Vocal Coach/Musician Reacts: JINJER 'Pisces' Live! My First Listen...

[@ninaschofield]

All I can say is wow 😯 If you’d like to check out my Patreon you can do so here: www.patreon.com/ninaschofield P.s. there was a mixup with schedule’s yesterday and KZbin posted this video ahead of time, apologies if you received a notification but couldn’t watch, we’re here finally 😆

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

anna von hausswolff, come wander with me music video, please!

[@petersilver4281]

I can't even.

[@mattphillips538]

Nina, let me appeal to the producer/engineer in you: there's TWO vocal tracks... one is the main vocal, and the other chains together whispered lyrics, the straight unison double tracking of the main vocal, and the original unpitch-shifted screams. The main scream is pitch shifted down a minor 3rd giving the general timbre of a male scream. Listen carefully through the whole track and follow the second vocal...

[@HolgerNietgen]

We all could see how your brain was reset! ;-)

[@tjhorne82]

Welcome to Jinjer. Just pick a song of theirs, and you're good. Check out "Perennial live at Wacken Open Air", "Retrospection live in Melbourne" and Tatiana's one take vocal of "Judgement and Punishment".

[@richardlaundon]

I always love when ppl discover Jinjer for the first time. Tatiana is an absolute beast but hides it so well when needed :D

[@SwedeSpeeder]

It's become a hobby of mine to watch ppl react to this. 😂

[@jasonmarshall7572]

I concur

[@jimmorris67]

@@SwedeSpeeder agree but more like an obsession or addiction

[@forrestdoesallthethings8577]

I finally got to see them live this year and fell in love with them all over again. Tatiana is a savage as a vocalist and they destroy live. Can't wait to see them again.

[@NR-xd1vw]

Yeah but these reactions are so fake. They always exagerrate. This song was just shock value only. I am not really a fan of this song. But every once in a while I like to see how much they are faking it.

[@DrSkeff]

I am so glad that you picked up on the musicianship of the 3 guys. A lot of reactors get so shook by Tati that they miss out the underlying class. Great reaction as ever Nina.

[@ninaschofield]

Yeah they’re all so so talented! Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@MrDempmeister]

All of them are super talented! I LOVE the drumming in this one. The fusion of jazz and metal is so cool! And the parts where the bass and the guitar is doing the exact same melodic line is also super good.

[@williamallen7984]

The irony is they did this song to showcase the addition of a new drummer and what HE could do 😂

[@josephharrell8643]

I love Eugene, I have a soft spot for the bass. Him and the sick puppies bassist are my favs atm

[@willvr4]

To be fair, I was the same. This is one of those songs where it's insanely shocking the first time...but you appreciate it more on the 2nd listen....or 3rd....or 30th

[@chriso6719]

They are from Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, where the fighting started in 2014. Tatiana is mostly self taught. Yes, there is some post production with the layering, but that is all her. This live session was done to showcase Vlad on drums, as he had joined not long before that, but it went viral because of her vocals. Vlad is classically trained on piano, but self taught on drums. He ,Roman (guitar), and Eugene(bass), are all awesome musicians. The guys were stuck in Kiev when the current fighting started last year, but were allowed to leave last summer to tour and be ambassadors for Ukraine. I think you are correct with 7/8. Tati's astrological sign is Pisces, she writes the lyrics, the guys write the music. She can do it live too. The usual next step is Perennial live at Wacken 2019.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Great overview. I'd add that the OMV Home Back from their 2019 album Macro is about their hometown getting caught in the war. It's rare that we get the experience of war through the eyes of ordinary people caught in a conflict through their own authentic work rather than filtered through the agenda of some organization's platform. As such even before the invasion it was valuable for giving voice to the millions of ordinary people caught in every war. And since the invasion "we want our home back" has become a theme of the group's performances around the world.

[@satsunada]

I'm so f'ing excited to see her in August with Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin

[@frankhermansen243]

I've seen comments on Eugene co writing lyrics on Pisces. anyone know if this is true?

[@g0stn0te]

Jinjer are a class fucking act. SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦🇺🇦

[@shirazzza]

You bet I've got my "we want our home back" tshirt

[@ThorPughet]

"So pretty." Sips tea, smiles, waits...

[@spiderbass65]

Jinjer reactions are great, but especially by knowledgeable musicians. After you get over the shock of Tati, you see that the band is top shelf. Many styles and very complex. I’m not a big fan of most metal, but I love this band! Hope you keep the journey going, one of my favorites is the live version of Cloud Factory.

[@sleeepwalk]

Next one could be Teacher Teacher, the song is amazing, the lyrics too... Great reaction as always...

[@theidajawho]

Yes!

[@ninaschofield]

Thank you!

