🎵JINJER - Perennial Live at Wacken Reaction

[@philipb3030]

What you see is a circle pit. The crowd runs around in a circle. A mosh pit we all slam into each other. It’s a primal release but if you see someone fall we have to pick them up before they get trampled. The wall of death the crowd splits in two and then slams into one another like a battle field. Crowd surfing the crowd lifts you up travels you from around.

[@BrickNewton]

[@rodrigocordero1000]

Yeah, another thing is that ALL of this is optional to you. If you, for some reason, find yourself in the middle of a circle pit, or anything, just move to a side if you don't want to participate. No one is forced to do it

[@brettkenschaft4239]

I only did the crowd surfing thing once, at a Tool concert. It was fun the first few times getting passed up to the front by the stage and then running around to the back again, but then I hit a hole and got dropped and smacked my head pretty good on the ground. My vision got blurry but I could see the bodies around me starting to close in and I thought I was in real trouble. Luckily a guy nearby saw me, reached down and grabbed my hand and pulled me up. Last time I ever did that!!

[@texasnewt]

Thanks for clarifying the question posed by Brad. Sounds like primal fun and games for all!🙂

[@tamcon72]

The academic explanation made me chuckle. Thanks!

[@ThePriorityAlpha]

Its actually incredibly easy to find DEEP lyrical meaning in Metal, its everywhere

[@kenny240]

Also look at some of the tracks from The Black Dahlia Murder’s Miasma album. Songs like “Dave Goes To Hollywood” being about how easy it is to turn to drugs and alcohol as a touring band. And the mental struggles that it brings in general.

[@andersstromqvist2211]

Perennial a plant that whiters away in the winter and starts blomming again in summer. the song is a metaphore for the depression she suffers during the winters and get away from in summer.

[@Rob-wu8fm]

That's facts. That is exactly the meaning.

This rigth here!

[@СтепанАлексеев-г1ъ]

I think Lex will completely crush on Jinjer after "Teacher, teacher" song. And it could be the first Jinjer song Brad will enjoy.

[@stevesummerell9722]

Yes teacher teacher!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes

YESSSS!!!!

[@michaelsquires1177]

Nah, noah

[@philipoldham3382]

Great reaction can’t wait for teacher teacher, one of my favorites and FYI jinjer is on your right now just sayin lol

[@williamneary8264]

Perennial is about the change of seasons. How in the fall and winter everything seems to die out, but it's not really dead it's just sleeping until spring. So the lines " your not dead, no your not dead, just enjoying coma" illustrates the cycle of life.

[@module79l28]

"You're not dead", not "your not dead".

[@saadesigner07]

Which according to her is a metaphor for cycles of recurring depression. "From the ashes of my roots the new me will rise to live again" ... very powerful.

[@jimthecactus7425]

@@saadesigner07 Yeah I believe Tatiana said she suffers from seasonal depression

[@gost]

You can read the lyrics right after the song, they will not disappoint you. It's about nature that dies and resurrects over and over again. It's about Tatiana's depressions as she said. Don't be fooled by Tatiana's growls, she is a very nice, fragile and humble person. I am a little bit puzzled how quickly Lex diving into Jinjer. I am a metal-head guy listened to their songs several times before getting into those growls. But the tiny girl Lex enjoys it from the first try! Some people really born for this kind of music.

[@leeana6394]

It took me one listen to Dimmu Borgir to fall in love with harsh vocals. The “heaviest” I had been listening to was Linkin Park. It’s totally possible 😄

[@Flesharrower]

"From the ashes of my roots, the new me will rise to live again. This is poetry of youth, this is poetry of me and you..."

[@thomasharper3185]

Hey bro, completely love the reaction of you and your lady to this band. As an older African-American that loves metal and has listen to it for the last 35 years and as a guitar player myself I have often found that not many of my peers understand or listen to the things that I love and I would say to you that the lyrical content in this type of music is very deep and beautiful and artistic and would challenge you to continue on this journey. Check out “teacher teacher “next as the intro has an almost hip-hop flow to it but of course with Jinjer being the incredible band they are they take you on a journey from there 🙏🏾✌🏾

[@edorusjan]

Yes, it's a mosh pit and there are several forms of it. The one you see in this video is called a circle pit, but if you'll watch the official video of Jinjer song Teacher, Teacher then you'll see another type called The Wall of Death (description unnecessary, trust me, you'll see it) and yes, people have died in these types of "dancing".

