[@danielrose933]

I see you have already seen " I speak .. " BUT..... maybe not in a reaction but at least in your own time check Jinjer out doing I Speak Astronomy (LIVE at Summer Breeze 2018) < STELLAR performance.

[@RustySabita]

@danielrose933 Good shout as this performance was off. So I will check that out, thanks. This song has grown on me so much.

[@snapgab]

This one ranks near the top for me, I love the weird spacey vibes that it has, especially in the bridge.

[@jeffwellman8347]

One of my favourite songs by them.

[@RustySabita]

It's grown on my fast too!

[@MLuxemburg]

I love I Speak Astronomy, but I have trouble comparing Jinjer songs to each other. They all have fantastic energy, but there's so much variety that's it's like different kinds of energy and I love that. Someone else said, "my favorite Jinjer song is whichever one is playing at the moment" and I couldn't agree more! Thank you, Rusty, as always, for bringing more of the fantastic music of Jinjer to more people! ❤🖤🤘

[@RustySabita]

I got you. I love spreading the words. Wish I could spread it to more people. Thanks for watching as always, brother! 🤘🙏🙌

[@SteveSmith-os5bs]

I would recommend Jinjer song, "Captian Clock" live at Resurrection Fest.

[@RustySabita]

I got you, brother!

[@Oneminutemindfulness]

Great suggestion!!! ❤

[@ISpeakAstronomy]

This song influenced my life and my nickname.

[@RustySabita]

haha, I see the name. Very name. In what way exactly did it influence your life?

[@ISpeakAstronomy]

​@@RustySabita Well, I've been through some rough patches healthwise and that's when Jinjer chimed in to help my spirit. This very song especially, don't know why. Also I'm an astronomy fan in general, so there :)

[@RustySabita]

@ISpeakAstronomy The power of music. Got to love it! Im glad it helped you! I'll always be here to entertain as well, if it's ever needed 🤘🙏🙌

[@claudiocunha7672]

cloud factory live next

[@RustySabita]

Noted down! Thank you!

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

This song is a masterpiece and will always hold a very special place in my heart!

[@RustySabita]

I'm glad you love it. It's has grown on me more since Saturday. What is it about this song for you?

[@jennymercurio8367]

We want more Jinjer! Home Back next!

[@RustySabita]

haha I feel you!🙌

[@hemlock399]

Check out Roman's guitar playthrough to appreciate the wild rhythms he pulls off.

[@RustySabita]

I will. Thank you! 🙌🙏🤘

[@ericpeterson7512]

I second this suggestion. Roman's chord choices are so out there, he's like Alex Lifeson on crack. Or like fusion guitarist Allan Holdsworth. Especially during the "melodic" middle eight part, you see the playthrough and you're like "THAT'S what he's playing?! No way! Those chords are CRAZY!" Then you start to wonder how in the hell Tatiana came up with her vocal parts over that. The vocal line is often what brings the whole thing together. It's kinda magical really.

[@hemlock399]

@@ericpeterson7512 100%. The rhythms and dissonance in the usual composition of so many of their songs make Tatiana's job incredibly difficult, but she somehow pulls it off!

[@ВодападРека]

Super!!!!!!!!

[@Double_J_48629]

the 2019 Wacken show is known as a problem set -- the engineer just couldn't get anything to work properly, and they couldn't get it together until _Perennial_ , which turned out absolutely perfect. having seen this song live, i can affirmatively say that this one plays better at night/indoors , due to how effective the lighting can be in dramatically adding to the performance ... _especially_ on that drop to the outro (for me, it's the highlight of the set). trivia note: i've read that this song has been played more times live than any other song in their catalog. (can not confirm ; just passing it along) and yes, this is from _King of Everything_ ... i believe i've made mention to you previously that it is indeed a transitional album ; and this is one of the songs that really highlight that. for further recommendations ... from this album, i really like _Just Another_ for older: i'm a huge sucker for _Cloud Factory_ , _Outlander_ , and _No Hoard of Value_ my fav newer ones: _Home Back_ , _Vortex_ , _Disclosure_ , _Wallflower_ (the last 3 all being from the newest album) Wacken details: over the last 10 years, they've been hitting their capacity of 85,000 paid attendees , with 200ish bands (in a town that normally has only about 2k residence 😂). this year's sold out in 4.5 hours, at over 300-euros/ticket.

