their tour. They're back in Ukraine now, I hope they are all safe.

[@BeOtterMyFriend]

@@darthshrek1 I think Tati is in the US. The guys are in Ukraine, though. Kiyv, I think.

[@christophercheck1590]

@@christinemclaurin2631 Same. My wife and I were in the pit at the Aztec in San Antonio, and it was awesome (the opening acts sucked, but Jinjer's set made the whole night worth it)

[@megatryn]

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Jinjer. They are a fierce group of musicians and draw inspiration in their music from all kinds of genres. Fun fact, this song was recorded to showcase their new drummer. I had the pleasure of seeing them live back in 2019 and it was awesome. They really have a incredible stage presence, you should check their live version of Teacher Teacher. Two other songs I'd love to see your reaction of is: Spiritbox: Rule of Nines (Courtney LaPlante live one take performance) Leprous: Slave (Live at Rockefeller Music Hall)

[@odell4625]

More Jinjer and yesterday!!! I started listening to them two years ago and there are still things that she does with her voice that will give me goosebumps, send shivers down my spine and make my eyes water. This song only scratches their surface. This whole band, in particular Tatiana, will give you something new with each song, which as of now might be 40 or maybe 50 assorted official or live videos. Perennial live at Wacken is almost always the second recommendation. It is by far their best proof her voice isn't bullshit song. The third one you should catch is home back. While that one often gets recommended further down the line, it applies to current events in Ukraine, which is where they're from. I've seen a thousand Pisces reactions, and if yours is any indication, you've just uncovered a favorite.

[@NiamorH]

There are a lot more to discover from them :) They often borrow from other music genres. You are not done with surprises. Usually the next song to go is a live one, "Perennial live at wacken". Good journey to Jinjer world!

[@WillowAelfin]

So the singers name is Tatiana and she is a badass as is the rest of the band. They are actually Ukranian so great timing for you to listen to them. From memory the vocal technique Tatiana is using there is called Fry screaming. If your interested check out the KZbinr Beth Roars reaction to this song. She's a vocal coach and explains it much better than I ever could.

[@BTAColorado]

Beth's reaction was ok, but The Fairy Voice Mother did a much better breakdown since she was familiar with the technique.

[@WillowAelfin]

@@BTAColorado I'm actually not familiar with that channel. Will have to look it up 👍

[@BTAColorado]

@@WillowAelfin Beth is great, but so is the one I mentioned. For sure worth a look at the Fairy Voice Mother. While you're at it, check out the Charismatic Voice as well, Elizabeth did a great interview with Tatiana on that channel!

[@j.f.fisher5318]

@@WillowAelfin I agree tgat The Fairy Voice Mother has a great breakdown. It's really cool that Beth has talked about started learning growls since discovering Jinjer though. :)

[@trapworld4998]

You should react to Jinjer - Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019) If you want to be sure, she sounds the same in live aha

[@AbteilungsleiterinBeiAntifaEV]

The next thing that is usually in the Jinjer react pipeline is Perennial live at Wacken Open Air 2019.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

I Speak Astronomy live at Wacken or Perennial from the same show are great follow-ups to see them do their thing on stage. To learn more about her growling technique, the reaction to this song by The Fairy Voice Mother is great including demonstrations of how it works. Subbed. Cheers!

Great Reaction! Welcome to Jinjer!

[@karencommentz8658]

every time someone listens to Jinjer for the first time they automatically become a fan. They are incredible.

[@papacarl2002]

JMax, dude, your appreciation for the intense experiences of discovering Jinjer was *AWESOME* !!! And you’re one of the few people not familiar with this genre that so genuinely fought through your body’s visceral reaction to try to *ACTUALLY* wrap your brain around it and truly understand the intense words that Tatiana was pulling out of her soul. 🌶 💥 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

[@jeffwellman8347]

Welcome to Jinjer. Tatiana is a vocal goddess and the band is topshelf. To appreciate how good this band is, react to their live performances. I recommend "Perennial" live at Wacken, "Pit of Consciousness" live in Kyiv or my favourite 'Who is going to be the One" (Live, Napalm Records). Currently Tatiana is safe in the US but the rest of the band are in Kyiv either organizing aid or training to defend Ukraine. (subbed) 💙💛🌻

[@uthamal]

I LOVE the lyrics of this song, it's the main reason why it's still my favorite of their repertoire. In my humble opinion the first part of the song is mainly metaphorical and references the duality of the Pisces astrological sign (I suppose, I'm not into astrology) but the last part is more literal wrt fish life. That's what I get out of it. I also saw some other reaction channel who got some references out of it on the mythology of Persephone and Hades regarding the start of winter. There's so much you can take out of the lyrics, it's poetry of the highest level and written by Tatiana. I'm not a metal head but became a fan of this group and was lucky enough to be able to see them live in the Netherlands ;-) Thanks for a great reaction and welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole.

