Songwriter's Reaction/Review of JINJER "Pisces" Holy Smokes!

[@casandralorensen4910]

Welcome to Jinjer. Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well.

[@palladinodessa8988]

☝ Yup, see her do it live! Even MORE AMAZING!!!

[@kiwitron]

Judgement (and Punishment) is a very good option too

[@camlloyd3321]

Tatiana is a metal goddess, and Jinjer is the best thing to happen to Metal in a very long time! Fun reaction.

[@michaelmay5453]

Tatiana is a fucking gift to mankind. I absolutely adore her. We lost Lemmy (or perhaps... not lost, how do you lose a God? We misplaced him for a while) and while that loss is forever we have a bit back with Tatiana.

[@ftasenotfed]

Tati is Brilliant, he cleans and growls are second to none. Lyrically, she is one of the most interesting writers in a long long time. He background in everything (Reggae, jazz, pop) bring so much to their music. Vlad is also a beast on drums. This was one of the first things they did after Vlad joined.

[@jonwick1JonWick-vy3cn]

Truth!

[@jpdusn8347]

“What did I just listen to”? Answer: Tatiana, the most talented vocalist in Metal music at this time. Do more Jinjer and have fun with it. Plenty of material out there.

[@richardhall6034]

She is one of the best not forgetting floor jansen from Nightwish

[@paulriddle7818]

Take it easy on the "Most talented vocalist in metal music". Tati is a Metal Queen but not The Metal Queen.

[@chrisrock3919]

For me personal she is not a Queen, She is a Goddess!!! But is just my opinion:)

[@yubogolfer4040]

"Sia has left the building" ... laughing hard on that :D Soul, prepare to be blown away even more what Tatiana and her boys have to offer.

[@emiliemasi81]

SIA has left the building killed me 😂😂😂

[@butternutterz8817]

I literally just heard this for the first time 2 days ago and had a similar reaction 😂 now I'm low key obsessed with watching reactions to it

[@palladinodessa8988]

There's plenty of us "low key" Jinjer junkies. 🤣 Watch literally EVERY one of them...

[@kikstand2011]

Have fun. I've been watching hundreds of these Jinjer reactions for years now. Hahah. Greatest band going.

[@JoeyNiklas]

Nothing low key bout my obsession with this band and reactions to this particular song. I found this band via a reaction video. I normally don't listen to this subgenre of metal, but Jinjer is just special.

[@garycoates4987]

Jinjer Drops are the best

[@ur_quainmaster7901]

Go back and listen to the old stuff... Until The End, Scissors, Waltz, My Lost Chance, everything from Inhale, Don't Breathe really... They've always been good. Also, Alive In Melbourne is something special... on the youtubes in 4k for free... Enjoy.

[@vickiroman189]

You looked truly frightened! I know, she is unbelievable.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

This type of growl doesn't hurt the vocal chords.

[@Templarofsteel88]

it can if you don't know what you are doing.

[@banier2012]

HI. Fantastic reaction! Jinjer - bigest rabbit Hole! Welcome!!! next one "Perennial" live in waken open!!!!

[@kimeinvik]

What gets lost when reacting to Jinjer, because of the vocal chock, is the pure class of the other musicians. They play so good. So much talent.

[@Z_TPI]

The cuddle/punch combo never fails 😁

[@michaelmaag3098]

Congratulations. You have officially been Jinjered. 😁 Be invited to a wild, wild journey - it only gets better from here. And prepare for the #jinjerarmy to descend.

[@BudhagRizzo]

Their lyrics are really deep too. Her name is Tatiana Shmaylyuk. She's been singing this way for over 10 years and her voice has never faultered. Everyone in this band are masters of their instruments.

