[@TheMuserResolute]

Apologies for some of the editing here (with the focusing in) - There was an issue twice, but i'm embracing it (I know what the problem was and will definitely make sure it doesn't happen again) Thanks for everyone who watched and commented :)

[@raktjalp525]

np, it was still a really great video

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thank you 😊

[@muhammadrobiul8245]

Please react on "The 99 Names” kzbin.info/www/bejne/opjQZKOrhZing6M By Singer Atif Aslam From #Cokestudio 😁

[@ChrisPage68]

To answer your query about Vlad (the drummer), in technical terms, he is what we would call "an absolute beast". 😁

[@SupaBeluga]

I actually enjoyed the weird edits lol!

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Great reaction and analysis. Your perception of the meaning is very close to what they have said about their intentions. Forms of authority that are common targets of Jinjer songs include government, corporations, religion, and society at large. They have also mentioned with respect to this song folks online cramming their opinions down everyone else's throats. Vlad does use double kicks. Vlad is the only member of the band with significant formal training, originally in piano, though he plays guitar as well, and obviously drums. Tatiana had a few months of of training in clean singing in school and is otherwise self taught, as are Roman on guitar and Eugene on bass. Vlad's deeper understanding of music theory has helped him play a big role in composition on Micro and Macro. Roman's ability to come up with a seemingly endless variety of riffs, and Eugene's creativity on the bass are great too. I'd recommend Perennial live at Wacken next. I see a lot of requests for Who Is Gonna Be The One - it is my favorite song but is about 80% growls. The lyrics are pretty straightforward as a all-in protest song, so it should be pretty easy to follow with the lyrics though. Cheers!

[@eqgilethan]

If I want to hear the whole song without interruptions, I'll go to the original video (which I actually did for this same video a few hours ago). I clicked on THIS video because I wanted to hear thoughts, opinions, and some interesting pointers from a music teacher about this song... and that means interruptions. There's no need to apologize for that. One point, I do like the fact that you back up just a few seconds when you restart video. Thank you!

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thank you 😊 I appreciate this. People have been soo lovely an understanding. I’m always doing my best to improve, and things like backing up before pressing play was very quickly learnt from taking advice from viewers. Thanks so much for watching!

[@nicoo0912]

I love your reactions, super entretaining. Keep it up!! I absolutely love Nightwish and Jinjer and you are reacting to both!!

[@TrialsOfOne]

The look of amazement on your face is awesome!

[@hugovergara4507]

Excelente! Precisión reaction ever! Thank You. Please Check Speak Astronomy. Jinjer is hiden treasure... And Tatiana!

[@Chello53427]

Definitely check out Perennial (live at wacken) and also Who Is Gonna Be The One (live). Both amazing tracks and live performances 👌🏻

[@dbell582]

Your reaction: On point Your face at the end: Priceless Loved it!

[@ionystherogue5627]

I really enjoy your genuine love of music. Makes watching your reactions a very enjoyable experience. If you ever do any Slipknot you should do: Eyeless, Everything ends, Three Nil, Snuff, Sulfur, Kill pop, Orphan, Birth of the Cruel.

[@tommyjohnson9175]

I heard it was about rebellion against Catholic School.. I think you called it "silences", we call that a "drop". The triple time sections are called "Blast Beats".. and the section just before the end when the vocals and the instruments died out is called a "stop"...

[@Georgithedog]

Its a little early in your reaction career but you are nailing it! Don't jump straight into this but check out Alex Terrible and his band "Slaughter to Prevail - Demolisher" and also Alex Terrible's pop covers would highly recommend "Sia - Chandelier" but first more Jinjer, more Nightwish and some Ne Obliviscaris =D Bet you didn't think you would be reacting to this kind of music, gotta love the internet!

[@TheMuserResolute]

I'm so happy to be listening to all the new music I have been and discovering all these amazing artists!

[@Georgithedog]

@@TheMuserResolute The internet will deliver =D

[@matteomuscas8974]

I'm new to this amazingly good reaction channel. If rythm is a big thing for you, you have to check at least a few Meshuggah songs. Dancers to a discordant system is one of the absolute best and underrated for me, but everybody starts from bleed. If you listen to bleed first, know those you are hearing arent triplets. You will get it.