[@carolynguarino-voglermd1121]

Pisces is the ultimate reaction song. Thats how they pretty much went global. Their stuff is so good! Tatiana's Judgement and Punishment One Take is amazing too. And can't forget Teacher Teacher.

[@garycoates4987]

Tatiana has so much stage presence it's ridiculous,, watch their live clip "who is gonna be the one" TATI GOES BEAST MODE

[@separaattori957]

this ^

[@maianation]

She is fierce! (What else do we expect really, they are from Ukraine).

[@Roger242]

Great reaction! That is all her … no voice effects. Although this is a live studio recording, there is post production with her layering her vocals. And her growls get lower. Just sayin’. Maybe consider checking out a live performance or 2, such as Perennial - live at Wacken 2019 (pronounced Vah-ken), or Pit of Consciousness - live in Kyiv. Also, it might help to read through lyrics first until you get used to her growling. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@my.business]

*Jinjer is a Ukrainian band. Many did not believe its really her when they saw this, till they reacted to her live concerts. Do react to this one in Australia they did called - Teacher Teacher& see her transition effortlessly.* kzbin.info/www/bejne/amSrgH-KfLypma8

[@chrisdaccardi8821]

This reaction was outstanding. Subbed. Can't wait to watch this Jinjer excursion. Bring it! 🤟😎🤟

[@coder4liberty]

What she's doing is using what are called "false vocal folds" which are above the actual vocal chords. They don't produce a pitch but they let her produce the growls and screams she does. It's an extremely difficult technique to learn. Her vocal chords aren't being used at all to do it so it doesn't do damage to them. There are other women and men who use the technique but arguably she is better at it than most are. Jinjer is from Ukraine and currently the male members of the band are stuck in Ukraine not allowed to leave. Tatiana is in the US currently. A good short list of live performances would be Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air Festival Captain Clock live at Resurrection Fest Who is going to be the one live Pit of Consciousness live

[@richcapo]

I think you’re talking about mask singing. Just make the nasally “ng” sound to activate it. That enables you to safely add distortion to your vocals and extend your range. Add belly breathing for support.

[@coder4liberty]

@@richcapo I'm not an expert on this but "mask" is about placement. That's not the same thing as false vocal chord screaming. It's part of doing it but it doesn't use the vocal chords. Singers who do just clean singing think about placement and the "mask".

[@richcapo]

@@coder4liberty, I’m not an expert on death growling, either, but I for some reason thought the mask has to be activated to do it safely. I really don’t know, though. I’m just stabbing in the dark.

[@coder4liberty]

@@richcapo As I understand it the mask is a way to describe what you have to do to keep your vocal chords open and use just the false folds. It's a way of visualizing keeping everything you are doing above the vocal chords to get fry or growl.

[@shaunbryan3421]

As you further your Jinjer you should definitely have the lyrics up on a 2nd tab or on a separate device. Tatiana's lyrics are basically poetry hidden in her growls.

[@WalliFrog]

Given your comments in "thank you god", "Teacher Teacher" is a great song of theirs with interesting lyrics that might be easier to follow, especially now your past the initial shock of it haha ^^ I love that song so much

[@jayhegener3028]

I saw you make a gesture when the guitarist hit the foot pedal. Just so you know... that's for his guitar alone. The voice changing is all Tatiana doing it naturally.

[@david.j9.rabbithole808]

Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole! You next need to react to “JINJER - Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019)”

[@aditsu]

Great reaction :) I like their songs "Teacher teacher" and "Vortex". And yes, they are all great musicians and play really tight together.

[@rofyle]

She is super charismatic on stage too. Kicking, dancing, racing back and forth to face everyone in the crowd. It's so funny too, because off stage she's such a shy, sweet little thing. As soon as the lights hit though, boom, she's a fierce stick of dynamite.