[@maestroblloyd]

At the same time, while pits are the ultimate environment in which to release every pent up emotion you've ever had...they're also insanely respectful. You fall down, someone is right there to help you up. And if someone is acting a fool...they get handled.

[@KeithThorne]

A good mosh pit is hard to beat. It's one of life's experiences.

[@DoubleKlutchRacing]

@@maestroblloyd amen, love the metal community for that, saw a group start pounding on a dude for stomping on people who had fallen, got myself a few licks in too

[@stevenwilliams1805]

@@DoubleKlutchRacing even after being in a mosh pit it's hard to fully articulate the experience. It's looks crazy but, the unity is as close to being part of a school of fish or, flock of birds, as I could imagine.

[@andromidius]

@@maestroblloyd Oh yeah. Once in a pit there was a big young dude pushing around smaller people. So I, a bigger badder person, stepped in and clashed with him. Once. He left the pit when he realised he wasn't the big bad anymore. I don't even like going into the pit very often, but that one time I felt like I had to just to teach him a lesson. You wanna play rough, be ready for someone to play rough back.

[@MartinTheCoug]

Lex is such a metalhead! I just love watching the excitement when you listen to metal music. Loving the reactions!

[@jeremyrios7894]

Lex the pure enjoyment in your face is Priceless. Great reaction as always. you guys . You'll should check out Teacher Teacher next

[@BakerStreetShootout]

So, from my understanding this song is about Seasonal Depression. The concept of dying every winter and being restored every spring just as perennial plants are. Loved the reaction. Gotta check out “Who is gonna be the one” live and “Teacher, Teacher” next. Keep it up y’all!!!

[@stevekallio6783]

Nice reaction you two. I love how Lex gets all happy and into it. Jinjer is a phenomenal band, not just Tati even though she gets the most attention because of her incredible vocals, Eugene, (bass), Roman (guitar), and Vlad (drums) are equally phenomenal. I got the VIP meet and greet tickets to see them in L.A. in October, so to finally see them live and meet them is going to be incredible. They announced their North American tour about a month ago, so they might be in a city near you in case you wanna see them just saying 😉😉 The crowd going in a circle is called a "circle pit" and it happens at metal concerts, but it's all voluntary, like take for instance me, I'm 50, and when I see Jinjer I'm going to avoid one if it comes near me, because at my age, it could end up very bad for me LOL. 😊😊😊 I would suggest having the lyrics pulled up so you can follow along, you would be surprised how much easier it becomes to understand what Tati is saying when she growls. If you guys choose to react to more Jinjer, you won't be disappointed, each song is unique and different, some songs are heavy, others are not, but each one is fantastic. I'm going to throw out a Jinjer suggestion for you, and that song is I Speak Astronomy (OMV) it's a beautiful song, and the video is awesome. Peace you two, and as always, stay Metal. 😊😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@firecap]

I'm in the same boat, I really want to see them badly. I live half way between LA & SF, but I'm thinking of the intimacy of the The Fillmore in SF since I've been there a bunch.

[@firecap]

BTW Brad and Lex, Jinjer is play in Tampa on Dec 1st at the Jannus Live venue (Downtown St. Pete)

[@joumasepoes88]

From the ashes of my roots.....the new me will rise to live again.......this is poetry of youth......this is poetry of me and you.....

[@razzledazzle1]

It’s called a circle pit, lex is basically right you just run in a circle. General etiquette of a mosh pit is bumping, shoving, and pushing are all green lit, but if anyone ever goes down, stop the pit to get them up so nobody gets trampled. Bruises no breaks.

[@tonybrelinski3710]

