Love your reactions! If this makes you brave enough to look at the more extreme side of metal, I'd recommend either O Father O Satan O Sun by Behemoth or To the Hellfire by Lorna Shore

[@SparkimusPrime]

From Jinjer: Perennial live at Waken 2019; Teacher, Teacher; Vortex; Home Back; Wallflower; I Speak Astronomy; Sit, Stay, Rollover; Retrospection Live in Kiev; Judgement and Punishment one take vocal performance. Or anything else, in any order, because it’s seriously all good 🖤

[@coder4liberty]

Excellent analysis. Not that many people get it. As far as lyrics and vocal ability goes Perennial live at Wacken Open Air and Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv would be good ones for reactions. Having said that they have so many good songs it's hard to suggest just two. I usually just post the KZbin playlist I listen to pretty regularly. Any of those including the two I just mentioned would be good ones to check out kzbin.info/aero/PLhlYsqoR9XLEpHTbaOovrpa1p8L2uZ81G

[@SabreNation1]

Hi Knox, allow me to introduce you to Tatiana Shmayluk. She's from Ukraine, she goes by "Tati", she is one of the most gifted vocalists you'll ever see, and she enjoys long walks on the beach and melting reactors' brains. Yes that's her real voice and she is just as impressive live. If you want to verify that I would recommend their performance of Perennial live at Wacken. Absolutely stunning performance. Also of note with Jinjer - the band is phenomenal. They get overlooked sometimes... I'm sure you can understand why but they are amazing musicians. Everything they play is airtight, they're always perfectly in sync with each other and Tati. One of my favorite bands around even though I'm not usually a big fan of super harsh metal vocals.

[@_Umbrael_]

I actually got to see her live awhile ago when they were in Austin, Texas.

[@deliriousgeorge2879]

Let’s go Buffalo!

[@williamallen7984]

Spot on with everything. It always makes me chuckle because this song and video was meant to be a showcase for the new drummer and…well, it became everybody’s first experience with the band lol

[@Defenestrate96]

I finally got to see them on their last US tour this last fall! Absolutely crushed it, one of my favorite live shows I've been to.

JINJER - Judgement (& Punishment) - Tatiana Shmayluk - One Take Vocal Performance

[@Jonathan-A.C.]

It is seriously astounding how well you heard those lyrics. I'm pretty used to listening to harsh vocals and still deciphering what the lyrics are, but you did that on the first listen, in spades, and did even better than that. You *very* accurately heard what she said, and you fully comprehended the meaning of it, and connected the song together very beautifully (I literally didn't even realize all of the lyrical meanings, and I've listened to and sung the song multiple times). I feel like this is where you are best as an artist, that being understanding and speaking the language that another artist or artists speak (I mean that both literally and figuratively)

[@seandan7873]

Yeah, having the lyrics up in front of him helps.

[@ianjohnson171]

You can see him glance to his left whenever she sings, he's reading the lyrics.

[@psilocyble3053]

​@@seandan7873 His reactions are well rehearsed that's for sure.

[@gagetaylor192]

@@psilocyble3053 Just because he has lyrics pulled up doesn't mean he already listened to the music and staged the reactions. And I also don't see anything wrong with having lyrics pulled up anyways because if you know you're gonna be listening to a metal song it's probably useful to actually know what's being said.

[@flakman1]

The lyricism is even more impressive when you realize she writes all of her lyrics and symbolism in Russian and then translates it to English. You can tell as you listen to more of their music how this sometimes gets things a little inconsistent, but honestly, their music and lyrics are absolutely incredible.

[@odiprofanumvulgus1386]

"Meet me when the winter cries" meaning since she is a fish you can meet her when water is created by the melting of the snow at the ending of winter. So beautiful

[@danielbeck9310]

Tatiana and bassist Eugene are both Pisces, and they worked together on the lyrics to this song. Today is actually Eugene's birthday. Tatiana's is the 15th. She writes the large majority of the lyrics for their songs, and she is an absolutely incredible lyricist, on top of being best female vocalist on the planet! You haven't seen anything yet. This band doesn't have a single bad song to their name. Hope you continue down the rabbit hole. You won't be disappointed! I recommend Teacher Teacher. She even does a little rapping in that one.

