🎵 Jinjer Vortex Reaction

[@skepto-o-punk8286]

Lex is DEFINITELY your secret weapon. Such a charismatic cutie!

[@leethibidaux1641]

Yeah she hot as FUCK !!

[@ironm3mm361]

Ummm 😳🙄😳

[@damienbradshaw]

@@leethibidaux1641 not hotter than Jinjer :)

[@Aaronacer]

Brad definitely listens to Jinjer everyday when he drives to work. We all have secrets we keep from the ones we love.

[@jennifermartin40]

When she went full deathcore I just melted. I love this band so much

[@marcbaur677]

You should listen to older Six Feet Under Albums, you will like it, slow Death Metal with deep growls and clean singing. 🙂

[@jennifermartin40]

@@marcbaur677 ooooo thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely check them out :)

[@jennifermartin40]

@@marcbaur677 where should I start with these guys? What's your album or song recommendations? I found them on spotify just now

[@marcbaur677]

@@jennifermartin40 start with the Song War is comming, for a full Album: Haunted, its from 1995, and sorry, i was wrong, no clean singing but high screams sometimes. 😄

[@jennifermartin40]

@@marcbaur677 I can handle no cleans but thanks for the heads up on that😂. I just listened to one of their songs " feasting on the blood of the insane ". I was like oooooo I like this😈

[@rastomasstanford7708]

Lex is too funny. Turn up lex. You need a moshpit in your life for real.

[@cyberia55]

She was saying “WHIRL! SPIN! SWIRL!”, while the ‘heavy-thought vortex trash monster’ had a motel sign stuck in his shoulder. 😂

[@goldenruletv7301]

Tatiana is the absolute G.O.A.T. So good she gives me goosebumps every time.

[@goldenruletv7301]

Such a fantastic song on a great album!

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

So exciting, Jinjer are never boring.

[@Kaeion21]

Seeing the metalhead come alive in Lex is a beautiful thing. Girl is jamming!

[@kevwelyk]

The key to grooving on this type of music is to focus on the drummer, particularly the cymbals. The drummer is often riding one of the cymbals, keeping steady time that you can count to.

[@chuckarnold4600]

Love you two, not just for this but all you have posted and a million other reasons. You have led me to music I would not have found on my own, thanks. Grateful for it. Will treat you two to a concert anywhere, anytime. I'm serious, just let me know. Currently have tickets to several Jinjer shows, including meeting the band. Thanks for being you. 53, suburban, white male, long time metal and 90's rock fan, but don't judge me based on that. Best, Chuck

[@MrDabulls23]

Tatiana is a beast. Have you two been introduced to Leo Moracchioli yet? His KZbin channel is Frog Leap Studios, he takes songs from all genres and periods and gives them his own metal flare in a cover. He plays all the instruments and mixes them into cool and often funny music videos w/ guest appearances. May I suggest two of his most viewed- Adele “Hello” and Toto “Africa”. Thanks, you guys rock!

[@lunakat5763]

I Love Leo besides the songs you mentioned I like the one he did with Violet Orlandi.

[@MatthewBousumonline]

This is America and WAP (yes that WAP) and many more songs as well.

[@averageatbest8146]

Toto - Africa cover is my favorite currently. He's definitely worth checking out. Leo is hilarious.

[@catsaregovernmentspies]

I also like when he did Dance Monkey 🐒

[@M.B90]

His Bee Gee's Tragedy is absolutely epic.

[@bbravo5531]

You were definitely in the right ballpark with the whole mental thing. It's about one's thoughts being so heavy and negative that it becomes engulfing that you spiral down so far that you can't get out of that state (Vortex) and it will eventually consume you.

[@paranoidrodent]

In an interview, Tatiana described the band's creative method as the guys (Roman, Vlad and Eugene) jam together developing the general musical outline of each song without her input while she holes herself up and writes poetry (sometimes originally in Russian, which she then translates to English). Once they guys feel the songs have progressed enough musically, she joins them and hauls out her collections of poetry and starts adapting it poems that feel right into lyrics that work with the music (essentially, the whole band fuses music that was originally an instrumental piece and poetry into final songs with vocals). Another band which I have heard described as having a similar process was The Smiths. Morrissey would produce handwritten volumes of lyrics (poetry basically) and join the band late in their creative process, transforming his written work into suitable lyrics.

[@kennethgaither2441]

Love this band Tatiana is a beast love her growls and screams on point and Vlad kills those drums Roman and Eugene perfect🤘🤘

[@kgsimracing]

I never clicked on a video quicker. Jinjer + Brad and Lex = KZbin Gold Great Vid!!! Keep up the great work Btw the lyrics were in the video description

[@acemodez3169]

All I heard were those FIRE guitars 🤣🤣 I think Lex might be my spirit animal

[@camlloyd3321]

Great reaction! This is the best Jinjer video ever, and that is saying a lot!