I thought I commented on this, but I guess I didn't. Love your reaction :) It's cool watching your Jinjer journey. Yeah, the lyrics are definitely a big thing with Jinjer. Tatiana puts a lot of effort into them and they have depth and are typically very poetic. This song is an awesome poem on it's own, then add the music and yeah, it's great. Of all the singers who do extreme vocals, I can understand Tatiana the best (and she sounds the best). She really puts a lot of effort into enunciation so you can hear what she is saying. She has a message and definitely wants people to hear it. The extreme vocals are all part of the expression of the songs for a reason. Tatiana has said in interviews she deals with seasonal depression. This song uses the cycle of the seasons as a metaphor for going into depression in autumn ("Autumn feels like funeral to me") and then coming back out of it in spring. Nature slowly dies in the autumn ("annual tradition of mass destruction") and goes into coma in the winter ("under the ice we found breathless paradise", "no we're not dead, no you're not dead, just enjoying coma"). Then nature lives again in the spring ("from the ashes of my roots, the new me will rise to live again"). Love this song! Yeah, Teacher, Teacher or I Speak Astronomy would be great next: I Speak Astronomy: Official Video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXvSgXydnJZqi5Y&ab_channel=NapalmRecords (this is Tatiana sending a message out to the universe for her soulmate. The only "romantic" song of theirs). Teacher, Teacher: Official Video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYPOg6qCZdudhck&ab_channel=NapalmRecords (this is about people who abuse their power or position and tell people how to live when they themselves have no clue really, using a religious school scenario as the story). Yeah, check out the Tour dates for Jinjer. I have VIP tickets for the Portland, OR Oct 24th show, can't wait! They just announced another show in Portland on the 25th as well.

[@NinerLuv420]

Yet another great reaction! Brad you are getting it”From the ashes of my roots” check out Teacher Teacher next, you can hear her hip hop influence on that track! Looking forward to watching your Jinjer journey!

[@jpdusn8347]

Simply put “Teacher Teacher” official music video and do more Jinjer. Great reactions by you. P. S. They are touring the USA this fall. Schedule is out.

[@chrissmilich3530]

This song is pretty much about autumn bringing death or sleep, birds fly south & the snow comes. Then spring brings a beautiful restoration & awakening . And to showcase her amazing vocals obviously

[@bjsmith6187]

This song uses the metaphor of perennial plants that “die” each winter and are reborn each spring to describe the seasonal depression that Tatiana suffers from during winter months. From the ashes of my roots. The new me will rise to live again. This is poetry of youth. This is poetry of me and you. Definitely check out lyrics for Jinjers songs. They all are packed with deep meaning.

[@SparkimusPrime]

I really, really enjoyed your reaction to this 🖤🖤🖤 Tatiana’s lyrics are poetry. I don’t know where you guys are from but Jinjer announced tour dates. I’m so excited!! It will be my first concert since the dark times started lol If you guys listen then read the lyrics then listen again, you’ll be able to understand more and more on new songs. It’s like muscle memory for your ears lol Can’t wait for more!! 🖤

[@davidkirkham6786]

Love the reaction. Tatianna is AWESOME! Do Judgement (& Punishment) next. You will love it. Peace be with you!

Once you read the lyrics, its A LOT easier to hear them

[@ConceptualVision]

Watching your reactions from the other side of the lake, here in Norway. There's something intriguing about seeing you guys work through these songs, sensing, feeling, being confused, excited ... enlightened? Wish you both the best with your fantastic youtube-channel.

[@HighSocietyDrumLabs]

Genuine people can sense each other.

[@davidburlington3659]

Hi guys! That group of fans going around in a circle is called a "circle pit," which is one type of mosh pit. I've got tickets for Jinjer in Atlanta this December, but I paid for an actual seat because I'm too old for the mosh pits, ha ha. This show was taped at a huge metal music festival in Wachen, Germany. Tatiana calls her low, distorted vocals her "growls. She calls her regular singing voice her "clean" vocals. So you'll often hear metal fans using the terms growls and cleans. I first heard of Jinjer via KZbin and am now a big fan, with all of their CD's. The more you listen to the growls, the more you're able to decipher them. Thanks for a GREAT reaction! Take care.

[@KeithThorne]

I love watching someone waking up to to metal music. I think if it doesn't come naturally you can gain an ear for it, but Lex is a natural born metalhead, no doubt.

[@manimal667]

"Who's gonna be the one." Is a must. It will be another level of the band that you haven't heard yet.

[@ozzzzy52]

Been watching your pisces, teacher teacher and this video, love to see you're both into it :) What they were doing is a 'circle pit' the mosh pit is generally the area in front of the stage where most people tend to 'mosh' . It looks violent, but it really isnt. You should really really check out a metal gig once, the metal community is probably the most welcoming of them all :) and Lex is for sure a born metal head haha

[@chrisingles102]

Great reaction guys! "Teacher Teacher" is a good one to listen to next.