[@RustySabita]

That's makes totally sense. I was going crazy thinking if it was this bad or not. I had to back to my perennial video to check lol

[@frankh9600]

I love Dmitry's drumming on this track so much

[@RustySabita]

Hey mate. He killed it to be fair.

[@appievandonselaar731]

I agree this is the best BAND in the universe ¡!!!!!!

[@RustySabita]

I hear that! I'm already trying to get myself some Jinjer Merch!

[@coder4liberty]

Consider that the primary way Jinjer does songs is that the guys come up with instruments, record them and then Tatiana waits until the last minute for inspiration to write the lyrics. So she has to weave all those words into whatever time signature changes they do. Most people are confused the minute something isn't 4/4 time so it's kind of her unsung talent that she can feel these things and place the lyrics.

[@RustySabita]

Yeah, it was so distinctive in this track. Im enjoying it more than this the first time now, tbf. It's grown on me. Another layer to the Tatiana talent.

[@ericpeterson7512]

Middle eight. That's what that part is often called. Intro, verse, chorus, bridge, middle eight, outro. Those are the usual terms used.

[@RustySabita]

Middle either. I've never heard that term before. Thanks dude! 🤘🙌🙏

[@Skorp1979]

I really like this song a lot, but also I agree with you, that this song is not my favourite from Jinjer. Recommendation: Cloud Factory live

[@RustySabita]

It's grown on me since this, but Pisces still slaps the hardest for me. I'll note those down :)

[@pretendginger]

This song is from the King of Everything album (the same as Pieces). Based on comments from fans on other reactor's channels it seems this track isn't universally loved but I really enjoy it. Recommendations: Vortex & Home Back.

[@RustySabita]

Yeah, I could see why they would say that, but in all honesty, since this reaction it has grown on me. Especially since ive had to listen to it constantly whilst editing. Thanks for the recommendations, theyre noted! :)

[@chriso6719]

You're on the right track, with the lost in space. Written about a search for her soulmate, whom she thinks may be in another dimension, calling out to him. Tati has since gotten married, to Alex Lopez (current P.O.D. touring drummer). Yep, King of Everything, same record as Pisces, 2nd album. Recorded in 2016, Vlad replaced Dmitriy Kim on drums later that year. Another comment already mentioned that in the Wacken 2019 set the audio guys had issues. They were first on at like 11 a.m., which probably has a lot to do with the crowd size in this video. Started late because of those issues, and played as much of the set as remaining time allowed when they did finally get on. Home Back or Vortex would be my suggestion for next Jinjer. Killswitch Engage huh? Another of the symphonic rock/metal bands is called "Within Temptation", been around as long as Nightwish. One of the many collaborations they have done over the years is a song called "Dangerous" feat former K.E. vocalist Howard Jones.

[@RustySabita]

The stage issue must have been really frustrating. Play all these badass tracks and the crowd probably thinking you're flat as hell. Howard was on one of their tracks? I know Within Temptatation, I listened to a few of their songs, but I never knew that. I love that ever of KSE with Howard on vocals. I'll have to check that out.

[@tomislavkosanovic1104]

'Outlander' OMV, 'Ape' OMV, 'Sit stay roll over OMV'

[@jameswarner5809]

The reason the riff in the first two verses of I Speak Astronomy throws you is that, not only is it three bars of 6/8, 7/8 and 6/8 respectively, but the last bar is split into four one and a half beat intervals.

[@RustySabita]

That's a whole bunch of words you just said. The technical side, I'm very weak on, but hopefully, over time I'll pick it up.

[@brutalshow3364]

🤘🇺🇦🤘

[@whispermason8052]

Wacken is insanely big.

[@RustySabita]

I thought so too, but then I saw the crowd and it made me doubt myself.