[@BlackAlbinoDragon90]

Nice to see another reactor opening the gates to heavy music :3

[@linmonash1244]

Yes she's got a great voice. Vocal coaches who have reacted to this one say she is doing that growl / scream? 'healthily' . I'm kinda prepared to take their word for it... but find myself still clutching my own throat when she goes 'off'. 😵‍💫

[@Subjectivity13]

She raps a little in Teacher, Teacher, and she does reggae in Judgement & Punishment (one take vocal performance is the most popular version).

[@shellbell40]

Welcome to Jinjer! Tatiana is a beast and her lyrics are very deep. The band is on another level, they change time signatures and genres so smoothly. Subbed for more Jinjer reactions! You might want to check out Perennial (live at Wacken 2019) Teacher Teacher Home Back Judgement (& Punishment) Vortex Wallflower I Speak Astronomy Spiritbox is another bande you might want to check out. I recommend the one takes Rule of Nines, Circle with Me, and Blessed Be.

[@TheNeonParadox]

Tati is just downright amazing.

[@SirRiconious]

I don't know why nobody recommends Tatianas one take of Judgement and Punishment anymore, whether it's because of the focus on her and not the band as a whole, or the skimpy top she wears in the video, but the video is fierce! Please react to it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2bVmJJsaLibp8k

[@garyrobb5341]

They’re from the Ukraine and were in Kiev a couple of weeks ago. The last I heard, the band members were being held there in case they’re needed to fight. She was sent back to her husband in California. Let’s hope for the best.

[@truefirstmagic]

‘Who Is Going To Be The One’ is an amazing live performance of theirs. I like it better than the oft-mentioned Perennial. Yes, that’s her voice.

[@gavinchapple8350]

There are effects added to the song your correct. Look in the song description. They recored it live then had effects added like reverb. But you only have to hear some of jinjer live concerts to hear there is no effects to make her able to fry scream. Yes it's a tequnique mostly done by men, and yes tatiana does it better than most men. Watch "who is gonna be the one" live, to see what this woman can do in a concert.

If you want some more amazing female vocalist try Nightwish songs=ghost love score live at Wacken 2013. You will be blown away i promise. Thx

[@dragonballbw3]

#JinjerArmy! Check out both versions of "Judgement and Punishment". The official video is has a great story to it. The one-take vocal run though shows you more of her vocal technique since it show more of her jaw and neck.

[@dragonballbw3]

PS, Look up the lyrics! Yes, you can find accurate ones.

Enjoy the talent. Dig into lyrics of there songs. She’s an amazing story teller . It gets better and better.

[@rodentcafeteria]

Great reaction. From 10:42 to 10:59, you literally forgot to breathe.

[@jonjon3005]

The song Pisces is the gateway drug for Jinjer but was only really "remade" to showcase the new drummer Vlad's ability after they lost their previous drummer due to an accident, he wasn't killed thank god, but was injured. Tati has said she didn't want it to be so popular for what it is, but rather is sad that it is so popular when the reasons for it were so different, Pisces people don't like popularity so she says. It's hard to know what the song "truly" means but personally I think it is about how no matter what we do, we seem to destroy that which we love, particularly if it is beautiful. But I am probably wrong on that.

[@CoughHiccup]

Great choice here.....JINJER is a great band..... and Tatiana is an amazing singer !!! also check out Sershen&Zaritskaya (also a Ukrainian Band and the drummer is from JINJER)... Their SKID ROW cover of YOUTH GONE WILD is a good start..or any of their songs or that matter....lol

[@N3PTUNE001]

Hello. I’m new here. So forgive my lack of understanding but, if it’s allowed, could I suggest the song “garden of earthly delights” by “apocalypse orchestra”. It’s like Viking and folk/melodic metal. Personally I came across it not to long ago and I am already hooked by the band. Or other suggestions are 2 songs by the band Wolfheart. One is called “The flood” and the other song is “the hunt”. Absolutely beautiful songs and videos.

[@kratosceg23]

Perennial live at wacken is your next stop!!!

[@capstan50g]

Jinjer was my gateway drug for harsh vocals. Tatiana makes it so musical. You might like their song Teacher Teacher; it showcases her vocal and the band's versatility. On a sad note, the band is based in Ukraine. The last I heard, they were all still alive, but other musicians and performers have not been so lucky. Thanks, Mr Putin, for making the world less by killing the artists who make life worthwhile.