[@jjsbook]

Great reaction.... she is totally hooked on Jinjer now. There's nothing wrong with reading over the lyrics. I've seen reactors do it either just before they hit play or they get going about half way through then pause real quick to do a quick read. Or even pull them up and have them ready at the end of the song so you guys can talk about them. No matter what you do, I promise... the more you listen to this style of music, the easier you'll pick up lyrics. If you guys choose to do my favorite song by them "Home Back"... I would definitely read over before watching. The band members come from Ukraine and the song basically talks about what it was like for them growing up in a literal war zone. So knowing the lyrics before hand , then seeing the visuals of the video, really gives an impact on the viewer. Keep it up... you guys are awesome!

[@beerisproof9019]

I love watching people discover Jinjer. They are, for lack of a stronger word, phenomenal. Their musicality is always on point, Tatiana is prodigious, and they aren't afraid to blend genre's. I would recommend Teacher, Teacher as a song to react to. What they showed there is a circle pit, a type of mosh pit. Moshing is a cathartic release. A lot of people who listen to metal do it because they identify with some anger, or angst portrayed in the music. Moshing is a way to 'safely' exert that release. They are violent, but nobody is trying to hurt anyone else, and anyone who is trying to is handled in swift and decisive fasion. There's no room for hate in the pit.

[@anthonyheffernan5537]

Brad, that is what you call a Circle Pit, as you can imagine, you just charge each other in a circle with all of the energy given through the live music. It's so friggin fun man, nobody means harm at a concert like this. It's all love for the music

[@SL1MZ]

I love that Brad is completely open to the moshpit. I've seen so many people say oh hell na but Brad kept an open mind to it. Lex you can tell when she's vibing out she's so happy. Yalls reactions are imo the best on youtube!

[@ninism2958]

Lex's hype is so contagious! I love that

[@user-sx9ld5xc6f]

Today is the first day I viewed your Jinjer videos (Pisces and Perennial). I loved your candid sincerity. It brought tears to my eyes.....you two are so good together. And......your first reaction was just like mine. I had to listen to Jinjer more and more to catch the lyrics. Once I did, I was even more blown away. This will be the first band I see live after COVID.

[@adeviantproduction]

I'm new to this channel thanks to the Jinjer reacts. Really cool, genuine stuff that's been fun to watch. I needed the positivity today. Since the other comments have a lot of the music covered, here's the deal with the crowds. The standing crowd where people are shoulder-to-shoulder and squashed together is the "mosh pit". As for what to do, generally whatever you're actually able to do. Jump and nod/bang your head, mostly. The guys running in a circle are the creatively-named "circle pit". If you ever go to a show, these are to be avoided. What was seen here is the tame version, likely thanks to Jinjer's tempo shifts. The circle pit will commonly clear out a section in the middle reserved for running into each other and other... let's say "aggressive" activities. Leaving with injuries is just an accepted possibility. But to leave on a more positive note, crowd surfing was also shown. Getting carried above a crowd, and helping crowd surfers towards the front, where they get helped down and led back to the crowd, can be a weirdly communal experience. Search "wheelchair crowdsurf" to see crowds of crazy, tattooed metal heads routinely come together to do something cool.

[@kayciel3268]

Love that you are loving Jinjer! "I Speak Astronomy" is phenomenal and most people overlook it!

Jinjer is touring the USA this winter with Suicide Silence. Awesome reaction guys!

[@rick5908]

Just a note about that concert and the monitor (ear piece). They had a 5 min delay while the organizers worked on bleed through from another band into their monitors. Just before her slide and belt she flipped the monitor out because she had been singing with another dude singing in her ear and she didn't want to mess up. That's why you see her keep fiddling with the monitor in that song. She's an amazing professional.

[@auzdoz]

Love your reactions to Jinjer! Look forward to following you on this ( and other) ride! Would be great to get your take on going to a Jinjer concert. I am catching their gig in Seattle later this year ( saw them there couple of years ago, amazing!).Keep Rocking!!! ✌🏻🤘🏻

I love you guys. You both have such unique perspectives but the combo is perfect. Great commentary. Keep on going, the Jinjer rabbit-hole only gets better and better.