[@seandobson6221]

Tati is a metal goddess! Jinjer is fire!

[@phandnot]

Another great reaction. I'm a lot like Lex, in that my first listen (or two), I feel the music. After that, a few listens in, then I switch to Brad mode and figure out the lyrics and meaning. I do believe that is what I like about Jinjer, is that they are so unique and interesting. 🤘🏻

[@TheGregh1977]

Y’all checked out their last song home back? It’s about their experiences in their home country. Good lyrics

[@jennifermartin40]

I love that song

[@ryanexsus]

If you read the lyrics with a song like this when you first hear it, you can almost never unhear it you know what I'm saying?

[@70soperator16]

NEW SUB.; I just binged your Jinjer vids....nice work....Brad, your blissful confusion is the perfect compliment to Lex's inquisitive enthusiasm....love yer content....keep it up

[@Ollieisskaxxx]

Absolutely crushed it with this song . A similarish band that you two need to check out are Spiritbox . Pretty please could y'all give them a go, any track will do

[@jennifermartin40]

ABSOLUTELY SECOND THIS

[@Hdieidjdowjd]

Yes! Holy roller, circle with me, rule of nines, all so amazing

[@jennifermartin40]

The beauty of suffering! When she sang this on liquid metal was my favorite

[@jen.g.]

We tried hard on this live stream to get them to react to Spiritbox. They lost to Lamb of God.

[@jennifermartin40]

@@jen.g. ahhhh I see. I also like lamb of god so no complaining over here haha. I hope they do get to spiritbox soon tho :)

[@jennifermartin40]

YESSSSSS I was waiting for this This song is beyond amazing

[@Warpony49]

Just a FYI, if you didn't already know. Jinjer does not block any of it's videos. 😉👍🙂 lol! Loved the reaction and looking forward to more Jinjer ❤

[@drew1753]

Great reaction! When you get a chance you should check out Lorna Shore - To The Hellfire. And more Jinjer...always more Jinjer.

[@Ollieisskaxxx]

& anything by the band Spiritbox

[@jennifermartin40]

That new lorna shore 🥵🥵🥵

[@Theaquaponic12345678]

Lex, I am a 50 yr old Rock/Metal etc... , musician that has worked and played the scene for 30+ years. Lyrics are the last thing I EVER hear.. For me, what is being said will only matter if it fits musically with what the music is making me feel. You are not alone. The feeling is what makes it. Tati's voice (and all other voices) is an instrument. The entire band is ridiculously talented at using their instruments The flipside of Jinjers Coin is Spiritbox IMO. You want feels with this style... Spiritbox.... Great Job you two.

[@randyreynolds4252]

exactly what I have been saying, if you cant connect to the music the lyrics will never matter

[@ironm3mm361]

Whole album is LEGIT! Copycat and dead hands feel no pain are my favorites

[@Dark__Thoughts]

5:22 Awwhaha. :D Don't worry Brad, it's definitely pretty difficult headbang to proggy songs like this one. Kudos to listening to the lyrics, you got the meaning pretty well, and I think it is a little sad that not more people pay attention to them, as Tatiana is a pretty good lyricist.

[@followforms]

You need a doctorate in experimental physics to headband to this masterpeice lol.

[@jonathanbouthillette753]

Jinjer - I Speak Astronomy

[@emelt3377]

You guys definitely gotta check out suicidal tendencies can't bring me down

[@impulse4079]

Whirl! Spin! Swirl! Great song.

[@jeffwellman8347]

Great question. Looking forward to see your Wallflower reaction.

[@OmegaProxy]

A little tip for a fellow Brad. Often in this type of music the drummer will use a cymbal to give you a beat you may be able to nod to. Sometimes this beat will carry through transitions to line up on the other side if this makes sense.

[@61805begin]

Yup that’s what you can tap your foot to the whole time no matter what

[@deathaggrotheangrychef1016]

I love that lex gets down to this.

[@joespradley2323]

Oh! Snap!! Loved it!!! You go Lex🙏🏼🌹

[@stephaneg.7373]

Lex you are an irresistible Vortex for us 😊

[@arc6017]

Fun reaction to one of Jinjer's hardest songs to get into. Very "uneasy" sound with all the timeshifts and breaks, takes awhile to grow on you. I don't really know the meaning, but I like Brad's take and I'm sticking to it :) Try the amazing "Retrospection" official or live in Melbourne. It will definitely get you going. Cheers!