[@jerviepalpal-latoc9894]

i concurrrrrrrr :)

[@MikaelKnop]

Agreed! If you think alot is going on in this one, you're in for a treat! Do make it the official video, though. And might I suggest Perennial at Wacken for a great live performance after that...

[@GenXMetalHead73]

This never gets old lol! I could watch unsuspecting people reacting to Jinjer all day lol!

[@jaakkomaaniemi2136]

"Home back" is a very powerful and moving song of theirs.

[@SteveSmith-os5bs]

I have been a Jinjer fan for about 5 years now. Tatiana is the front woman and vocalist, she has a very impressive voice range, her ability to scream and growl and switch back to sweet soft vocals with smooth transition is world class. A Jinjer song can be very much like a thrill ride you never know where it is going to take you.

[@nightmarefanatic1819]

I started cackling when you said "This is super pretty" because I knew what was coming immediately afterwards. The timing was comedy gold.

[@ninaschofield]

I couldn’t quite believe it myself 😂

[@X_ch4ng3]

Great reaction as always. 😊👍 I love Jinjer, and Tatianas vocals are insane. They are as good live on stage. Saw them live on a metal festival in Oslo Norway last summer. It was on a smaller stage, but easily the highlight of the festival for me.

[@ninaschofield]

Oh wow I bet that was amazing to see live! Thanks for watching 😊

[@paulbadosa108]

Having seen quite a number of your other reactions, it delights me to see you get to Jinjer :) Tatiana's clean vocals are haughntinly beautiful, and you calling them pretty is quite the compliment! The E5 at the end is at the top of her range and she knew recording it that she would struggle to hit it live. She now sings that line using her false chord screams. Considering she smokes and doesn't warm up at all before performing, the fact she's been able to do this for well over a decade now is extremely impressive. Hope you take a look at more of their music!

[@jtraybourn1160]

Great reaction. Tatiana is a Pisces herself and the sign is the 2 fishes/ 2 personalities. It’s very deep lyrically about her struggles as a somewhat introverted person, and the dual vocal styles are just genius, adding to this masterpiece. Not even their best song, but a great starting point. Well done!

[@Angelriva]

That same reaction happened to me 3 yrs ago when I got 100% hooked by Jinjer since then. Welcome!!

[@jeffreyhanc1711]

There are 2 types of analysis of Pisces: those who can pick out and identify the 7/4 - 3/4 - 4/4 tempo changes and the majority who don’t. Kudos! (And yes, they’re recent stuff is even more progressive!)

[@neilpatrickhairless]

8:13 - I think you're the only person I have seen yet that pointed this out... Roman's guitar work in particular on this song give it that weird ebb and flow feeling... Very much like a river or the ocean

[@coder4liberty]

Going from 7/8 to 3/4 in the verse sets up the chorus. Even first time listening it feels like it's building to something which is pretty nice when it's not done with volume but with tempo and pace. I think you would like their video "Judgement and Punishment One take vocal" as well as "Perennial live at Wacken Open Air" and "Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv". Between lyrics, vocals, instrument composition and live performance they are really good. Having said that they have so many good songs on video you pretty much couldn't go wrong in watching just about any of the others out there.

[@horsehollerer]

Well done for throwing yourself into this, Nina! Simply superb. as always. Metalcore is not my thing at all but I saw them in NYC in November and basically leant against the front of the stage looking up at them mesmerised! Tati's tone kinda reminds me of Amy Winehouse (hey, I know what I mean LOL). I didn't know it was possible for humans do the things they each can do in a live setting. Vocally, it's the speed and effortlessness with which Tati can switch between angelic vocals and demonic growling. If you want to check out what they are like in a proper live setting, take a look at "Perennial" live at Wacken - a stunning mix of melodic jazz, belting, poetry and, well, noise!

[@ninaschofield]

Thanks so much for watching and for your suggestion!

[@RonniePeterson]

Most just focus on the vocals, for good reason, but your comments on the music itself were really enjoyable and informative Thank you.

[@Fenthule]

Always love seeing people's first experience with Jinjer. The ENTIRE band is incredible, every member is a master of their instrument. As I'm sure there's already comments below, but if you want to experience them again live their Wacken set for Perennial is absolutely FANTASTIC. It's the one where Tati is dressed up like a Ferrero Rochet lmao If you'd like to experience a similar type thing with another band, Spiritbox is another absolutely incredible band with a singer who's got the sauce. She does one take vocal performances for some of their songs and they're all just bewildering. I'd suggest starting with Circle with Me or Rule of Nines, both are live vocal one takes.

[@willvr4]

You're the first person to mention that they are all facing each other during the performance...I've seen this video literally 30+ times but never really picked up on how important that might have been to the performance. It's so tight instrumentally.

[@brettcaron6421]

Welcome to Jinjer! Waited for this reaction for a long time. The musicianship is on another level. Please consider reacting to Teacher Teacher next.