JINJER - Who Is Gonna Be The One (Live)

[@Hynsson]

Really like your professional approach. The lyrics are afaik about any authority figure and indoctrination.

[@davidgordon796]

Great reaction keep the reactions coming

[@BOOMBiggityBam]

Perennial live at Wacken 2019 showcases her vocals going straight from growls to cleans from one word to the next. Plus it's a fantastic song 😁 keep in mind that it is the last song of the set and she is just as good as in studio. The whole band kills it live!

[@dwarvensmith80]

I agree with Perennial at Wacken is amazing but you gave up the surprise for him already. For voice/music teachers you gotta keep it being the last song in the set a surprise. Just like the chorus in Pisces, it needs to be a surprise. Perennial is a great showcase for her vocal power but Who Is Going To Be The One is an amazing showcase for her energy and joy on stage and the absolute awesomeness that are the band.

[@ФуадМамедов-т7б]

Yes Perennial live wacken 2019, would be a good next one.

[@arc6017]

This!

[@MichellePlaysGames]

Wonderful reaction, thank you! And please, don't apologize for pausing! I much prefer that to other so-called "reactions" where people just stare at the video blankly for a few minutes and then end their video like "Ok, that was Teacher Teacher by Jinjer, please like and subscribe"... without saying anything about the song at all! :) You're doing a great job!

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thanks so much for the encouragement :)

[@KnowBotty]

Honestly if I am watching a reaction, I would much rather watch one from someone like MTR. He fully adds to the song and makes you appreciate something you may already like even more. Richard Feynman once said about his artist friend getting angry because he couldn't appreciate the beauty of a rose, "I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty." The more you understand something the more beautiful it becomes. Reactions like this broaden peoples understandings and are a great service. TLDR: keep pausing!

[@Krothu]

Yeah, we are here for a reaction. If I wanna listen to the song without the pausing and comments I can just do that. Keep pausing and comment, it's why we are here

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thank you to the both of you :). I love listening to new music and giving my analysis, and i'm learning so much from all of you. My metal knowledge is subpar, and i'm learning so much from all the comments here!

[@j.f.fisher5318]

@@TheMuserResolute there are plenty of folks just listening to the song, spitting out their drink when Tati growls, weeping, laughing, running around the room etc but not really contributing anything for folks that are into that. My only complaint is you apologizing for being yourself and doing your thing haha. ;)

[@robinbrown7375]

"Who Is Gonna Be The One" (Live) | Napalm Records A true live performance with a twisted ending! You'll love it!

And if you like the ending a lot: Judgment & Punishment live in Melbourne!

[@MartinFransson]

Agreed! That's the one that got me hooked.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Everyone: What time signature do you guys use? Jinjer: Yes

[@kim_o_the_concrete_jungle]

"Wait... We were supposed to choose just the one?"

[@Osiris_24]

Honestly, majority of this song is actually in 4/4 haha. A lot of accents (especially through out the verses) give off the sense of constant changes measure changes. Not to say they don't ever use multiple time sigs in songs though!

[@micheledianemiller4589]

@@Osiris_24 So many time changes .... Even between each musician...

[@Osiris_24]

@@micheledianemiller4589 oh there are definitely some but not as many as it sounds like. Most of it is polymeter stuff that goes quite nicely over a 4/4 base. In saying that, I quite frequently count in 8th notes in my head which makes it easier to force hearing it like that. No one right way of hearing something I guess! :)

[@LuiWallentinGttler]

Next up from Jinjer is Perennial live at Wacken 2019. Just so you get to see them live at a concert.

[@frankhermansen7669]

And we can't wait another month 😄

[@gh8447]

Given that Jinjer are Ukrainian, I imagine they attended Eastern Orthodox schools. The obvious conclusion is that the lyrics are about Orthodox / Catholic schooling (I'll probably get haters for the O/C correlation, but hey... go read up on the Great Western / East-West / Great Schism of 1054 and quit your whining), and the lyrical imagery would certainly attest to that. However, great lyrics are rarely that simple, and the lyrical imagery here could easily be metaphorical or an allegory.