[@grabble7605]

"Tatiana and bassist Eugene are both Pisces." What a meaningless statement.

[@tristantknight]

Struggled to grasp why them being pisces was relevant lmao

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Wow, s-tier lyrics breakdown. Great work! Tati is an introvert, chronically depressed, and shy when she isn't performing but has learned to transform herself into what her art needs her to be. Whatever you do next will be awesome because their lyrics are always amazing. Some that I'd recommend are Perennial at Wacken to see them onstage in the standard followup to Pisces, Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv for possibly their finest concert video, Judgement and Punishment one take for a bit of reggae and lots of real talk, and Home Back official about their hometown in eastern Ukraine getting caught in the 2014 war that set the stage for the current invasion. Subbed. Cheers!

[@lauracampagna3761]

I’ve listened to this song for more than a year and I learned something from your breakdown. So good! And it was cute watching your facial expressions.

[@paulbunyan513]

That has to be the best reaction to this song that I've seen. We got to see the classic "wtf" when she started growling. But, that's the best lyrical breakdown as well. Great reaction Knox. If you want to see her rap on a song "teacher teacher" live "perennial", one take vocal with just her "judgement and punishment" There are a ton more. What makes the lyrics even more impressive, English isn't her first language

[@averageatbest8146]

I've been a Jinjer Fan for a few years now. I've watched this video 100s of times and probably that many reactions to it. Yours was the best lyrical break down from someone with a different way of looking and connecting things I've seen yet in reactions to this performance. You gave me a different way of connecting her symbolism in her lyrics with Pisces. Loved it man!!

[@joshwilliams8863]

I'll admit, I wasn't expecting too much from "Rapper Reacts" because I've been let down with other reactions, but your analysis of the lyrics and meaning were so good! You just got a sub. I would highly recommend doing more Jinjer breakdowns. Their lyrics are often incredibly deep (not to mention the music and vocals are insane). It gets even more wild when you find out that Tatiana (the lead vocal) generally writes her lyrics in Ukrainian first and they just happen to translate so well into English. Suggestions would be Teacher, Teacher!, Vortex, Wallflower, etc. but almost any song of theirs will be good! On second thought, Teacher Teacher! would be amazing because the verses are delivered in an almost rap style.

[@s1lentsymphony607]

Knox.. my guy. Holy hell man. You absolutely knocked this analysis and reaction out of the park. The shock for you was momentary, but effective. Then you just let the waves sweep you away. This band is something incredibly special. This whole thing, without one of these pieces that exists in the band now? Would fall short. The individual talents are amazing, but the chemistry and how they work together? That's where it really shines. Looking forward to more Metal Monday, and more Jinjer!

[@SparkimusPrime]

Jinjer is my FAVORITE! Tatiana is a beast, and Vlad, Roman, and Eugene are incredible musicians on their own. Together it’s beautiful. And Tati absolutely writes poetry 🖤 Thank you for this! Please do more!!

[@SparkimusPrime]

Vlad is the drummer, he’s a classically trained pianist. Roman is the guitar player. Eugene is the bassist. 🖤

@@TheSaltyGranny She does use a small hall-effect, but its very subtil. So it´s mainly just her amazing skill.

[@SabreNation1]

@@TheSaltyGranny That's 100% her. Well 95% her - there's a backing track but that's just adding a second "layer" of the vocals. If you want to see further proof that she can really do that, they have plenty of live videos available as well - Perennial Live at Wacken is the one most people go to, super popular video and a great song. While not a live concert, there is a studio one take video for Judgement & Punnishment where you can also clearly see there are no tricks or studio magic, those vocals are coming from Tati.

[@STILL-KICKIN]

The vocals are astonishing for sure but can we also acknowledge how tight and talented that band is?? Amazing musicians!