[@theidajawho]

Mosh pit = a "dance of wild" do your thing, swing yo stuff and bump & push off of each other while trying to stay on your feet. A Circle pit (what you see here) is much the same except everyone is moving in the same direction. A Wall of Death is where the moshers line up across from each other and when the beat drops they run slamming into each other and start a mosh. It is a GREAT way to release the angst. Last pit I got to be in was Slayer! My feet did not touch the ground for like half-hour intervals! If you guys really want to go to a Jinjer concert, after the restrictions are all over, Rocklahoma will be on and Jinjer is supposed to play. Would love to host you guys and check out the show (a three day event, I think).

[@Neal_YouTube]

What you asked about is called a Circle Pit. It is a variation on a Mosh Pit. Really enjoyed your reaction. You're right about her being a good performer, she is generally considered by most people to have amazing stage presence. You should check our either Who is Gonna Be the One (Live), or the official video for I Speak Astronomy.

[@LilDevil769]

It is called a mosh pit in this epic show to this band. I love them 💗 been listening to them for a long time. go and see wall of death it's much more crazier.. I been to shows near and around mosh pits, I'm 4"11 but usually i get help from others that realize I can't handle or hack it. But it does get intense and it is fun.

[@Agc2749]

You know Tatiana of Jinjer. Now you must see Floor Jansen of Nightwish. They played at Waken (this same festival) in 2013 to a crowd of 82,000. Check out Ghost Love Score from that performance and prepare for an absolutely incredible voice and musicanship that is top tier and may bring tears. Many many great songs to enjoy.

[@brunocallado5196]

In a moshpit you just let your energy out by running around and bumping into the others, not in a way that would harm or something, that's definitely not the point. It's all about the joy of being a part of a larger group that just love metal like yourself. Have you seen the "wall of death" (the crowd make one at the end of the videoclip for "Teacher, teacher")? You should try one day haha. A hug from Brasil!

[@arc6017]

Great reaction!! I discovered your channel after the first Jinjer reaction and already saw other videos, especially Twenty One Pilots, and I´m loving it. Fun, enjoyable and insigthful videos, really cool you try to get meanings and all (more Lex, Brad is more goofin around, but it works, makes a good contrast :D ). Epic live performance, truly special band and Lex is right, it adds extra layers of difficulty growling, screaming, frying and singing clean in just one song as opposed to just do one of those for the entire song. It takes mad skills, training and focus because in a snap it can all crumble with a single mistake. You really gotta check out the amazing "Teacher, Teacher" official, one of their masterpieces, it´s a blast! Keep up the great vids, peace.

[@HauntingHistory]

You'll definitely get a better ear for what you are hearing. Not just vocally but all the working parts in the band. This band definitely has talent all around and is fun to hone in on each instrument. Good reaction!

Lex: "WE GOTTA GO TO ONE OF THESE! 😍" She's been converted! lmao It's always amazing to see non-metal heads straight up fall in love once they hear a metal band that can get their attention. 👍 Welcome aboard the crazy train. You guys might have just opened the biggest rabbit hole that exists. (there's hundreds of different metal genres)

[@yurikoshinigami]

Jajaja that gets me every time so funny

[@jaredmortimer717]

Great reaction you guys, little info on mosh pits got you! So, when at a metal concert you have mosh pits, circle pits, and also the wall of death. Mosh pits are a lot of pushing and shoving, occasionally elbows. Circle pits you're running in a circle while pushing and shoving. The wall of death is when the artist splits the crowd down the middle, and when they hit the breakdown of the song you charge at each other and attempt to get to the other side of the crowd.

[@rofyle]

A perennial is a flowering plant that comes back every Spring. She is comparing her struggle with depression to a perennial. She doesn't die, but instead sleeps like a person in a coma or a flower in winter until the metaphorical return of Spring when her depression finally leaves. She has an article in the Psychology Today journal where she talks about her depression. You can Google it and read it online. From the ashes of my roots The new me will rise to live again This is poetry of youth This is poetry of me and you

If you look up the lyrics before hand you can understand what she is growling. Shes very poetic in her lyrics. Great Reaction. Jinjer doesnt have any songs that sound the same and they are all great. The more you listen the more you will start to understand what she is saying