[@deadalus42]

If you want to listen to more woman growling i recommend Courtney LaPlante from Spiritbox (heavymetal) "Spiritbox - Circle With Me - Courtney LaPlante live one take performance" and Auré from Akiavel (deathmetal) "Akiavel - My Lazy Doll (Extract from Slay At Home live Stream)". And if you like vocal switch, you can listen Laure Le Prunenec "Corpo-Mente - Ort [Live at Improve Tone Studios, 2015]"

[@HeadCrusherBR]

Hi I'm late. Well, everybody here has already explained a bit about Jinjer, so I'll instead focus on the fact that you are quite new to heavy metal in general. So here's a beginner friendly list. If not specified, assume it's the official music video. Here are the bands, followed by the musics by them: Nightwish: Ghost Love Score (live), The Greatest Show on Earth (live). System of a Down: B.Y.O.B, Toxicity, Chop Suey, Aerials. Metallica: Master of Puppets, One, Harvester of Sorrow (live moscow), Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman. Pantera: Domination (live moscow), Cemetery Gates. Megadeth: Holy Wars, Peace Sells. Judas Priest: Painkiller. Rainbow: Stargazer (live). Ronnie James Dio: Holy Diver, Don't talk to Strangers (live), Rainbow in the dark (live). And then there's Black Sabbath, basically the creators of heavy metal, and they have way too much good stuff to limit to a comment. Some other time I may recommend some stuff from other genres like Rock, Grunge, Punk, and so on.

[@JustJmax]

Thank you for this list. I'm familiar with some of the names you listed (Black Sabbath, System of a Down, Metallica) and might have heard some of their songs but can't name any from memory. I'll definitely be checking out more of this genre moving forward and will use this list as a good starting point. ✌️

[@HeadCrusherBR]

It's a pleasure to help, after all it's great to expand the horizons of other people with a genre that I've grown up to. Just one more thing, heavy metal can get pretty brutal, and some bands are better to be left to react later, so that's why this above is a "Beginner friendly" list. Reacting to some stuff now can give you a bad impression. Here are some examples of bands to leave for later, when you get used to metal: Slayer, Slaughter to Prevail, Lorna Shore, Infant Annihilator. These are really great, and popular amongst reaction channels nowadays, so you may receive recommendations for them, but leave them be for now.

[@MsCatstaff]

@@JustJmax Two notes for the Nightwish suggestion - there are multiple live videos of Ghost Love Score and The Greatest Show On Earth. For Ghost Love Score, I highly, highly recommend the official live from Wacken 2013 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIrNep9-jKd0jNE as their performance there was one of those occasions that everything just fell into place for the perfect show. You could go through the entire set list from Wacken (many reactors do!) and find gold in every song. But if you want to see them in a smaller venue, try the official live from Buenos Aires 2012 (same tour, just 8 months earlier than Wacken) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aofClqKIa9dkitk I would actually suggest checking out a few of their other songs before moving on to The Greatest Show On Earth, simply because that one is a 21-minute epic and I think you might enjoy getting to know a bit more about the band and what they can do before getting into this one. As a side note, this one also has a couple different live videos, taken from two different performances (Tampere, Finland and Wembley Arena, London, England) for a DVD set. There are differences in staging (outdoor vs indoor venue) and in musical arrangement between the two. Either way, don't stop the video before it ends on its own, it really is all part of the song. Tampere (with lyrics) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJ2ZnYicfrKefa8 and Wembley kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6OwqKubZ96Ua6c

[@christerfurberg6538]

Regarding what is happening now in Ukraine, you really should check out their song Home Back! And maybe have the lyrics pulled up on another screen? Oh yes, regarding the lyrics, Tati said in an interview that she writes the lyrics in Russian first (she's from Donetsk, where most people speak Russian). Then she translates them to English, and somehow the rythm and the rhymes fall into place!

[@LunerianNoLife]

I wonder if they are fans of Amesoeurs. There are sections of this song that are so similar to Les Ruches Malade.

[@gwen-bleiz8141]

💙❤ 💛🌻

[@thomasharris4942]

I just got to be the 666th like, which is appropriate because Tati has that demon voice that shocks the new reactors.

[@jmar7631]

This was interesting. I went to your rock/heavy metal playlist and see only this video listed. If you really want to take a trip, dive into Led Zeppelin, the band considered to be the progenitors of rock/heavy metal as we know it today. First album dropped in 1969 and every song on it is excellent. In fact, as the band's music evolved, they just got better and better, but starting from the beginning is way to "get" Led Zeppelin. :)

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with Gods & Gold. It features Richard Z Kruspe, (the guitarist of Rammstein)