[@NyxOleander]

This was an incredible reaction! I was hoping you had more of Jinjer.😁

[@CarBENbased]

Welcome Knox, finally... FINALLY, to the world of Jinjer. Expect the Jinjer army to come out for this one, we never get tired of first reactions to this song. Jinjer is a band that you can really dive deep into and discover something new with every song as they blend a lot of different styles and genres in with their own. I'd recommend checking out the following next. Judgement and Punishment - One Take Vocal Performance Perennial - Live at Wacken Open Air 2019 Teacher Teacher

[@danidynamite2]

I love how even when you were blown away by Tatiana's voice you were still analyzing the lyrics. You're also one of the few reactors who didn't instantly jump to questioning if it was really her screaming. If I wasn't already subscribed before this video I would've been hitting the subscribe button for that. And I hope you go down the Jinjer rabbithole. I'd recommend Vortex, Teacher Teacher, and Crime an Punishment. Particularly Teacher Teacher from a lyrical standpoint cuz you seem to question authority so I could see you appreciating that one quite a bit. Sidenote, what makes her lyrics even more impressive is that English is her 3rd or 4th language and she writes all the lyrics herself.

[@joeseconi250]

Teacher Teacher Official Live video is defiantly the next stop on the Jinjer train

[@Mobiwraith]

Bro, the fact that you pieced all that together by just listening to the song and having no screaming vocal experience....huge props man.

[@henrydenner5448]

Even her voice in this song is an example of duality. The tender soft melodic tone juxtaposed with the deep scream vocal. So she portrays the central Pisces idea both in the words, and in the way she sings the song.

[@philsilverthorn]

As much as I love seeing new reactors get blown away by the switch in Tatiana's voice it is the musicianship and the lyrical depth that makes this song special to me.

[@no1bandfan]

“I’m going to murder a teddy bear tonight!” Well, that brought me a laugh. I’ll sub for that. Please keep doing Metal Monday’s.

[@truknz71]

Jinjer: No hoard of value, Just Another, Vortex, Teacher,Teacher, Until the End are all great videos for you to react to.

[@TheJokesterSCR]

The way she chose to go back and forth with the heavy and soft vocals also was part of the representation of that duality of Pisces. The whole song was so cleverly put together.

[@Ichthyodactyl]

Lots of people who are fans of Jinjer consider this to be one of their weaker songs but it'll probably always be one of my favorites. The duality in all aspects of the composition is just really gorgeous to me. Also recommend the official video for Teacher Teacher.

[@felinekaiju4517]

Personally, the songs of duality that they do are always my favourite. Then again, it's the gravitas that the changes create that make it so much stronger. I'm totally with you.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

That's definitely the conventional wisdom and even the band weren't that thrilled by at least the album version of it. Now, maybe Vlad fixed that stuff with his formal education but either way I can see why they'd have problems. It's a fairly standard song structure so getting it to Jinjer standards of uniqueness was probably hard. In particular, doing the same transitions in a way that was unique within the song and individually really interesting was probably hard. But in a way, pulling it off as well as this version manages to makes their skills all the more impressive.

[@Ichthyodactyl]

@@j.f.fisher5318 I mean Vlad definitely killed it in this version and I do think it is the better one, for sure.

[@whereisamelia]

Lol nope 😂 Pisces is a solid 11/10

[@RedEyesTops]

Wait really? I always thought this was one of their popular songs. It's the one that got me into them as well

[@Bobbias]

Everything about this track is classy as hell. Even the harsh parts. Out of the few women who do harsh vocals, almost none of them are able to produce growls and screams that sound so much like what men produce. It's a testament to how hard she worked to perfect her sound. Typically women who do harsh vocals have a very distinctly different sounds.

[@matttake4852]

She has too. She can go pretty low on her gutturals but you can still recognize that is not a man doing the growls, and there is nothing bad on it. Nowdays there are A LOT of women who do harsh vocals and there are some that you literally can't tell if is a man or not (like Cerebral Bore, to say a band somewhat "famous"), but imo everyone has a different scream, and it is ok. I spent years trying to become like Philip Labonte from ATR (I love his mids), but I'm better on tunnel growls and gutturals, I can do mids too but they are not as good, I stopped trying to be someone else and now I'm enjoing what I can do best

[@ArinaThomsen]

Pisces in astrology symbolizes the union of life and death: one fish is alive and goes upstream, the other is dead is dragging the live fish to the bottom. It is the duality of human life, our desires and reality that can kill us or bring us to full potential. You had the best reaction on KZbin. I am totally with you. I also appreciate how you took time to point out the meaningful lyrics.