[@irinagill1738]

Great reaction💥💥💥💥💥💥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MLuxemburg]

Love Jinjer, love this song, love your reaction! Brad you're spot on about the spiral down mental health and Lex you're spot on to headbang! 😂 Three Jinjer recommendations I think you'd both love: Captain Clock lyric video, A Plus Or A Minus lyric video and No Hoard of Value lyric video (their lyric videos are really far FAR better than most other lyric videos). Enjoy! ❤🤘

[@rjh862]

I'm 59 and a lifelong musician n played a variety of music ( mostly rock) and I LOVE JINJER. It's fresh n exciting....every song is amazing. They are the proverbial "onion" with many layers....the more you peel back the more there is. This song is a perfect example of that...if you LISTEN CLOSE to the music there is so much actually going on...same w the vocal overdubs...layers on top of layers !

[@matthewflesher3438]

The spiral stair CASE!!!!!

[@yetiwookie4868]

"all i heard were them fire guitars"....as a guitarist this made my day :)

[@starbaby2671]

A metal band with a vocalist who’s easy to understand is Cannibal Corpse. The lead singer growls frequently but you can understand what he’s saying

[@jerrykeck1494]

Would love to see you're take on old JINJER - SCISSORS - IN THE END

[@mackowalk2456]

I love this song! The more I listen to it the more I think it's the best song by this band ever created in fact! :D It also reminding me about one other great song by Jinjer which is I Speak Astronomy- I highly recommend for you to check this song next time! :D

[@tylerschnabel1743]

Also, the “feather” has no choice in the speed with which it travels or even the destination. It is completely at the will of another force.

[@mikedanger6323]

You'll are such a nice couple... One's mind can be like a vortex...

[@dennisgraham9444]

Lex just makes me smile so big😁

[@spacetiki]

Nice! Tati bringing out her inner Layne Staley! You guys are great. Love the channel

[@pagemaker2417]

Nice reaction. Love you

[@elisiaaraya7989]

They are from Ukraine. The Donbas region, which is highly impacted by the war right now. Most of the songs are about her life or the struggles with Russian occupation or influence.

[@elisiaaraya7989]

This song is about the vortex of the two worlds clashing. It’s kinda eerie, because the Russians invaded Ukraine, it’s like a warning to the world.

[@rousse387142]

My man's reaction when Tatiana hits the super low is authentic AF.

[@xboxgamertrev6763]

Understanding it will come with time, the more you listen the more you can pick out

[@redsnorlax1945]

These guys are the kings of the groove and tatiana is a monster as usual

[@dontreadonme5331]

Did I catch it correctly? Brad listened to a jinjer song prior in order to prep his ears to understand the growl lyrics? If so, that really speaks to the effort you guys put into your reactions! All the more reason you guys are my favorites and I always intentionally open KZbin to see what you guys have dropped! Love you guys! Keep that shit up!

[@mgordon1964]

Whirl, spin, swirl.

[@randalljones4370]

Dang Brad... I'm finally gettin you. I'm the same, except I do it with the technical aspects of playing music. Lex.... you got this band figured... just ride with the melody... the beat can vary, or be a bit obscure... the melody , Roman's guitar and the mighty Vlad-n-Eugene Machine is always there... it's just not always a smooth ride... life rarely is. (think of riding in the back of a pickup, with square wheels and a wash-board gravel road...) Anyway, I love the stuff that both of you are doing.

[@donaldjackson4456]

North American tour starts in October. Jinjer is a must see in concert

[@littlebeast5948]

I watch your vids high and u guys r dope 💯

[@wearenxt818]

I love y'all content and I have already subscribed to the channel. I would love to see you guys react to White Zombie - Thunder Kiss '65, White Zombie - Black Sunshine, White Zombie - Welcome to the Planet MF, And many more of their tracks.

[@jamescoleman8954]

I’m already going to see In this moment in November but I just seen Jinjer will be in my area 17 days later so I’m really thinking of going to that, and SlipKnot in Oct

[@TannerGarcia]

I cannot wait for 12/7/21!!! Third concert 😭🥰🥰😍😍😍 They’re just fucking delicious!!

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

Hey speaking of a downward spiral you guy's should check out some Nine Inch Nails. (They have an album called "The Downward Spiral."

[@TrashBoat11]

Homie is tryna say it's hard to find that back beat that is underlying the whole track. A slow count of four is usually where it's at man, look for the snare in the madness. You'll catch it when you pay attention yall🔥 great video!!

[@Ephem13]

To be fair Jinjer are notorious for changing time signature and that's what most try and figure out.

[@hemlock399]

Lex's cool more than compensates for Brad's uncool. That makes the two of you a great duo.

[@jazoon7249]

To get the beat of this song, follow the crash symbol. Also it isn't cheating to pull up lyrics and follow along.