[@stevekallio6783]

Ahahaha, loved your reaction, it was hilarious, in a great way. When you said "this women is like a mixed bag of everything" I couldn't stop laughing 😆😆 On a serious note, Jinjer is the name of the band, they are Tatiana (vocals), Eugene (bass), Roman (guitar), and Vlad (drums) They are, in my opinion, one of the best metal bands around right now, if not the best. They are from Eastern Ukraine, so Russian is their native language. Tati is not unique when it comes to "growls" they're several females who can do it, but she is the best in my opinion, and you're right when you said that her growl sounds like a man. Most female "growlers" sound well, like a female. Tati has said in a interview that when she was learning how to "growl" she wanted to sound like a man to "shock" people. Jinjer as a band are just phenomenal, Tati gets the most attention because of her incredible vocals, but make no mistake, Eugene, Roman, and Vlad, are equally incredible at what they do. I'm gonna suggest another possible Jinjer reaction if you choose to do another one, and that song is Perennial live at Wacken open Air 2019, you'll get to see this amazing band perform live in a concert setting, and you will be absolutely blown away. Peace and as always, stay Metal my friend. 😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@grenvthompson]

I would have guessed Ukrainian was their native language, not Russian. Am I wrong? I mean they probably speak Russian as well.

[@stevekallio6783]

@@grenvthompson, Tati, Eugene, and Roman are from Eastern Ukraine, so the region that they're from is primarily Russian speaking, but you're right, they also speak Ukrainian. Vlad is the only one who isn't from Eastern Ukraine, but he also speaks both languages. 😊🤘🎶

Tatiana strikes again!! I just love watching peoples first time reaction to Jinjer. Welcome to my world.

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Tatiana's vocal talent is undeniable.... but it's the composition that drew me in, initially *despite* the extreme vocals. They play with proggy timings, advanced syncopation, mix in all sorts of genre influences (I'll not spoil it for you by telling you in which song they make bossa nova sound über-cool!). Integrity is a massive factor in music for me tho, & I 100% *believe* Tatiana when she's up there doing her thing. All 4 of them are top-tier musicians imho. They are the first, & so far the only, band with extreme vocals whose music I've paid actual money for. I'm in my forties, yet I find myself teenage-level excited for the "Wallflowers" album release on 27th August. Vlad the drummer is a classically-trained pianist to trade, & he has composed ~80% of the music for the new album (don't be expecting much of the standard intro-verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus-outro formula!).... & I am *SO* here for it!! :)

[@wardka]

Well put. Proggy, yes. That's probably why this 65 year old is into them. I gave up trying to figure out some of the time signatures in Teacher Teacher and that's a joy for me.

[@dmwalker24]

Phase1: Oh what a nice voice. Phase2: Holy shit this woman is talented! Phase3(that E5 Belt at the end): Ok, we're clearly in the presence of greatness.

[@lloyderc]

She’s a gift for all to hear.

[@jamesdalessandro8728]

[@Subjectivity13]

It honestly looked like legitimate fear on his face when he first heard her scream and recoiled at 2:51. That was a fantastic moment in Jinjer reaction history!

[@palladinodessa8988]

Gosh, it just doesn't get old - LUV IT!!!

[@leeabrook13]

She's awesome! Check out her live performances. Great reaction! Thank you! Watching your channel this morning. 👍 Love to watch you react to Nightwish. Ghost Love Score, 2013 (? I think...) Live at Wacken. Amazing band.

[@sweet65mustang]

That's one of ther best reactions i've seen recently. Relax and gather yourself, we've all been there

[@n3clar]

I am in love with the lyrics of the song out of all things!

[@wally837]

Jinjer Pisces reactions never get old. I have probably seen at least a hundred in the last year or two. Great reaction sir! Jinjer is metal, but they mix genres in almost all of their songs. Perennial live at Wacken is the logical next step if you want to hear more from this amazing band. I would also recommend the one take vocal performance of "Jugement (&Punishment)". I have been a metal head for over 30 years (I am 50 years old), but Jinjer is my favorite metal band, and is one of the few metal bands of the last from the last decade that I can say I really enjoy. If you like music that will not leave you bored then I highly recommend that you jump down the Jinjer rabbit hole. For the record this is one of my least favorite songs by them, but they have no bad songs in my opinion.