[@stfrodric]

The important distinction is that after the USSR broke up the Orthodox Church entered a resurgent period marked by some serious push into public life. I believe most of the band went to state schools but that the Faculty may have been part of the Church's proselytizing campaign in schools which they had formerly been somewhat prohibited from. A bit of irony, Tatiana is certified in Literature(?) and Eugene in Music which would allow either to teach in the school system.

[@MrLuxNsk]

Well, maybe not exactly. We dont have much of these religious-based schools in (mostly) Christian parts of the ex-USSR.

[@adrianojameson629]

Well, your imagination is completely wrong :-)

[@vetal215]

All schools in Ukraine are state or private. There are only very small amount Sunday schools.

[@andrewdence8632]

It's so amazing how silence is such a strong statement in a song. Her voice is so melodic. Loving the variety of music you do your "reactionalysis" to. I wouldn't of found out who this band is if it wasn't for you, thanks bud! As always, you're doing a fantastic job!

[@TheMuserResolute]

I'm so glad i'm introducing people to new music!! This is all new stuff for me too and i'm so glad i'm on this journey discovering songs and artists I would not have otherwise heard. It's the best professional development I could have asked for!

[@barefootalien]

"The idea behind the song is about people that dictate their agenda by means of their status, position, or just their Internet claim to fame in order to impose their opinion on to others but those opinions aren't based on experience nor knowledge." ~Jinjer So yeah, good job on the analysis, at least in catching that it's not really about schools. Also, at 11:50, I think that was probably written in 12/8, which is reasonably pedestrian as metal goes. If you really want a hard time counting out rhythms, check out some Dream Theater! Odd time signatures are their bread and butter, with 5/8, 7/8, and 9/8 commonplace, along with occasional craziness like alternating measures of 17/16 and 13/16, or even what's known in prog metal as "stop time", which isn't counted at all, but just *felt* by the entire band in perfect unison with silence in between.

[@Manu-Official]

The more I watch that Vlad dude, the more I see he is fluent in Whatever/8. Also found out recently that he plays guitar right handed (he's hitting the drums open handed leftie), piano, and has some serious musical background.

[@erikmorte1010]

Yes, Perennial at Wacken (Vacken) 2019 you should check out because there is a in full live performance concert (the last song of the performance) i would like to hear your oppinion (normally i hear music coachs while at work and i learn pretty much!) THANKS for your technical comments and knowledge about the people's shows to you! This kind of songs are those that i have to hear numerous times to catch all the instruments are doing specially with that rythmic patterns, may be cuz Im very slow to catch all the sounds at same time and i dedicate to hear each instrument per each time i hear the songs... i would like what do you think about this and the song Perennial too... Greetings from Mexico!

one big drawback from Jinjer-binging is that I need a shower every thirty minutes, even if i stay completely still

[@kurtthevillain6012]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again now...stop all you want. You do it right when you pause, give your feed back, and go back 15 seconds. Talking over a song means you may miss something and watching someone sit there at watch a video, until the end, isn’t a real reaction. Good work and keep doing what you’re doing

[@mormacil]

On the swing, there's a reason they;re sometimes called groove metal. They also have quite a bit of a reggae influence.

[@TheMuserResolute]

Ohhh I didn't even realise!!! Thanks :)

[@ralflukas9695]

Tatiana once stated that she is a fan of Bob Marley. On her right forearm she has a portrait of Amy Winehouse blended with a portrait of painter Frida Kahlo tatooed (who she considers her inspirations).

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Also various forms of Jazz. Beggar's Dance is a short outro from their King Of Everything album without a video, but it is incredibly fun and always puts a smile on my face. If you don't want to react to it it is well worth listening to for fun.

[@ChrisPage68]

"Who are your influences?" Tatiana : "Everyone."

[@Strathaczar]

@@TheMuserResolute listen to Judgement (& Punishment) and you'll see how influenced by reggae they are!