[@dyno241]

Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole. Bring your own tea and hats, because it's a mad party down here! They are one of the best bands out there. I've been stunned by their versatility. Both Tatiana (the singer) and the rest of the band are incredible. I don't remember if you've reacted to Spiritbox in the past, but the two bands share a lot of qualities. If you haven't heard of them, I highly recommend them as well. Although I suggest that you continue with Jinjer for a while yet. Tatiana is...something else. Watch her one-take live performance of "Judgement (& Punishment)" and you'll see what I mean.

Hey Knox, I love this song and props for being able to pick out the screamed lyrics the first time through. This song is close to Tatianna's heart (The lead vocalist.) Being a Pisces herself, and there was a nod to that as well in the earring she wore during this live session. Love the video's and keep up the hustle! If you want to hear more from this band, I suggest you check out Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019).

[@avtomatt554]

They're among the best to do it, currently. This isn't even their most impressive song (instrument or vocal wise), it's just the most surprising, so a lot of people recommend it as an intro to them. If no one has mentioned it, they are actually from the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, which has been one of the hardest hit and most embattled areas during the war. Luckily they were able to leave the country. I'm not sure about the rest of the band, but the singer Tatiana was able to move to California and is currently engaged to one of the members of Suicide Silence (I'm not sure who, not really familiar with that band). The fact English is not her first language makes her brilliant lyrics all the more incredible. And you nailed the interpretation of this song.

[@MetalMinion3]

Whichever song you choose as the next Jinger song, your can't go wrong. I suggest "Teacher, Teacher!" or "Wallflower" though.

[@Quizzy0000]

in the hard part the first part she sings ''scale armored bellies'' alot of sites say blaze but she is singing about fish (pisces) edit: Yes the emeralds are the scales when ppl clean the fish they remove the scales. they scrape them off.

[@JakeKoenig]

I love how he's doing his usual bar breakdowns before realizing the entire point of Jinger reactions is just to see people's faces when she goes into her death metal growl.

[@Zayamad]

So the emeralds are fish scales, and the first line of the chorus is "Scale armor belies virgin innocence." That breakdown was phenomenal for your first time hearing it!

My fav reactor and my fav Prog Metal band. What a blessed Monday! Enjoying you from Fredneck. Epic reaction and amazing job (as usual) deciphering the growl lyrics, my friend! Oh, and the magic of them. They are from Ukraine (the part under attack - See Home Back for the song about the 2014 Russian attacks). She writes all of the lyrics in Russian after the guys write the music. She then translates all of the lyrics to English.

[@nyxxystyx]

Could not have nailed the meaning of the song closer to the head, though I cannot say I'm surprised in the least. Jinjer is a phenomenal band all around, and Tatiana is a monster of a vocalist! This kind of modern metal is always a treat, and I am always happy to see where the journey takes you! Wonderful reaction, as always! Another suggestion you might like is Thornhill, specifically their album The Dark Pool. Anything from that LP is amazing and should definitely be experienced all the way through, but a good reaction would definitely be Nurture, Red Summer, Lily & The Moon, Coven, or Where We Go When We Die. Stay jazzy!

By far the best reaction to the very popular song by Jinjer! I also checked a few of your other METAL MONDAYS videos and they are pure gold! I discovered your channel today by accident and I was immediately blown away. It is so rare to see someone putting a real effort to understand what the songs mean and what they are really about. There are endless sea of reaction channels in KZbin without any real content, very few have anything worthy to say. You are one of the good ones. Thank you! And keep up the good work! Cheers! 🤘

Easily one of my favorite bands these days. I hate that I missed them after having tickets before covid hit. I would suggest, with the war in Ukraine still waging on, please react to the music video for "Home Back." Not only is it a killer song, it's very relevant despite it being about a previous conflict.

[@crhu319]

It's the same conflict. The West faked the Minsk accords and armed up Nazis to prolong it to this day.

[@basstheory9384]

This is one of my favorite songs from this group!

[@TheViralInfekT]

I love these lyrics focused dissections. Your ability to hone in onto the lyrics and understand even the wonkiest delivered lines fascinates me :)

[@moireth1460]

Good to see you branch out my Dude. This song has always reverberated my soul and you did a fantastic breakdown.

