My First Time Hearing JINJER! Opera Singer Reaction (& Analysis) | "Pisces (Live Session)"

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Tati is such an amazing singer. Glad you finally got to Jinjer, Peter!

[@GodlessScummer]

Loved your reaction to Jinjer and interview with Tatiana, Elizabeth.

[@TheChzoronzon]

Ey, Liz! :)

[@JasonSmith-lp6wg]

Professor, you should give Jill from Huntress a listen. She's like the composite of you and Tati. She's brilliant.

[@luisnunes3863]

Do mention André Matos and Fairy Tale to Peter, E. I think he'd like it.

2:42 "that is low for a female singer" and I was like oh boy you're in for a treat 🤣🤣

[@starchitin]

I had the same reaction when he said that.... "just wait, dude" 😂

[@MorriganJade]

One thing I took from that, when he explained the comfort, and the deep resonance, is that I then thought "ah, this is why her growls are so low too!"

[@janzychiewicz]

He didn't see it coming.

Seriously, professional-vocalists-react-to-Tati is a whole KZbin genre all by itself, and you absolutely did not disappoint. I think your reaction to hearing her start growling is right up there with The Fairy Voice Mother’s. Thank you so much for all of your excellent analysis! I learned things today, and that makes it a very good day.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

I actually think this tops The Fairy Voice Mother's reaction... I expect her to be animated and expressive... Peter is normally more stoic and reserved; I can probably count on one hand how many F-bombs I have ever heard him drop in reactions.

[@Popular_Novel]

"Two different voices and two different songs" The Zodiac sign Pisces, from which the song is named, is two fish. So the split in the song is a reflection of the Zodiac sign. The whole song is really clever and gorgeous and I LOVE the imagery used.

Its a ying and a yang

[@leomahmet7555]

especially if you've met enough of us pisces to see that pattern, this song hits hard on so many levels

[@cbreezy1221121]

As someone who just saw them live last week, I can confirm that Tatiana sounds that powerful in person as well

[@THE0malley]

​@@Johnnymack666 The entire band is amazing...from top to bottom...

[@calebgaines224]

Honestly best performance of the week at LTL, the sound was by far the best out of every band that played. I was right in the middle next to the mosh pit and it was crystal clear.

[@mattbrown5511]

Tatianna is Ukrainian and speaks 3 languages. English being the third. It is amazing how sharp her lyrics are in a third language. Your reaction was one of the best I have seen from classical vocalists. Even her growls are just so clean and crisp.

[@DaintyMacroHobbit]

Tati is for sure one of the top growlers in metal. If you'd like more, Perennial live at Wacken is a good one. Her technique is so freaking good. Growling is highly technical and she's so impressive. Love the reaction!

[@jfw413]

Speaking of growlers, Maybe Arche Enemy should also be visited in the near future. I like, for instance, The Eagle Flies Alone. On the other hand I also like the fairly recent songs that include some her (Angela's) clean vocals.

[@ituberich]

This is a must

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Yes; Perennial live at Wacken; but I prefer the 2019 performance over the one they did this year.

[@DaintyMacroHobbit]

@@nigeldepledge3790 I agree, they killed it in 2019. All the band performed so well.

[@sarumanork-orphanage5612]

Talking about groling, do you think we could get an Angela Gossow reaction out of him? I don't think even Elizabeth has gotten around to that, she's probably only seen Alicia White-Gluzz, right? That's gotta happen though, Angela is a dragon.

[@miniHAWKTTV]

Have always said that Tatiana is the 'cleanest' growler. Her growls/screams/harsh vocals - whichever you wish to call them - are so easy to understand. JINJER is a band I always use to try and get my non-metal friends to listen to in order to hopefully get them into it for that exact reason. She's so easy to understand, even for those who don't listen to this stuff every day-all day like me.