[@cooltechnician]

Awesome reaction and musical analysis. The lyrics refer mainly as not to obey all kinds of authority such as in education, religion or politics. We could listen to some stuff from other people with more experience than ourselves but then We have the virtues to think for ourselves and be critical about what's going on around us. Tatiana's lyrics are awesome and insightful most of the time. Please react to Perennial (my favourite by them) but then try to di a double feature: first the official video and after the live video from Wacken 2019... that is just something amazing to watch. Cheers from Norway

No apologies necessary for the pauses friend. I love hearing your breakdown and you always rewind so you don't miss anything. Very well done.

[@williamcody3415]

They have a Unique style for sure. they can also trick your ear sometimes. If you notice the outro is just the same as the "blast beat " part. The guitar and bass are essentially the same but master music mind, Vlad, just changed what he is doing and it sounds completely different.

[@LuiWallentinGttler]

The drummer Vladislav is using a double bass drum pedal. Which means you have the right foot pedal, and then another pedal for the left foot that connects to a second beater on right foot pedal via a propshaft / driveshaft. And this in essence gives you a double kick using only one drum.

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thank you for the explanation! This is why I love doing this, i get to learn so much more than I didn't know! Those rhythms were too ridiculously fast for one foot 😂

[@LuiWallentinGttler]

@@TheMuserResolute You're welcome :D. Maybe Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden might be able to do it with one foot. But his right foot is also ridiculous ha ha.

[@Manu-Official]

Isn't that weird, left handed on hands and right footed on the main foot....

[@LuiWallentinGttler]

@@Manu-Official He is right handed, but he plays open hands style like Simon Phillips (Toto) and Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band). True left handed drummers most of the time turn the whole kit around like Dominic Howard (Muse) ... You know like a mirror image of a righty kit. Open handed style is most used by right handed drummers (to my knowledge) who wants more freedom and not cross their hands. But ideally you want to adapt to that style before you are 25 years old, and the brain still has some plasticity. In an interview Vladislav says that the open hand style is just more comfortable for him, so my guess is that he adapted to that style pretty early on in his drum journey ;-).

Id describe the time as 12/8, where you can count a whole measure in 4s, with defined off-beats, but most of the rhythms are played in 3, 1+a 2+a 3+a, etc. Great analysis as always, I love how excited you get when you hear small changes or inflections, both in the band and tati.

[@strasserts]

best analysis from the best band. they just one of the most talented band ever. Jesus Christ. Thei're gods that came to Earth, Tatiana, Eugene, Vlad and Roman are just perfect together and they are all amazing technically, each one in their one function, absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD. Nice work man, youre the best analist i found on youtube, keep on it please and bring us more!! "Who is gonna be the one" is an amazing work (song) they have too. You have too many songs that you could present and analyse in your channel, but I think you should show us "Words of wisdom", "On the top" or "Judgement (& Punishment)". Cheers

Thank you for your great reaction, this is a revisit after I first watched this a year ago, as good on the second watch as the first. Please check out some of there other stuff, I recommend the following: 'Perennial' live at Wacken open air festival from 2019, 'Judgement (and Punishment)' Tatiana's one-take vocal version, and their latest video 'Vortex'.

I appreciate your cerebral reaction the way you dissect the song to the complex rhythms, music structure, and lyrical meanings. Look forward to more Jinjer reactions.

[@aidensvocals2479]

A really cool song that I recommend is Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail. Not only is Alex Terrible their vocalist Awesome but the entire band can be picked apart and listened to. Its also fast and really just a wall of energy.

[@Death2Dust]

Nah bro, check out On The Top live by Jinjer. I think you'd enjoy it more than Who Is Gonna Be The One and Perennial because of the structure of the song.

[@vodkarage8227]

Teacher does not stand for just school or political, it could be your parents, grandparents, a club, an individual. We have all met a person that demands that you believe what they say, always right. Or those who believe they are a moral authority. To me, this song says listen, but make your own decisions, don't blindly follow.

[@ericsteffen6258]

The greatest thing is jinjer-pisces is like rabbit hole. I‘ve probably seen every reaction to this song on youtube and it never stays on just 1 jinjer song. All the reactors come back to other songs like teacher, teacher or perennial Great professional reaction👍🏻

The song meaning is metaphorical and about not blindly following authority figures because they often are just fools and bullies and to stand up for yourself and stand up to them when they do.

