#Reaction

[@TooSillyMovies]

This was a fun reaction, I’m glad that you liked the band but it was also cool to see some of your technical/musical knowledge as well! For other Jinjer reactions I would recommend ‘Judgement and Punishment’ if you like genre blending, Pit of Consciousness, I Speak Astronomy, and Ape

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Awww Thank you Bri...

[@drummerjosh2112]

“Perennial Live at Wacken” and “Teacher, Teacher official video” will really get you on your way into their world.

[@briansmith6911]

Perennial Live at Wacken for sure... not the video... believe it or not the live version sounds SO much better...

[@otoduran]

Agree

[@maxd2767]

Teacher Teacher in Melbourne is version to go now

[@PZMaTTy]

I think that live song doesn't offer Tatiana's voice at 100% because it was the last song from the concert and she was already tired (it's still great but you get the point) Teacher Teacher is incredible, maybe Perennial studio version! (beautiful video)

[@serafinsantos9320]

Eres gracioso gordito 👍

[@billmcleangunsmith]

Legend has it that Tatiana was once asked what her vocal range is. Her response was, "Yes."

[@Duane_Grabert]

Is Jinjer really big enough to have legends about them? Rhetorical question. Yes they are.

[@gerardomorales4078]

followed by a giggle.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

I was already a hardcore Jinjer fan when I saw them the first time, and it was this song that really made me a fan. In that first concert, I was standing next to a stack of speakers and those low growls at the 4-minute mark of the original video shook my whole body down to my bones - I could feel her words, in my bones. I'll never forget that feeling. Whether they are metal or not depends on how they feel like answering interview questions at any given moment. Eugene the manager has said he believes Tatiana is the best singer in metal, male or female (I concur, personally) but has also said they aren't metal they are just "extreme music." Most fans consider them progressive metal. There is lots more from them. 3 full albums and 2 EPs with Tatiana on vocals (1 of the EPs was later expanded to an album). There is an earlier EP when they were just starting to build the band and members were changing constantly with Tati on only one song and possibly Roman on some but that isn't clear and Eugene hadn't joined and they'd go through several more drummers before Vlad came aboard - all of their drummers have been really good and Jinjer seems to have attracted solid talent from the beginning with the original male vocalist being quite decent, just nowhere near the vocal phenomenon that Tatiana is. "Perennial" live at Wacken is a great next step that is a bit on the lighter side similar to Pisces. Of similar hardness is "I Speak Astronomy" which is one that there isn't a top-quality live video for but the music video is beautiful, and is one of their few love songs that Tatiana says she wrote as a "call to the universe" to find someone she was mentally and spiritually compatible with - mixed with metal growls, as one does haha. Going back to the first record that Tati did all the vocals for, Exposed As A Liar has a live video in the form of the "Crowd Factory live DVD trailer." One of their newest videos is a live performance of an older song but one of their most aggressive, called "Sit Stay Roll Over" live in Melbourne - Tatiana seldom puts all of her coolest stuff into one performance of any of their songs but she does her growls differently in every performance and that performance of that song has belting, extremely fast switching (starting a line clean, then ending with growls for emphasis), and high, medium, and low growls all in one song which is really epic. And yeah, whoever does the recordings for their Napalm stuff is amazingly good.

[@MrDikini]

I don't give a shit if they are metal or not, though they are. the band is just that special. every now and again bands like that come. we are lucky that we can enjoy their art :)

[@Russelshackleford]

Tatiana is the best voice in metal, male or female.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

@@MrDikini yup

[@j.f.fisher5318]

@@Russelshackleford and yup ;)

[@stanlojewski6761]

Actually there is an awesome live video for "I speak astronomy" & several other songs though. It's the video from Resurrection fest 2018. I've watched that whole video many times, it's an absolutely awesome live performance and great sound.

[@kirbysmith882]

One song I love from Jinjer that is over looked is Just Another.

[@Acekhan201]

Ugh, such a CLASSIC! But KOE is pretty stacked with good tunes, too. It just comes across as simple compared to a lot of their compositions. I think that's what makes it so good, it leans into a more familiar pop-metalcore slot in the brain they usually avoid. This is NOT a bad thing.