[@luxtobeyou]

She was one of the very first screamers I really got into because of that reason, I love all techniques but one that still gives you clarity with the lyrics on top of sounding amazing is always a great treat

[@666neoselen]

I do the same. I like to share this song because I loooove breaking preconceived thoughts about metal being depressive. that may be a bold one but I feel there's more energy than depression in metal than pop these days. I travelled in music as I did in life, from "heh things are what can I do" to "let's react, build energy from wherever it comes" then my bff gave me that CD of metal and introduced me into it. I've found energy since then, I felt understood by some metal songs that told me "wake up". oh and btw, it's growl. harsh vocals is a big family, containing screams and its brother growl and screamo and some others. growl is recognizable because you can get it is by comparing to a dog growling: it's deep, kinda harsh but wet sound (compared to screeches you can say it's cat-related, more dry like a cat on a blackboard). I'm not mocking all these types of singing but metaphors help you figure it out. and one last, the pig squeal, but I think you get it.

[@symphoofficial1726]

Fully agree. The only one I can think of that can think that's equally "clean" when harsh is Devin Townsend. Check his live performance of Deadhead with his group (he was coming off having the flu as well)

[@anomymouse5043]

This gets me started. I dislike some (many) growlers because A) there is no definite pitch, B) they deliver only words with the very same 'pitch' and/or C) you can't make anything from their lyrics. I get an impression that some of these cannot sing or deliver any note. Now check David Vincent, one of the first growlers (old Morbid Angel). There is a recent video from band Vltimas (Miserere), where David does the vocals. Also Tatiana can clearly vary her pitch in her growls.

[@submarin777]

Next time try Slaughter to Prevail with your friends😂

[@-R.Gray-]

See the look on Elizabeth's face when she watched this. I think this performance started her down the road of investigating these type of vocalists. This was basically live with a few overdubs. See a Jinjer live performance, like "Perennial" at Waken to see what she sounds like in that situation. Elizabeth also has an interview with Tatiana.

[@foxandscout]

I loved that interview! Tatiana by Elizabeth.

[@BerraLJ]

I love Teacher Teacher such a cool song with utter chaos going on and her doing rap, screams and sweet singing.

[@Renaud.Gloglo.Blasinski]

@@BerraLJ Indeed, "Teacher teacher" is probably the song wher she has the widest range of singing styles. And there is a moment when she switches between clean vocals and growls in a fraction of second, it's just mind blowing

[@joturna1]

The ending part always gives me pure goosebumps, cuz she switches so easily between her primal evil voice to the mother of all angels

[@sebrina8057]

Next, you need to look at the one-take of Judgement & Punishment. Live vocals in an improvised booth during lockdown.

[@julien2231]

Yes yes yes

[@laurenfazenbaker9777]

Her deepest growl yet is on Vortex. She put sooooo many deathcore vocalists to shame on that one. For in between vocals...check out Teacher Teacher, Judgement and Punishment 1 take recording, Perennial live at Wacken, or Noah live in Australia. Can't wait to see them for the 3rd time. 2 weeks! Woot!

The moment Jinjer owns the moment. The reaction never gets old. Changes from brilliant common voice to uncommon oddity to be studied and analyzed to ensure she's real.

[@mailidong3576]

Loved your description of false cords vibration noise production as well as your surprising reaction to Tatiana. This video was meant to highlight initially the drummer who is first a classical pianist debuting with this band if I’m not mistaken. Just superb musicianship overall! The duality of this song is reflective of Pisces, her sign and persona.

[@Aedelmar]

"I've been never been more off-guard" - I guess that's the perfect reaction to hearing this the first time!

[@toddmaliepaard9777]

Jinjer is amazing, her switching between super harsh and clean vocals is insane. Glad you got to see this one first.

[@NonEuclideanTacoCannon]

Aren't they incredible? Not just Tatiana, the whole band is at the top of their game. Drummer went to a fancy music school and studied piano, he's fantastic.

[@jenniferchoate5600]

I don't think anyone's said this already. But given that the song is named "Pisces", the zodiac sign which symbolizes the twin fishes, the duality of Tatiana using false-cord vocals and her true-cord vocals makes a lot of sense. This song represents that duality along with adding in the elements of the story of a "Child of Neptune" (in order words a Mermaid/Merman) who feels this acutely and without fail. Another example of this is Yin and Yang with the concept of a darker side and a good side of a person. With Tatiana gradually building up the verses sung in her false-cord vocals, it shows that ultimately the darker side of the character she's portraying reigns victorious over the good side in the end. Which, unfortunately, can contribute to the innate core of human nature. Thank you for giving Jinjer a listen Peter! Admittedly, I couldn't stop cackling at your reactions to Tatiana's drop into her false-cord vocals. I've watched many reactions to when she does this, and it still cracks me up! Hello from the U.S.A. 👋.