I'd love to see your reaction and analysis on "I Speak Astronomy". It's a very complex and sonically interesting piece that doesn't quite get the love I feel it deserves. Perennial is great, of course, but I think the composition of Astronomy might be something you would enjoy dissecting. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

[@raktjalp525]

Try to react to the song demolisher from the vocalist alex terrible. Hes an amazing russian metal vocalist who is undoubtedly the best there is at what he does.

[@jasminejo2424]

i had always assumed this song was about catholic school wich even monty python loved poking fun at for its archaic form of tutoring and discipline. i have a friend that was sent to a religious school as it was the only school in the area and because he was atheist they treated him very poorly wich i think is wrong as a school should always be a place of learning and encouragment first and anything else seccond

[@ralflukas9695]

That was a nice reaction. I think you are right with your interpretation of the song. It is not specifically about school, but more about authorities that want you to believe everything they are telling (teaching) you and that you should rather have an open mind and think for yourself and not being afraid or ashamed of it. Don't let authorities blame you for not following blindly everything someone else claims being the truth or the only right answer.

[@Tobyc1315]

I agree. There are people and institutions everywhere that have their own "gospel" or "bibles" that they insist you must follow whether it's the boss at work, or a political party... you MUST think and act this way! My favorite part is when they all yell "Leave us alone!" Amen.

[@ronrestorff4548]

The band has stated that the music is about authority in general with school as a reference point. You are making a common mistake of many people who apply their own experience to the song. This is not a bad thing since good music is universal, but you have to remember that the band is from the Ukraine and their frame of reference in regards to authority is much different than most of the western world.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

As an example, Tatiana has said she feels like a lot of people still have the soviet union in their hearts and minds.

I've seen a lot of Jinjer reactions and I have to say yours is the damn best. Because you look past so much more than just Tatiana's vocals (which are undoubtedly incredible) and see so much of the composition in general, lyrics, technique, phrasing, rhythm, time signatures, and all that by looking so genuinely happy to see music being performed to such an amazing level AND BEING ABLE TO TELL how amazing it is. I absolutely love your little jumps of joy to various sections of the song. One of the few KZbin channels that made me actually LIKE COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE, after watching a vídeo, because of - Professional knowledge - Amazing reaction - Great charisma - Humility and what seems to be a great personality as well. I'm looking foward to your reactions! I would love to see more Jinjer, or if you would like something also great that does things you pointed out, Dream Theater and Opeth are two of my favorites!

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thank you so much for your lovely and kind comment 😊. I’ve had some other suggestions of dream theater, and while I’m uploading reactions to different artists and genres, I’ll be hoping to get to them. In the process, I’m learning so much more about songs and artists I would have otherwise not listened to. Thanks again for your support 🥰

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Another great first run-thru. DON'T apologise for pauses. Folk will love your thoughts on something as complex as this. ;) Always fun to watch folks' eyes narrow when the juicy 4/4 chorus kicks-in, but Vlad the drummer does his best to have you double-guessing the fact (He's a bit of a composer & multi-instrumentalist who I reckon gets bored easily!) LOL The couple of instances of silence in this really do let the sledgehammer drop *so* sweetly immediately after! The quiet section with Roman using clean guitar chords to create a soundscape over which Eugene fingertaps some lovely melody with his right hand while his left is glissing up & down the fat strings (I wish I had his chops- playing & composition).... & then Tatiana comes in with one of her softest ever vocals.... *seriously* inspired stuff imho. I just never get bored of this song. Considering I don't usually countenance growls & screams (the fact I use Soundgarden album names for usernames tells you what I tend to appreciate in vocal performances), this won my song of the year for 2019. Her choices of vocal in conjunction with specific lyrics means I can make out the majority of what she's "saying" before I have to pull up a lyrics sheet, which is a rare talent from my experience. It also blows me away how worthwhile their lyrics are- when you consider English is a 2nd or 3rd language for them, they certainly put a lot of natively-English-speaking bands to shame. p.s. #FcukTheHaters ,altho you seem to tend toward my dour Scotsman motto of #KeepSmilingRegardlessItPissesThemOffNoEnd ,so I daresay they're not getting you down anyhoo! All the best from sunny Scotland. :)