[@Templarofsteel88]

It always makes my day when I find a new reaction video for Pisces, you should go for perennial or/and who Is gonna be the one next, and it needs to be the live versions of both.

[@david.j9.rabbithole808]

Welcome to the Jinjer rabbit hole! You next need to react to “JINJER - Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019)”

[@jamestaylor7226]

you should see her shift into reggae, you would swear she was a chick from the islands, then right back to heavy metal goddess & that band is awesome.

[@timpurcell4583]

This one the best reactions I've seen to this song. Fucking rad!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Soul, regarding her "Satanic" voice: If you were a selfless fish (Pisces) who wanted to see the world but was a bit skittish, and then got into the nets and was hooked by handsome butchers who proceed to rip away your scales and entrails (emeralds)... you'd growl too! So you see, sometimes the lyrics call for extreme vocals in a song. Tatiana (who's not singing as someone possessed, so you can toss the garlic back into the spaghetti sauce) wrote an incredible story and sang about it the way it deserved to be sung... as with most of her songs. Some vocalist just keep singing in their nice and charming voice even when the lyrics call out desperation. Not so with Tati. Her extreme expression - a rare ability - adds so much more to a song... especially if you follow the music with the lyrics and how the beautiful cacophony tells the story.

[@Dracojax]

Every song of theirs I've heard has something new that I love. My fave at moment though is Teacher Teacher

[@johncarey7786]

Haha, well that was a genuine reaction worthy of a like. Check out more of their music, you wont be disappointed

[@stub011]

There is a rich history of amazing female vocalists who do this, it’s not a genre thing it’s a vocal technique that men and women use. I grow up listening to Otep and Arch Enemy among others but Tatiana is my favourite vocalist out there right now and the whole band is something special 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@BOOMBiggityBam]

Okay now that you've heard the amazing Tatiana and Jinjer, time to listen to the equally amazing Floor with Nightwish. Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013 please 😁😁😁 between these 2 bands you'll have enough content to last you months!

[@jamesb3123]

Welcome to JINJER! Please continue on with your JINJER journey. Try (PERENNIAL) live in wacken 2019 & (WHO IS GOING TO BE THE ONE) live. Also there is ( RETROSPECTION) official video & (CAPTAIN CLOCK) live at resurrection fest. Maybe even do some old school stuff like (OUTLANDER) official video & (SCISSORS) official video. When your done with these videos then your ready for (THE PROPHECY) official video. Thank you!! ENJOY!!!

[@donaldchapman4312]

Perennial Wacken 2019. It's a must to see her on stage in front of a crowd. If you like this, maybe check out a band called Spiritbox. Same deal as Jinjer, only with a slightly more mainstream feel musically. Both two of my favorite bands. Good luck on your journey.

Dude you’re reaction is the best because it was honest

[@MaximusMeridiusDK]

The astrological sign "Pisces" is many times depicted with two fish swimming in opposite direction. This is to signify the duality of the sign. Which lends itself very well to this song, because it's very much two opposites meeting. The nice slow music with clean lyrics vs fast hard music and growling, or as you said angel and demon....

[@shellbell40]

Welcome to the beautiful world of Jinjer. This song doesn't even touch how amazingly talented this band is. Other songs to check out from them... Perennial live at Wacken, Pit of Consciousness live at Kiev, Judgement (& Punishment) one take, Vortex (their newest release), I Speak Astronomy, and Teacher, Teacher if you want to see how badass she is at switching back and forth between her clean vocals and growls.

[@cra5ybeccra5ybec91]

[@koala-py7uy]

Watch her throat closely-it is very relaxed, this didn't hurt her throat she has trained this voice for a long time to be able to do that.