[@chrisflaim8257]

Jinjer Live in L.A. their latest album is better than Live in Melbourne, also Pol'andRock Festival at night was good a new concert video from 2022.

[@RustySabita]

I'm looking forward to checking that out.

[@chrisflaim8257]

Jinjer is my favorite, but I also like other female fronted metal bands. Britta Görtz former bands Cripper, Critical Mess, now she's with Hiraes. Iris Goessens with Spoil Engine 2015-2022, The Agonist with Vicky Psarakis, now has a new band Sicksense. The Charm the Fury 2010-2018 they broke up. Blind Ivy, 5rand, Among Your Gods, Infected Rain, Kassogtha, Monochromatic Black, Once Human & Vintersea. Other female fronted metal bands I know Ad Infinitum, Ankor, Arch Enemy, Butcher Babies, Conquer Divide, Crypta, Ignea, Entheos, Fallcie, Frantic Amber, Nervosa, Stellvris, Stitched Up Heart, Synlakross, The Anchor, Venom Prison, Vexed, Walls of Jericho. Feelament, Max Morton Produces them he is Jinjers producer also & Dmitry Kim formely of Jinjer is their drummer. Bloodhunter the singer Diva Santanica former singer for Nervosa for a short time. Otep Tatiana's first time hearing a woman growl.

[@chrisflaim8257]

Infected Rain - Orphan Soul, Postmortem Pt.1, Black Gold, Enslaved By a Dream, Fighter & Mold. Once Human - Erasure, Sledgehammer, Eye of Chaos, Scar Weaver, Gravity & Dark Matter. Monochromatic Black - Phosphenes ,The Herd, Abaddon, Warmth of the Sun & Closing the Gates.

[@RustySabita]

I've not heard of most of those, though Monochromatic and Infected Rain do interest me.

[@ericpeterson7512]

Also check out Future Palace - Malphas, along with new band Gore., who only have two songs out. But my favorite other than Jinjer is IKINÄ from Finland. Check out their video for "Rituaali" from their recent self-titled album. The whole album is heavy, dark, melodic, and intense. The band features two badass female singer/screamers. They can sing and scream in unison, in harmony, and all combinations, twining their parts around each other. The more you listen, the more you love. I call them the heaviest melodic band in the world--or the most melodic band that's that heavy.

[@mrnadya]

​@@RustySabitaAnkor, a spanish metalcore band leaded by the magical Jessie Williams.

[@fangirl6115]

❤

[@hemlock399]

This ranks in my top 25% of Jinjer songs. The rhythms are kind of nuts, so it may take a few listens if that's a style unfamiliar to you. Give it a bit of patience.

[@RustySabita]

It very much did grow on me. It's not my favourite still, but I like it much more than first listen.

[@aixmhros]

[@RustySabita]

My Mann! 🙌🙏🤘

[@andrebrodbeck3883]

You mentioned melodic death metal as your favorite genre, so i have to ask, do you also like death core? Also, for a better live version of this song, try the Melbourne version.

[@RustySabita]

I very much do!

[@andrebrodbeck3883]

@@RustySabita so next question, do you know the bands slaughter to prevail and face yourself? If not i have at least two recommendations.

[@RustySabita]

@andrebrodbeck3883 Only recently and not heard the 2nd one. But I just raised a community post about Slaughter to Prevail. If you got some song, definitely chuck them on that post for me, fella! 🙏🤘

[@chrisflaim8257]

Monochromatic Black is the death core version of Tatiana with their singer Tanya. Also the latest Jinjer release Live in L.A. is better than Live in Melbourne Album.

[@RustySabita]

@chrisflaim8257 Firstly, what a badass name. I'll read up on them for sure. I'm planning to either tondo a whole video on that once I've seen all the same songs separately. Or stream it. Stay tuned.

[@DarrellW_UK]

Not my favourite song from them, I suppose Vortex comes high, reminds me a bit of Rony Radke 😂 Watch the world burn!

[@RustySabita]

That's a song I really need to check out.