[@evantarracciano4211]

Hey there Mike! Just stumbled across your channel and wanted to offer you both words of praise for a wonderful job as well as some suggestions that you may enjoy in this incredibly vast world of metal music. As you can tell, there are many different genres and subgenres that you might not be familiar with, so I wanted to give you a few recommendations that will both generate clicks and be a worthwhile listen. Starting off with Hard Rock (generally a little lighter and easier to understand than metal) I'd go with Breaking Benjamin. They have a vast catalog, but "Diary of Jane" would be a good starting point. Moving along to folk metal, Amorphis is a wonderful band that blends unique elements and historical-based lyrics. They have a song called "The Bee" which is fantastic. For metalcore (a little heavier than hard rock with some screaming), Veil of Maya is one of the best. They just put out a brand new song called "Outsider" that is phenomenal. Delving a little harder is deathcore, with a lot of growls and screaming and very fast guitars with some solos thrown in. A band called "Fit for an Autopsy" is one of my favorite, and they have a song called "Black Mammoth" that sends a wonderful political message. There is a subgenre called djent that focuses on heavy bass lines - the most notable band that you'll come across there is called Meshuggah. Their song "Bleed" is very popular on reaction channels. Anyway, just wanted to offer a few thoughts your way. Wishing you the best and feel free to send a message my way if you both need a guide to offer advice along the way. Cheers!

It is such a joy to watch your reactions. Your facial expressions are priceless and your verbal reactions are also very expressive and joyful. Your doing everything right with your video’s. Thanks!

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thanks so much for the feedback :)

[@Ineluki_Myonrashi]

I'll take your quirky honest reactionalysis over any polished fake reaction video any day. Subbed.

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thanks for your kind words 😊

A fair amount of metal is actually not 'really' in different time signatures. Often the drummer hits a snare or hihat on a 4/4, this makes the song still danceable while being rhythmically interesting. This happens here aswell, but only becomes apperent once the drummer hits the rim the moment you talk about it. Anyway my 2 cents for what to react on would go towards Architects - Doomsday

[@blindbubba9001]

...normally i dont care for people stopping the video...but you can stop as much as you want cuz.....that jazzie/swing feel is in every jinjer song...those syncopated rhythms are more evident in every one of their songs than any salsa...lol..to me anyway....and your ear is amazing...the explanation of various parts and overall is spot on and explains to those without a trained ear realize the mechanics of just why they love this band so much........inspirational ....thanks cuz....

Thanks soo much for your kind words 😊

I'm loving your reactions! Not only are your expressions very telling, but i also like that the majority of "experts" that react to Jinjer, Nightwish and other metal bands are almost always voice coaches, but you are a music teacher! and your analysis includes a lot of other aspects about the songs. Yes, Tatiana's voice is amazing, but the whole band is full of talent and in your videos i can see finally someone appreciating that as well. Another thing that i would like to point out is your comments about Pink Floyd. Jinjer can be labelled as a progressive death metal band, roughly speaking, the death metal part would be the growling voice and heavier aspects, and the progressive part is characterized for it's odd time signatures and that feeling of hearing 5 different songs within 1. You know which band is one of the most iconic progressive rock bands? Pink Floyd of course! So your comment about their similarities was RIGHT ON POINT. Finally, if you like those odd time signatures and rythm changes, i would love you to react to my favorite band: Dream Theater. Check out their song "Untethered Angel", there's an official video, so just go for that one. I'll suscribe and i'll try to keep you with more metal suggestions that you may like. Keep up the good work!

The joy you show when listing to this is the same I felt, that's why I subbed

[@DougTurley]

When you first mentioned the use of silence, I just had to laugh knowing what was coming.

[@TheMuserResolute]

Yes!! 😂 they really got me at the end!!