[@OGguerilla]

Yuup, good one 👌🤘

[@manjay49]

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Jinjer. You are old skool. I am 71. Ancient School. I have been a Jinjer fan for 2 weeks. I saw Yardbirds, Cream, Vanilla Fudge, all 1967, The Who many times bdtween 1967 1969, saw Hendrix 5x, Led Zep 5 times in 1969, Spirit 2x 1969, was at Woodstock, Mahavishnu Orchestra 1972, Sepultura, Pantera, Extreme Noise Terror, many,many punk bands,, Janes Addiction Iggy Pop, Meshuggah 2x ,hundreds of other bands. Truth. Jinjer is The Best Band In The World, At This Poiint In Time.

[@adambrock5649]

I’m glad there’s still people who grew up listening to old metal and enjoying today’s music. If you want a list of bands I know quite a few that you may like.

[@InsomniaDrive]

"That's a badass singer" - yeah, Tatiana is the QUEEN of metal, and the entire band is fucking talented.

[@flawedlife5013]

And just check out Jinjer live in Melbourne, full show. Absolutely amazing. Seen them twice here in Houston. Fantastic

[@stewartmcdowall2285]

Welcome to the rabbit hole! It's a fine trip!!!

[@nstag8r]

Funny that you say Gwen Stefani, Tragic Kingdom is one of Tatianas favorite albums.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

See didn’t know that

[@BustinBenny]

It's amazing she can say "I wanna sound like that. " And then she does.

[@rog2224]

Kody - the new video really reminds me of the Don't Speak video in look.

[@Klittle010]

No Doubt - Don't Speak.. Such a damn classic of that album!

[@enlightendbel]

@@OldSkuleNerd some of her biggest influences she's mentioned (and some are her tattoos) are Ella Fitzgerald, Gwen Stefani, Kylie Minogue, Amy Winehouse, Bob Marley, Sepultura, Opeth, etc. You'll notice those influences in several of their songs. Influences with Jinjer however don't translate to copying. It always means paying ode to in Jinjers own style.

[@frankh9600]

Just rewatched it after about one year, still one of my favourites

[@tjhorne82]

Definitely need to check out Jinjer's "Outlander", "Retrospection (live) Napalm Records" and "Cloud Factory live"

[@dallasclark5533]

Amen, yes all of these.

[@HavokTheorem]

I would describe Jinjer as progressive metalcore or groove metal, but frankly no two songs follow the same formula. I really like bands whose sound evolves within and between records. Clearly they have some strong jazz, funk, alt-rock, death metal and punk influence. Classic elements of metalcore/deathcore that Jinjer uses are syncopated and aggressive rhythms, sinister riffs, and heavy breakdowns - but their song structures resemble technical death metal, and their tone and instrumentation, especially the bass, is more progressive influenced. The very equal split of prominence between the four band members makes me think of TOOL - every part can be analysed and appreciated as part of the whole story and atmosphere. The vocals are mostly in the style of death metal. Tatiana uses low death growls, mid-range screams, hard rock style belting, soft spoken word style or tight, nasal sounding singing. Their versatility and vocabulary of sounds is really what makes them so hard to pin down.

[@marcfromparis333]

Hello ! I saw tons of reactions to this song. You are the first to notice the mouth opening with her fingers at 13:21. The tiger's roar. 🙂

[@markmotley8542]

Hey Old Skule, couple years older than you and likewise got pulled back into metalworld after coming across Jinjer...effing amazing. Came across this and thought I'd toss it your way, can't wait to see your reaction. Bloodywood Dana Dan(Indian folk metal) No really!

[@cherylchaison5085]

I'm old school as well don't like hardly nothing new but jinjer is so talented and sounds sooo amazing this changed my views.

[@kodywatts6886]

“Even Warrant can sound great in the studio” 😂 I was dying

[@christopherwashburn8163]

Metal, groove, regge, ya, they can do it all! Love these guys!!

[@kirbysmith882]

Love Jinjer went to a concert last year 1st concert in 25 years. I just had to go see them. Jinjer is 1 of 3 bands I listen to daily the other 2 are Band Maid and The Warning all 3 are different. Band Maid is a Japanese all female band and The Warning is 3 sisters from Mexico.

[@tackle47]

Funny for me it is Jinjer, Band Maid and Babymetal. I cannot get enough of those three totally different and awesome bands. Only 1 I have not seen live yet is Band Maid, come on immunization.