[@chriso6719]

That was one of the best reactions to this song I have seen in a while. You're not the first to say it "factory reset" your brain. Julia Nilon had a severe "factory reset" in her reaction.🤣 Jinjer is Ukrainian, from Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, where fighting started in 2014. It's sort of live. Recorded together in studio, it has some post production , with harmonies, but that is all her. Yes, Tatiana uses false fold for the harsh. Mostly self taught, Otep and Randy Blythe (Lamb of God) are some of her harsh vocal influences. This was a remake of an older song, done to showcase Vlad on drums, he had joined the band not long before this. Roman on guitar, and Eugene on bass.

[@towertito2149]

VLAD IS AN ANIMAL. I MEAN. HES A BEAST I'm still learning this song. That shuffle is EXTREMELY difficult

There's double tracking on the most intense parts of her growl lines but that's it. She's got gorgeous clear diction in her harsh vocals, thats her standout feature to me.

[@ericpeterson7512]

There's also a dubbed whisper under "Neptune's child, shivering inside."

[@mrtveye6682]

@@ericpeterson7512 Right. And also some overdubs in the guitar. The lable "live session" is a little misleading. It's not a pure live performance, it's like a "enhanced" live performance, like if a band would record the complete basic track together, but that's not the finished product. I think they even have some backing stuff running from tape (or computer these days) during their concerts. Still it doesn't take anything away from the amazing talent all 4 of them have.

[@mastod0n1]

​@@mrtveye6682yeah a lot of people don't realize that live sessions like this usually get cleaned up a little in post.

There are some live recordings from Wacken 2019. "Perennial" being one that is often pointed to as a great one to check out. "Teacher Teacher" music video, "Judgement and Punishment" (one take), "Who is going to be the one", "Astronomy" are representative of some of their older work. Vortex is one of the newer releases that I like. If you're going to dive in, their catalog is deep and eclectic I think.

I'm 4 days late commenting so no one might read this, but oh well. Remember the Pisces symbol represents a duality in personality. Just like in this song. The whole band is very talented. Tatiana is a vocal beauty and beast. She is seriously talented and captivating. Yes Tatiana uses her false vocal cords to do hash vocals/grawls in a healthy way. I Seriously recommend Teacher Teacher official video Tatiana's vocal translations are seamless and mindboggling. For very very good live performances definitely react to Perennial live at Wacken pronounced Vaw-ken as it's in Germany. Her stage presence is incredible. Also check out Judgement and Punishment Tatiana's (one take vocal) live performance version. It has possibility a suprising musical influence that's very cool and you get a closer look at her throat, posture changes and vocal techniques. There's even a cute cat in the beginning of the video. I always suggest people new to Jinjer to read through the lyrics before listening to a particular song. I found that helped me adjust when I was new to this type of hash vocals/grawls. Also Their songs get even better once you understand the meaning behind the lyrics. Each Jinger song is unique.

Thank you for a good reaction, and welcome to the world of Jinjer. I promise you, this is just a very little bit of what this band can do. Pisces is the gate way drug, but the real high is in the next songs!! They are super creative, mixes genres left and right, weird time signatures, and then they have this singer who is insainly talented. I have seen an interview with Roman, the guitarist, where he says that there are still times when they play live, where he and Eugene, the bass player, lock eyes and is like, “what the fuck did she just do??” Perennial-live from Wacken, Who is gonna be the one-live, the Judgment and punishment-vocal one take version and Teacher Teacher, are the ones i would like to recommend, if you want to see more.

The two styles reflect in the lyrics. This is a very thoughtfully written song.

[@gradypatterson1948]

Elizabeth's (The Charismatic Voice) reaction to this song/video is quite entertaining and instructive - well worth the watch 🙂 The thing that almost no reactor I've watched mentions is that in her guttural/growl voice, Tatiana manages to produce sufficient harmonic content within the noise that (in certain times - not always) a careful listen can detect both a root note and a 5th. The place I hear it the most is in her final "Emeralds are ripped a-wa-a-ay". Great reaction and great content - thanks!