Jinjer (/ˈdʒɪndʒər/ "ginger") is a Ukrainian metalcore band from Donetsk, formed in 2008. None of the founding members remain with the band. The current lineup considers 2009 as its official year of formation, with the arrival of singer Tetiana Shmailyuk and guitarist Roman Ibramkhalilov.[5] The band has since added bassist Eugene Abdukhanov and drummer Vladislav Ulasevich. Their most recent album, Wallflowers, was released in August 2021. English not being their mother tongue I'd say their pretty damn good, and don't forget that their nation is at war at the moment so that's heavy on their minds i'm sure. I know that they have crossed the pond to America before, and can only hope that it happens again. This show is live in 2019 Wacken, Germany. The song about the cycle of life and death. It speaks of a moment where the speaker, inspired by nature and the changing of the seasons, is saying goodbye to an old, exhausted life and looking forward to a new one. The lyrics of the song also reflect the cyclical nature of life, as death is followed by rebirth, resembling the idea that life is a circle. The song goes on to reflect on the destruction of life to make way for something new, and finally, it looks to the renewing of life from the ashes of death, acknowledging the beauty of both destruction and rebirth. Lyrics below: This autumn feels like funeral to me The longest song of grief And not for what has passed But for what shall last Exhausted nature is tragic and suicidal! Oh how spectacular she is when she kills herself! Death throes are slowly crawling to her toes As the last leaf is falling off her head I’m here with her undressed With a few petals on my breasts We shared opiates and let the landscaped do the same I love your warmth but yet prefer to sleep in cold alone We fixed our eyes up to the sky To see a flight send us farewell Goodbye! May we see each other next time So please, come back to celebrate this festival of life! Then as now fly! Today you reached the point of no return Now cry! And then die! Tomorrow I will meet you with your cells restored Annual tradition of mass destruction In the name of total reconstruction My biggest source of confusion The reason of decay and disillusion Under permanent ice we found breathless paradise No, we’re not dead No, we’re not dead Just enjoying coma From the ashes of my roots the new me will rise to live again This is poetry of youth, this is poetry of me and you!

If you want to keep going down the Jinjer rabbit hole, check out Tatiana's one take vocal performance of Judgement and punishment. She sings reggae metal! It's insane!

Lex just getting so pumped up makes me smile. Jinjer will be coming on tour this year and will be in Florida. Another pair of reactors named LeAnn X Ari will be at that show as well. Most metal music dives deep into subjects other styles avoid.

[@dragonfire1842]

Yes! Go to one of Jinjer's concerts!

[@undertaker7870]

You must comr to Wacken, Germany, the biggest Heavy Festival in the world! 4 Days Concert and one 'Week camping with positiv Metal Heads! FUN FUN FUN

Just enjoying coma. Symbolizes nature dying at the end of each year and being reborn each spring.

The crowd was in a circle pit. It's basically when they run in a circle. In a mosh pit everyone runs into each other. Shoulder charge other people basically run into them. Don't jump and leave your feet, because that's when someone will hit you and you will land on your back and get hurt. The only goal is to knock the person back or down, and to assert your dominance in the pit. But then you help the guy up and don't let people get trampled. Basically a good way to get aggression out without actually fighting, until someone hits you in the back or head on purpose, then you make sure to get that rid of that person.

Jinjer will tour in US from October to December. Would be cool two of you visit one of their concerts.

I just discovered Jinjer last year and I've never listened to this type of music in my life . I could not understand a single word .you do have to train your ear for it and what I found helps me is to read the lyrics while she's singing so I would suggest after a reaction go back and listen to the song again while reading the lyrics. That way your ear will start to pick it up. You see how much you're enjoying them now just wait until you start hearing the lyrics tati is a very amazing songwriter especially for English not being her native language some of her songs have words that I don't even know what they mean lol and she pronounces them so well that once you have your ear trained ,you will be able to understand every word she says. I would like to suggest teacher, teacher I think you will really enjoy it !

[@firecap]

Yes to Teacher Teacher, then the one take Judgement and Punishment

[@hawkgod14]

Hey guys, I really like your reactions to rock and metal, as you seem very open to new music, which is so cool to see! I would say with regards to lyrics, you can read the lyrics before and/or after, and then talk about them. I remember that it takes a little time to get an ear for especially the harsher vocals, so that might help you, since both of you seem very interested in the lyrical aspect of songs, and metal is a treasure trove of that! It is also not cheating afterwards to research meanings behind songs, it can get some good debate and comparison to your own thoughts! Great reaction, keep it going!!! I would like to recommend "Unleash the Archers - Soulbound", they are a power-metal band, also with a female lead singer.