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

Great Ukranian band Jinjer, and Tati is astonishing........awesome sound, love it!

[@billspruce8368]

I love hearing a reaction from a person with technical musical knowledge... YES... bass lines... the song is a masterpiece.

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

GOOOIIING SHOPPING!!

[@joshwilliams8863]

Wow, this is the first reaction I've seen that points out that bass line in the bridge with as much joy as it brings me! I've always thought of the "Pisces" aspect of the music being the contrast between the ethereal calm sections and heavy growl sections: "One being brings life, another runs for death"!

[@ninaschofield]

A fellow bass line fan 🙌🏻

[@MrHws5mp]

@@ninaschofield Eugene, the bass player, is also one of the primary composers of the music, so it's no surprise that the bass line gets it's space. He's put several bass play-throughs up on KZbin that you might like to check out. He's really incredibly good and very innovative.

Pisces- two fish one angelic and one demonic in one person fighting for control. The Yen and Yang of the zodiac.

[@weaselpopper]

This is the entry to Jinjer song for most, the Jinjer rabbit hole runs deep. So many great songs each unique.

[@candybanks8717]

I like how the tambor of the bass makes it sound like it's underwater. Amazing attention to detail in this song. Also the unsung hero on the organ/keyboard with its tremulous vibrato also strikes an aquatic theme with my ears. Fabulous studio work!

[@EdYardo210]

I love reactors who have musical background. Jinjer sound is complex and the music is so incredible… can’t wait til you check out more from Jinjer. I’d recommend Jinjer - Perennial live at Waken

[@klausbak8211]

Just love this song - hard to imagine, but they are just as good live. Tati is such a Power House. Great to see your reaction on this one too. Always enjoy your reactions….dont forget Nightwish though….😂

[@ninaschofield]

Haha I won’t ☺️ Thanks for watching!

[@umgwahumgwa]

very very nice reaction. lots of interesting things pointed out. hope there will be more Jinjer reactions!

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Yes. What you said. Vladislav absolutely kills it on the drums. Eugene and Roman on the guitar and bass show absolutely impeccable timing; the band's incredibly tight synchronicity is showcased in all of their work. This particular song is about dichotomies, with the connection to Pisces being that the star sign is often depicted as two fish swimming in opposite directions. "Today I'll be a friend of mine / who swallows suffering with smile" is about how we mask our feelings and tolerate bad situations. "Pisces swimming through the river / all their lives against the stream / searching for a hook to catch on / and see their sunbeam." This refers to the way naïve young women will seek a relationship that isn't good for them, as they imagine that it will lead to a better place. "Don't suffocate in painful torture / On cutting tables of callous men / Under the knives of handsome butchers / Emeralds are ripped away." This is an admonishment to get out of the toxic relationship, the emeralds being either a metaphor for hopes and dreams or a reference to shiny fish scales.

[@jabberwokee4127]

Great analysis and reaction. Liked and sub’d. You absolutely must check out Perennial live at Wacken 2019. This band is one of the very few that may actually sound better live than in studio. More Jinjer please and thank you! 🤘🍻

[@ninaschofield]

Thank you so much!

[@BrandHilton]

This is one of the best Pisces reaction videos I've seen. You picked up the time signatures, which isn't called out by many. You picked up on the doubling, too, although in a different part of the song than where I hear it best. To me, the roars are where the doubling is most evident. Everyone in this band is just super talented. Thanks for the video!

[@WastedContender]

I've never been into metal, but Jinjer took me off guard. This song gives me the shivers, even after years of listening.

[@RockDocNeal]

Hi Nina, great reaction/review. You may have just entered a deep rabbit hole of great Jinjer songs. I've been a musician since I was a kid and I've played in multiple bands in several genres over the years, but I was never into metal music with harsh vocals until I discovered Jinjer near the end of 2021. I instantly loved them due to their interesting and varied songwriting, fantastic musicianship and the incredible vocals of the "metal goddess" Tatiana, with her amazing ability to instantly transition back and forth from her beautiful clean singing to some of the best scream/growl harsh vocals I've heard, female or male. I saw them perform in Boston in November and I can verify that they can pull off the music and vocals in a live performance (and Tatiana has great stage presence). A couple other Jinjer songs I'd recommend to show off their talent and versatility are...Perennial (live from Wacken 2019 video) and Wallflower (official video, which has great production and the song has a very cool "jazzy" groove and harsh vocal only in the latter half, along with lyrics relating Tatiana's struggle of being an introvert in the very public music industry). Another metalcore band that has interesting songwriting and a great female vocalist is Spiritbox (I discovered them at about the same time as Jinjer). BTW, I love your accent...it's like auditory therapy for me! 😁

[@RockDocNeal]

I forgot to mention that if you want to hear more about Tatiana and her history of singing and learning to do the harsh vocals, Elizabeth Zharoff from The Charismatic Voice KZbin channel did a fantastic interview with her last year that is almost an hour and a half long. Also, there's another Jinjer video that shows off Tatiana's vocals....it's her "one take vocal performance" video for their song Judgement and Punishment.