[@andrepierre8960]

Ohhhh wow! Dude? You are now part of the family! Perennial Live will blow you away!

[@scyphe]

She's great at growling. Dhe doesn't growl with her vocal chords, she's using the false vocal folds or vibrations of the fleshy parts above the larynx, thus she's not ruining her voice in any way. It's a technique that most people use when they growl to get that particular sound as well as avoid hurting her vocal cords. Her growls in this and other recordings have been processed and layered (down-pitched) to sound very low and deep and you can hear certain parts where there's a mix of her somewhat brighter and higher pitched natural growl mixed with the down-pitched growl. It's a purely artistic choice and they don't keep it a secret, meaning that it's not meant to impress listeners by faking it. You can hear her true unprocessed growl in this recording session video from ~2:25 and forward which is what her growl actually sound like without any layering, processing or down-pitching. Still very aggressive and impressive. Jinjer, Micro EP studio report: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2eYZnyvqbCDpM0 (Tatiana is featured from ~2:25 and forward). Arch Enemy is another band with female vocalists that growls with the best of them. Their first female growler, Angela Gossow, joined in 2000 and left in 2014 to become the bands business manager to focus on taking care of her family. She was replaced with Canadian vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, also growling. The band use processing and effects on their growls just like Jinjer and it's not just female growlers that use sound tech to improve the growl sound, the same goes for many male vocalists, again for artistic purposes.

[@megmc5683]

Your face!...so funny! Sia has left the building 🤣😂

[@richardhall6034]

Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 something you might like to check out the band is called Nightwish it's a symphonic metal band from Finland 🇫🇮 with a Dutch singer floor jansen ( the vakyrie) This band has a massive following in Europe and the Internet Nightwish ghost love score wacken open air concert 2013 And prepare for the Nightwish army arriving at the door 🚪 lol 😆

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Loved your reaction, everybody who sees this for the first time is shocked at Tatiana's vocal ability, they're a great band, really talented. A bit of background information for you on this band, they're from the Ukraine and are a Progressive Metal band, consisting of: Tatiana on Vocals , Roman on Guitar , Eugene is the Bassist, Vlad is the Drummer. This video was done a few years back by way of an introduction for their new drummer Vlad, after their previous drummer suffered a spine injury and had to quit playing with the band. Tracks to check out by them; 'Perennial' live at Wacken open air festival from 2019, 'Teacher Teacher' the official video, 'Judgement (and Punishment)' both the official video (for the story, which is great) and Tatiana's one-take vocal version (for her performance, which is also great), 'Home Back' the official video (this is a personal song for the band as it deals with the on-going conflict in their homeland) another one, is their latest release, 'Vortex' the official video, which is taken from their forthcoming album 'Wallflowers' due to be released in late August this year. There are many other great tracks too, but these that I've listed give you a good overall look at the band and Tatiana's amazing vocal range. Personally, I could listen to her sing for hours, and many people both men and women have been seduced by Tatiana's voice. 🙂

Scene: Tatiana's apartment. The doorbell rings. Tatiana answers the door and finds a Catholic priest standing there, cross in one hand, holy water vial in the other. "Can I help you?" she asks. Priest: "I'm here to perform the exorcism." Tatiana: "I didn't call for an exorcism." Demon: "I did. You scare the shit out of me!"

[@yolandria]

Tatiana's skillset is quite diverse. She has most of the skills of a pop diva and the skills of a deep bloke growler. And anything you hear on the recordings she can do live. For proof of that. Check out "Perennial" Live at Wacken 2019. Or another one..."Pit of Consciousness" Live @ Kiev. And honestly in some cases her extreme vocals actually sound better live. Oh and one of her strengths...She can switch vocal techniques on the fly without too much down time between sections. The only style of singing she hasn't displayed yet is Operatic. But everything else is on full display. And the rest of the band are all tight/amazing players in their own right.