[@spikenelson6669]

hell im 43..ive been a metal head since 9yrs old when i found megadeth peace sells album in 1986...keep going brother

[@oscarsalazar8532]

I'll tell you a funny little story. Jinjer had a concert in my country on March 13 of this year. Apart from enjoying it (jumping and everything else) in some parts I stayed watching, listening and observing with my mouth open, if her voice was real, nothing recorded and I was stupid hahahahah They are spuer profesional 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@billszozda4448]

Awesome channel man! Literally ever jinjer song is great, there isn’t a bad one. Every one has a different sound but they all sound jinjer. They are the fucking best in every way. Also, your reaction to Spiritbox-Constance was one of the realist reactions I’ve every seen. Keep up the great videos!

[@vanlepthien6768]

I would suggest "Pit of Consciousness" live in Kiev, "Retrospection" (official video), "Teacher, Teacher" (Official), and the go through the recently dropped Live at Melbourne concert. For something different, I'd suggest The Warning. Probably "Dust to Dust" would be a good intro to their music.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

You are the second person to suggest The Warning..... on the list

[@kirbysmith882]

Love The Warning.

[@yyanderlustt]

They are like "jazz players goes metal"thing and i love this

[@michaelreimann7553]

More Jinjer! Watch judgment and punishment 🤘

[@robertcrockett7088]

Judgement & Punishment is GREAT and it has some reggae. Perennial is GREAT as well. Nice reaction. Thank you!!

[@ricardomauricioaraya7625]

I saw a clip of a fan in the audience recording them playing this song, and the voice sounds just like it does here... This lady is fn' amazing!

[@richardmonroe7381]

Jinjer is best live 😄👍

[@darrellbeam8053]

Loved your reaction! Gained a sub. Jinjer has carved out their own category of metal. Try Judgement and Punishment One Shot.

I love that you aren't constantly talking about her looks and are talking about the band. You have talked about the talent of the musicians from the very start, too. Subscribed.

[@dieguezroberto1]

Great. ! Love Jinjer.

[@Randomizer939]

Fantastic Jinjer reactions, keep going, this is gold. (And also you should get at least first 1k subs with Jinjer, everyone does) Great analysis as always. Your detail notes about them are superb, definitely proceed making these videos. Only downside with Jinjer is that they don't have bad songs so this might take a while with Jinjer. "Is there anything this band can't do?" Answer is no.

[@darquemode1165]

I've heard people refer to Jinjer as "Groove Metal" and I think it fits better than any other descriptor.

[@morellos_chris]

"Teacher Teacher" should definitely be your next!

[@isaacmcallister5649]

Also, thank you for serving. Thank you.

[@rog2224]

What first hooked me to Jinjer was Eugene's bass lines.

[@williamgoble2831]

Honestly i never thought i would say this but i believe he's got Brian"Head" Welch (KORN) beat

[@kenchristensen2861]

I love this band so to see you reationto them is making me hapy. Iblaft mybass if in pure joy 🤣. Mae you have an fantastic chrismas and a lovly newyear. Regards from Denmark

[@j.c.arenes6162]

Loving your reactions OldSkulNerd. I’m discovering Jinjer through you, and like you I’m hooked. The musicianship is incredible. You might like to check out Eugene’s play-through of this song for a different perspective. Also, completely different style of music, but one I think you’ll appreciate (especially with the Louisiana French connection) - check out the live performance of Je Suis Malade by Lara Fabien. There’s a version with both French and English subtitles. It’s an epic performance that never fails to bring me to tears. Keep up the great work 👍

[@Survivor_of_DMVdrivers]

Not sure how I missed the drummer's Tom & Jerry t-shirt after all these times watching their video...but I'm digging it, haha!

[@Iamsmallfry]

Dude! I haven’t smiled and laughed this much during an Jinjer reaction in a while. Your story of being old and dropping out of metal for a while is very similar to mine. I just turned 48 last week. I discovered Jinjer from reactions last September. If it wasn’t the day I first heard them, it was pretty damn close; I bought tickets to a show in October. Before Tatiana, I didn’t get growling and screaming (beyond Metallica and Megadeth styles). I jokingly tell friends that that was my old man, get off my lawn, thing. “THAT’S NOT MUSIC!” LOL. Enter Jinjer. Now I’m all in. Jinjer has not made a bad song yet. You can even go back to “Inhale Don’t Breathe”, and they were a unrefined, had a different drummer and extra guitarist, but were still great. Definitely, Perennial Live at Wacken should be next. I pulled over just to write this. Later when I stop for the night I’ll comment with other songs and bands I’ve discovered since Jinjer opened my mind. Do you just want band names and specific titles or links?