[@stephenroby8498]

“Vortex” is a song about overthinking, diving deep into your thoughts and how hard it is to dive out again, to escape your own thoughts. Like A Lunatic, Frantic The Man In The Room Looks So Dramatic With A Left Shoe On His Right Foot This Spiral Traffic Feels Too Traumatic, Too Traumatic Quiet The Man Is Wandering Around Where's The Way Out He Never Found? And Inside There's A Ball Made Of Lead It’s Rolling And Rumbling On Parquet Oh How Heavy Is The Ball! It Bends His Spine To The Very Ground Neither His Nor Another Enormous, Ludicrous Oh How Heavy Is His Thought! In A Half An Hour Or So It Crushed The Floor And Smashed The Man's Toes Oh How Heavy Is His Thought! In A Half An Hour Or So It Crushed The Floor And Smashed The Man's Soul (Whirl) Through The Black Hole In The Floor (Spin) I Begin My Whirl (Swirl) I'm A Driftwood With No Strength (Spin) Without Soul, With No Will Like A Feather I Travel Down (A Spiral Staircase) One More Loop Through Abyss (Where Stairs Are Erased) Like A Feather I Travel Down (A Spiral Staircase) Falling Deeper Than It Is (All Stairs Are Erased) Through Rapids And Stones I Came Like Water And Like Wind I Go Through Rapids And Stones I Came Like Water And Like Wind I Go Spin! Swirl! Whirl! Spin! Swirl! SWIRL Whirl! Spin! Swirl!

[@temptjoe]

We all know Lex is a metalhead. But I know metalheads that are just like Brad.............. A lot of metalheads will feel the music and the vocals and then dive deeper into the lyrics. Its a journey and that is the point!!!

[@PixelPhobiac]

The lady knows how to dance!

[@johnjohn-xf8nh]

Glad to watch you do another Jinjer song. I then went back and checked out your other Jinjer reactions, ( for a second time ). Looks like Perennial is the only actual live one you did. Hope you will do these some time, both live, kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2fVp2innp1gbtU who is gonna be the one Live Napalm records. There's a part her energy is extra amazing. Second live performance, kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6qlqp1re56NoLM Bad Water official live. No crowls, all clean vocals. Thanks for all your reactions.

[@NoName-kx8kc]

Thumbs up for Lex on this one 👍

[@laxstateofmind]

Check out Twelve Foot Ninja “Over and Out” . It features Tatiana and she does only clean singing. The music video is absolutely wild (includes a skit at beginning and end), the song is killer

[@kaisentitan8653]

The singer from jinger is amazing

[@skullduggery1616]

Love y'all reactions!! Killer track; it takes a few listens to really begin to follow it, but then becomes one of their best!! Jinjer just played Hellfest (a remote show), and it's INCREDIBLE!!! They play Vortex at the very end. Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKq4Zn6DlKZ3ppY

[@davidsimonds7963]

Ok Brad check out Jinjer captain clock lyric video. The band puts alot of visual work into their lyric videos.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

Their best lyric video is No Hoard Of Value.

[@MLuxemburg]

Yes: both of these!

[@isabellarocks1000]

Please check out Make them suffer - contraband it is featuring the vocalist from spiritbox. Her vocals flow so well with Sean's

Always have the lyrics up for metal. Always.

[@acemodez3169]

Oh no!, it's over 🤣🤣

[@reneschoeman485]

there is no beat to catch my friends, they run on 2 - 3 different time signatures simultaneously at times, its also why they have their own unique sound

[@hclyrics]

Spiritbox - Blessed Be

[@filipinodad6837]

Brad and Lex I would like to share with you that growling and screaming in metal is taught. There are vocal teachers that can teach you. I would also like you to know that the growl comes from the stomach. There are regular vocals that someone like Katy Perry would have then there are vocal cords called “Fauls cords and Vocal frie”. Most gutteral growling is fauls cords..btw I saw some comment saying this was Deathcore. This is not Deathcore. Deathcore is it’s own sub genre of Deathmetal

[@maciejdabrowski6694]

Brad can’t connect with Jinjer but I like to watch him trying

[@miksun8377]

Youre close to the point, where your are rdy for some "Infant Annihilator" ;)

[@frankhermansen243]

Only midway through the video. The song (I think) is about negative thought running wild, growing, fu... Up your life

[@Swollen_Goat]

You really need to do Spiritbox now. Some Blessed Be. Holly Roller. Rule of Nines. Or Circle With Me. You wanna see another AMAZING female power vocalist.

[@bob-a-saursrex3662]

You guys have to check out some 12ft ninja, Tatiana said in an interview that 12ft ninja was a big influence on them and Tatiana has a guest appearance on the new 12ft ninja single and video.

Don’t worry if you have trouble following or head banging to the beat on this one, it’s a very complex song! It gets better and more fun with every listen