[@plompudu2529]

I love metal music because of the breaks because it keeps the music very interesting) One of my Favorite breakdowns is in "To the Grave's" Song "Wastage" I would love you to react to it

[@starlon906]

I know this isn't usually what I comment... I've been going through a bad breakup, she cheated multiple times... I don't know why it broke me this much when she broke up with me. For the last couple of weeks I've been suicidal and I can't seem to get out of it like I usually do. I'm turning to you now, because my friends think it's a joke and I see you as a person that would understand

I love your metal reaction videos. Can't get enough of them. Once you're finished with the amazing Jinjer reactions check out Unleash the Archers - Awakening

[@TheMuserResolute]

Yes a few have requested this! Definitely going onto the list :D

[@Vizual_Racing]

@@TheMuserResolute You will not be disappointed, do finish your Jinjer journey first though. Your reactions to them are truly a blessing to the metal world. I love the raw emotion you have for their music. Keep up the great work.

[@ChrisPage68]

@@TheMuserResolute UTA just released the title track of their new album, Abyss. It's a continuation of the story told in Apex, from which Awakening is the first track.

[@Vizual_Racing]

@@ChrisPage68 I love the new song, but it to me.... is not on the same level as Awakening. I miss the old bass player :(

[@JackWareingFilms]

Maksym Fatullaien is definitely an impressive female death/growl singer. and I have heard some cool metal from Ukraine before for sure. But, honestly the band/music/song sounds like generic thrash metal that just happens to have a female vocalist/singer. It really doesn't sound unique to me at all (just my opinion) As apposed to other female fronted Death/Black/Gothic Growling female death style vocalists/ i.e. ARKONA /Maria Arkhipova, KRISIS/ Karyn Krisis, OPERA IX/ Cadaveria, SIGH /Mikannibal etc. I think Maksym would be better off in a more Gothic/Death/Doom type sounding band. Respect.

I Speak Astronomy, you won't regret it 😉😎

[@TheMuserResolute]

I’ve heard so many good things! Hands down will be my next Jinjer vid!

[@missketathirteen]

I'm a huge Jinjer fan, and I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis. Also, you are trying to understand the lyrics which I feel is a very important part of experiencing Jinjer.

[@NativeNewMexican]

Great analysis, great reaction. I agree, it sounds like government, not just teachers. Could include the Catholic church in that too.

[@funnyperson4027]

Those triplets are called “blast beats” in the metal world

[@JimmyRJump]

Check out Judas Priest's "Bloodred Skies", the "Sin City" fan-made clip. Not necessarily as a reaction video, but simply as a passtime and as an enrichment of your musical journey. Friendly greetings from Belgium.

[@talictdf4757]

That's the band's comment on it: "The idea behind the song is about people that dictate their agenda by means of their status, position, or just their Internet claim to fame in order to impose their opinion on to others but those opinions aren't based on experience nor knowledge." It's definitely still valid for the school system but for lots of other areas too.

[@sagethephoenix7494]

"...so i will SHOW!! SHOW!! what is wrong and what is right" I can't even remotely go from TALKING TO SCREAMING in a normal setting ... yet she does it so flawlessly, it almost seems like she just simply has 2 "natural voices" and can use them at will. Most impressive switching I've ever heard in my life, hands down.

You don't have to apologize for stopping. This is what a reaction channel is. The same lames that cry about stopping, have seen the same video and heard the same song a billon times. And if they haven't, that same video is ALL over KZbin for them to enjoy. I like to watch REACTORS, REACT to the song. :0)

[@omegawolfd]

Love the trolling with the space bar! :,D

[@nerousader]

You should do Joyner Lucas, the man has some talent. Songs, isis (ignore the weird name) Revenge Will Or pick whatever you want the songs are all pretty good. Sorry if the English broken.

[@METALvAN2010]

You did a great job with this reaction video. First one off yours I've seen. I love that your face shows your reactions as well as your words. Definitely a sub from me. And hopefully I'll enjoy more videos from you. Thank you.

[@madaneau]

You need to listen to "Megadeth - Holy Wars...The Punishment Due". It is maybe not the most recent song, but it is the most complicated song I know.