[@donleckrone6448]

There awsome

[@whirledpeaz5758]

Im with you on the old school metal situation. Listened to hair metal when at sea on Carrier in the 80's. Friend introduced me to Halestorm about 10-12 years ago. That lead me down a rabbit hole of female fronted bands. Particularly a fan made video of Daughters of Darkness.

[@robertkidd1268]

The band pays respect to all of their influences so reggae jazz ska it is all in there man

[@ssecor40]

Rocking with Dokken baby, love the 80's but phew Jinjer's got it today!

[@camlloyd3321]

Well done. As I stated in the previous reaction, I suggest Perennial live at Wacken next, but would be just as happy to see Teacher Teacher official video, or I Speak Astronomy official video. Just keep the Jinjer coming...

[@bigdaddy741098]

The only thing I know about music is the feeling I get when I listen to it, and the sheer power of Jinjer (all 4 of them) has brought me to tears on more than 1 occasion.... but I don't know Why it's so effing good. So I really enjoyed your breakdown of this.... cheers mate 👊👍 I'll be watching more for sure

[@darzog666]

The Jinjer rabbit hole is deep indeed. You really can’t go wrong with reacting to any of their songs.

[@c.f.youngblood5404]

Great React OSN...cant wait for more Jinjer!

[@fuzzwuzzy1]

[@Kedabo]

Awesome reaction I love Jinjer. A band you might enjoy is Eluveitie, their music is amazing. A great starter song is Inis Mona.

[@jeffgnagy]

Love Jinjer! All 4 members... amazing!

[@bighead074]

Only discovered your channel yesterday, loving the commentary. Another band that breaks some of the standard metal molds Dimmu Borgir. Gateways Live at Forces of the Northern Night has a few surprises to shake up the standard formula.

[@bernhardkulzer9125]

Let`s put it that way: Whenever you think you know what is about to come in a Jinjer they do it - differently. You only won´t be overwhelmed anymore when you finally accept the surprises in ideas, patterns and musicality of that band. But then you`ll simply enjoy them. What a nice feeling!

[@telecastersaremetal6648]

Highly suggest “Cloud Factory” official live version and “On the Top” live in Kiev. Going to blow your mind. No, there’s nothing they can’t do. Lol. Thanks for the awesome reaction. Look forward to watching your next one.

[@jeffwellman8347]

Great Reaction. From the same concert, "Words of Wisdom" (Live, Napalm Records) is another epic performance worthy of a reaction. It is literally the very next song. The concert is the Atlas Weekend Festival in Kyiv 2017 and the band was on fire that day.

[@felixmurley-anderson5620]

If you want more Of Jinjer’s range, I would say try I Speak Astronomy (an older song with their original drummer), and the recent one-take Tati just did of Judgement and Punishment

[@jimmorris67]

Keep with the live Judgement and Punishment live Melbourne 2020,Pit of Consciousness live Kiev lots more I’m 68 and was in the same boat as you till I got into this band about a year ago they are so underrated.Subscribed keep it going

[@blindbubba9001]

...nice cuz...this is the best band on the planet in my opinion....says on their web sight they are progressive grove metal with hard core roots or something like that....i found jinjer in the comments of a young family band called "liliac" about a year ago...ironic they were doing the dio cover you mentioned..."holy diver"...so out of coincidental respect i will suggest "Holy Diver" official video by Liliac...( the jinjer army will direct you to more amazing jinjer songs )....they are killer...the young female singer will drop your jaw.....by the way im subbin...thanks peace....

[@rofyle]

Vlad, the drummer, is also a pianist.

[@Acekhan201]

And a decent guitarist, too. The guy actually turned down running a music academy or something to be Jinjer's full-time drummer. Love him. He takes them from damn good to super-band, imo.

[@Liz-cmc313]

70s & 80s metal was and is the best.... This band is incredible. I don't care for women who growl but I make an exception for her.

[@Deadeye_BH]

Yeah, Gwen Stefani is one of Tatiana's singing idols. Same with Amy Winehouse. You gotta check out Teacher Teacher next 😄. Her switch ups are real sexy in that and same with Perennial live at Wacken open air 2019.