[@RyanPennington87]

She’s just as good live. It’s incredible

[@lunarevel]

Yessss I’m so glad you went with this song. I’d love for you to check out Rule of Nines by Spiritbox, especially if you liked this

[@valthewolf5295]

Absolutely love the lyrics analysis! People often get lost in her astonishing voice and forget to look at the brilliant lyrics. Bro really got the vibes of the song.

[@adamboise3907]

Man I have been waiting for this breakdown to happen every since you started doing metal Mondays. You did not disappoint. Loved this breakdown bro.

[@simonadams8770]

Yep 03:39 in and there’s the look. Hahahahahaha. Hey Knox if you thought your Tom reactions got clicks wait until all the Jinjer fans see there’s a new reaction. Respect brother

[@SparkimusPrime]

Jinjer Army is strong as hell

[@FloridaRocks]

👊

[@thomasallisonstabler3478]

Knox, your reaction videos are in a league of their own. I enjoy the others that breakdown the singing techniques and technicalities but I have never seen anyone that can wrangle the lyrics the way you can. In my non-expert opinion, you are a true lyricist! Keep up the excellent work good sir!

[@FolloMeto]

wow out of all the reactions and breakdowns i have seen from you this by far was the best imo BRAVO i am soooo impressed

[@phoenixthefawkes]

I loved your reaction here, also I think you nailed it on the lyrical breakdowns!

[@Teazel_McGillicuddy]

Jinjer - Teacher, Teacher

[@ashvandal5697]

I fucking way! My favorite reaction anyone can do

[@reboot_2.00]

This is one of the very best reactions I've seen to date! Well done!

[@zanesayese]

This by far was thee best reaction or more or less my favorite reaction on your channel thus far haha loved it all

[@bartekjedrzejczak3048]

You are another victim of our "Jinjer" community... Mind blowing (as always)

[@davidforrester303]

Jinjer is my absolute favorite band live. What you are seeing is real, they do it live, she does it live and it is spot on to the videos you see of them. Thanks Knox for showing this off. Impressive huh?

[@shannonmanning6166]

She switches easily back and forth between smooth and scream because of the technique: she is the master of the false-fold scream, which uses the vocal folds that we use for a deep cough, not the speaking or singing vocal folds. In some other tunes she switches back and forth multiple times in one line. To say she's amazing is putting it lightly.

[@jefftodd6384]

The best analysis of the songs meaning I have ever heard!. Excellent breakdown my friend.

[@lukehiggs8250]

Love this band seen them live 4 time

[@SparkimusPrime]

They’re so good live ❤️‍🔥

[@jamesheath9514]

I've seen them 2 times. Will be 3 this summer

[@lukehiggs8250]

Amazing live

[@lukehiggs8250]

Jinjer teacher teacher is amazing song

[@jamesheath9514]

@@lukehiggs8250 Judgement and Punishment live is my favorite

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Considering Tatiana is presented with pretty much complete demos of each song (& some of the lads' compositions are eyebrow-raisingly complex), to which she then needs to decide what she is going to compose from scratch, come up with vocal melody lines & lyrics which match the feel of the musical composition, & have the results consistently come out as flawlessly as she does.... well, it's hella impressive imho. Even more so when you consider she writes the lyrical content in her native Russian, then translates into English, then tweaks for rhyme scheme etc. She puts many natively English speaking artists/bands to shame. The lads' compositions over the last couple of albums, & particularly thru the most recent "Wallflowers" is truly *next level* btw. Not a reaction vid request, but just for your own enjoyment, treat yourself to their gorgeous thru-composed (coz #WhoNeedsChoruses, that's why!) single "Vortex" sometime. If you're not impressed, I'll give you your money back myself!! ;)

[@gosborg]

That was some really great analysis. You tuned in fast to the themes of the song. Great reaction, too, to the big reveal. What’s less obvious on first listening is the excellent musicianship and songwriting skills of the band, as well as all the production work that has made this “live” session sound so smooth, so rich, so clear yet so powerful. This song is a masterpiece.

[@millercalen]

Finally! Been waiting for you to catch this one!