[@DanKaschel]

[@TheRealTomLauda]

I love those opera singer reactions videos. I'm a metalhead, but i'm singing mostly gregorian chants in a choir. I learn so much about vocal technics through those videos (and The Charismatic Voice's videos too), thank you very much for that !

[@Robert_Herring]

Great reaction, Peter. Tati is such a fantastic performer, musician, and lyricist. I've seen them live 3 times now, and she and the band are probably the tightest band performing right now. You mentioned Vlad, the drummer; this video was done to introduce him as their new drummer. He is fantastic, but only picked up the drums after his previous band needed a new drummer. He's a classical pianist by training.

[@myfaceismyshield5963]

When visiting underground death metal festivals, there's a lot of female death metal vocalists these days. And I mean A LOT of good ones. That said being able to switch between cleans and growls is difficult for both men and women and it's always impressive. Mikael Åkerfelt of Opeth and Tomi Joutsen of Amorphis do this super well too.

Their sound and her vocal talents set them apart from all other metal bands. I was instantly a fan, so much in fact that I completely forget to this day who they opened for. They stole the show.

To your point about the volume of the harsh vocals, there is one exception to that rule. Alex Terrible often performs live without a mic. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing him live yet, but it seems to be true. Check out Slaughter To Prevail’s usual first reaction “Demolisher” or their newest song “Viking”.

They are awesome live.

I got to see Jinjer live, in July. Tati is absolutely amazing. The power and control she has is unbelievable. If you ever get the chance, I would highly recommend seeing them live.

[@manna6618]

That entire intro bro...yep you were 100% on point... but all I could think was "mate, cup your balls...coz Tati is here!"... insane breakdown chief, anything by this band is going to absolutely blow your brain apart. Not a bad song from them and just wait till you hear more... thankyou! New sub. :)

This musical Jack in the box never gets old. Handing it off to someone new without them knowing what it is.

You should check out Perennial live at Wacken. Its toward the end of their set and when shes speaking to the crowd shes winded but while doing the clean and harsh vocals she does it perfectly. She also has a fantastic stage presence. Amazing breath control. Also, Alex Terrible often drops his mic and growls loud enough you can hear him toward the back. Hes pretty loud without a mic.

[@Madzekage]

I went to their show and her range of voice is real :)

[@Arlecchino_Gatto]

Igorrr is another band that has fun odd tempo changes. They have separate singers for an opera style and a growl style but they incoporate so many things into their music it is amazing. Diablo Swing Orchestra is yet another fun band.

[@Bobbias]

Haha, I'd love to see his reaction to Igorrr.

[@katwomyn]

The live video is a fun way to pause and analyze but having seen this band live multiple times it's pure magic when it's in your face.

[@cindy-tron]

Not screamo - "growl" is what you're looking for 😄 She's amazing and I LOVE this song, gives me chills every time. I also have naturally low chest voice and it's always really cool to hear other women that do as well (makes it SO much easier to sing along lol). I think the song's name gives away the duality of her style here - the Pisces zodiac sign is 2 fish swimming in opposite directions, so thematically, it's perfect.

[@moonrider99]

He faked the surprise so badly, lol.

[@stefperr]

listen jinjer Perennial live in wacken open air

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

Peter if your head is thinking screamo, but you don't want to be disrespectful, we call them clean vocals and aggressive vocals.

[@drsquatch9908]

Alex Terrible is in fact very loud without a microphone. One of the top harsh vocalists

[@realperson4931]

too bad stp is unoriginal deathcore, also alex is a nazi and that doesn't help

[@mikeluque6527]

I LOVE Jinjer and Tatiana is the greatest singer I've ever heard. I love your analysis. I've watched several "reaction" videos to this song because they crack me up so much. You break things down on a technical level far more than anyone I've seen and it's great. I've heard the whole "false folds" thing before but didn't know what it meant. You actually explained it. Thanks!!

[@cmaxxen]

Courtney, the vocalist of Spiritbox does bridge the gap with cleans and harsh vocals. Also awesome.

[@rosspage7734]

Was lucky enough to see Jinjer live in the UK. That screaming is unreal in real life