[@larockeritajoselin]

[@Kobenoz]

As an old school metal music enthusiast & practitioner, I never thought that I'll be blown away with nowadays music and musicians. Jinjer is one of them, but I'll share some other amazing musicians that I've been listening to recently, you might want to check them out too: Babymetal, and Dimash Kudaibergen. Great reaction by the way...!

[@dbell582]

HOME BACK recently released video (December 2020) is the bomb for (no pun intended) for Jinjer. I must’ve watched it a million times so far. I watch it several times a day. Tatiana gets some of the if not the deepest growls I’ve ever heard her do. I hope you enjoy. Oh and Sit, Stay, Roll Over (I love the video and live performance) is another great song. You literally cannot listen to a bad Jinjer song imho. I listen to them daily without fail. I enjoy all of their music.

[@notowar5560]

At some point she was part of +6 groups, each one with a different style of music, thats how she gained all that control and versatility. Well, and practice, lots and lots and lots of practice.

[@Duane_Grabert]

Big facts right there.

[@hemlock399]

A Metal Masterpiece.

[@frogpaste]

Fun fact: Tatiana said she's not involved at all with the instrumentals. The other three do that on their own and she adds her voice in where it fits. Of course, she did ask them to do another Reggae tune for Judgement and Punishment, after they had done this song.

[@etessier87]

If you see this Cloud Factory by Jinjer is an amazing earlier song by the band. Slightly different sound dynamically but still amazing. Its more of a metal song

[@recurrencetheorem4264]

PIT OF CONSCIOSNESS official video (live video is amazing as well)

[@recurrencetheorem4264]

If you like the Reggae vibe, listen to her do a one take studio "sing-through" of Judgement and Punishment.

welcome to the club. :) Tati is THE queen. This performance is special. The clean vocals are more aggressive than the gutturals, or is it just for me. Ends with reggae vibe, but really cool bluesy guitar licks... What next? Jinjer - while anything will do, Perennial live@Wacken or official video (or a double ;), Ape, On the top (live in Kyiv), Captain Clock - live. From the other contemporary metal(ish) bands - Spiritbox Holly Roller and Rule of Nines - Infected Rain - Mold, black gold, me against you - twelve foot ninja - coming for you, sick, one hand killing :) nd that is just the tip of the iceberg. enjoy the trip. I know I do, and I'm not a spring chicken either.

Don't think you can go wrong with any of those.

Love your reactions! Jinjer is an amazing journey into genre bending. Next up try “I Speak Astronomy”, “Retrospection -live in Kiev”, “Teacher, Teacher-official video”, “Captain Clock-Resurrectionfest”, “Cloud Factory”, “ Judgement and Punishment” (do a double feature of official video after doing the live one take vocal), “Perennial” (again do the live, then official video), “Ape”, “Sit, Stay, Roll Over”, “On The Top”, “Back Home”.. really, you can’t go wrong! Their newest release of “The Prophecy“ is really good too. Enjoy the trip this band will take you on. Vlad (drums), Roman (guitar), Eugene (bass), and Tatiana are all amazing, talented artists in their own right, together they are phenomenal and tight. Keep doing what you’re doing. 😀

Subbed up! Per Eugene the bass player, they classify themselves as "progressive extreme". One of Tati's first bands was a reggae band, so you'll here some reggae breaks in a few songs.

[@stuartcoles3713]

Great band. On The Top Live in Kiev would be a good choice to watch

[@webfish69]

What an amazing group of talent. Even this over 50 ex-metal-head is wondering where they were hiding when I could thrive in a mosh pit? Oh that's right they weren't even born yet. Silly me. I can still enjoy them live from the balcony. lol

Welcome back to the world of metal brother. The Jinjer army isn’t going to steer you wrong when it comes to Jinjer. I love Jinjer but I am not going to recommend a Jinjer song to you because I know you going to have plenty. I would love for you to listen to something a little left field. Here we go Ne Obliviscarus: And plague flowers the Kaleidoscope live in Colorado. This one will shock you and introduce you to an Australian Progressive Death Metal band. Your welcome in advance. Lol

Love your reaction bro you pick apart the music alot like I do.this band us truly amazing the abum king of everything is one of the albums where you never find yourself skipping a track.the song exposed as a liar is old but one of my all time favs they had 2 guitar players and a different drummer back then. On a side note I've never seen a reaction to the song end of the line by devildriver .in my opinion it's a heavy metal masterpiece