[@nathaniellopez6438]

[@ninaschofield]

Thanks so much Nick, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@matthewgrady3423]

-For the past year, I have been…..oh, I’ll say it….”hooked” on them because of this song. Well, I discovered them because of this song. However, I became a fan because of another song. After having listened to “Pisces” over and over again, I started checking out some of their other stuff but nothing was hitting. I was wanting another “Pisces” and wasn’t getting it. Then, I watched the official live performance for “Bad Water”, which has some great bass playing something you expressed a fondness for. After I heard that, I got it and I’ve been slowly taking them in. I’ve even taken an appreciation for the songs that didn’t hit the first time around. -Out of everything in the song, my favorite part is “Searching for hooks to catch on….” No matter how many times I’ve heard this song, I have to brace myself before that. That belt is just amazing. I’ve teared up many times after it. -A constant comment I’ve made about them is they’re a lot like Queen. First, you have an amazing lead singer who possesses an amazing presence. To go along with that, you have three talented musicians who aren’t just a back up band. They play just as big of a role as Tatiana. Finally, while they’re pigeonholed in one category, they take so much from other styles to create their own identity. - I think you probably got a lot of the same suggestions(“Judgment & Punishment, Teacher Teacher, Vortex, Perennial from Wacken, etc.). I hinted at Bad Water with the official live version from Napalm Records. From King of Everything, they did two versions of the same song with Prologue and Beggar’s Dance. It’s like with You’re Crazy by Guns ‘N Roses.

[@jameswarner5809]

Further Jinjer listening: For multi-time signature proggy epicness with a killer mind bending riff and another high E belt near the end: I Speak Astronomy For a live gig performance: Perennial, live at Wachen For an untreated live studio take and a reggae/metal fusion: Judgement And Punishment For social commentary and a bit of borderline rap: Teacher, Teacher For lyrically hard-hitting, heartfelt reflection on Russian incursion into their country: Home Back Just because it's musically brilliant, Tati does some incredible sustained growls and the video is really cool: Vortex

[@my.business]

*It never gets old to watch first time reactions Jinjer. LOL*

[@brandontolman7812]

Judgment punishment is a one take vocal solely Tatiana and a mic

[@JoseGarcia-rs4qd]

Fair to say that it wasn't her doing the harsh vocals on your first listen. That is 100% Tati and the rest of the band are music prodigies I'm here for the next one teacher teacher or her live performance perennial

[@larrysims5533]

I believe this vid was actually made to showcase the drummers mad skills but her voice just captivates everyone.

[@MrSpazbomb]

Your the first reactor I've seen to catch quickly how the music reflects the lyrics, that's my favorite part of this piece. If you look at one of the lyrical themes of fish being caught the whole pacing of the song is very much like catching a fish. The drummer sticking is the dropping of the hook (90% of reactors pause there), then it is violently pulled, the music eases as line is being given, pulled again, eased again, and then it's jerks till the fish is pulled from the water, and each section mirrors that in it's lyrical tone. It's amazing work.

[@JackW467]

Thanks for your reaction.. more Jinjer reactions, please

[@EnoKoshi]

Incredible reaction. Got the time signature, the drum runs, bass, everything. You’re amazing, musically. Totally enjoyed this.

[@godofdun]

I love when the whole band gets some love, all amazing artists.

[@nikolah.8472]

You mentioned the smooth transition between rough and smooth parts. One of their main influences is Opeth. They are the masters of smooth transitions and mixing rough and smooth parts. My suggestion would be "Harlequin Forest" and "Ghost of Perdition" as Reaction or if you want only smooth voice "Windowpane". Opeth is a really unique band with tons of amazing songs. I rank them on my personal list on the same rank as TOOL.

[@ArkiTekdVOD]

[@mrbilx]

Love the reaction, noticing the layers of different tones in the backing tracks and recognizing the musicianship, songwriting and time signatures. Very refreshing people will vary genres and praise the musicality. Props!!!!

[@mvalente]

Tatiana (the singer) is a Pisces (zodiac sign). The song is about the dual nature of those born under the sign of Pisces. The duality is mentioned throughout the lyrics, as well as in the melody and the arrangement. Thus it makes sense that Tatiana interpretation is done in a dual way, classic singing + screaming. It all comes down to the chorus: "Scale armour blaze Virgin innocence One being brings life Another runs for death" The "fish" protective scales eventually meet their end: "Emeralds are ripped away".... "On cutting tables of callous men Under a knife of handsome butchers"

[@MrFEFman]

Vlad, the drummer, is the newest member. He is not a drummer "by trade," he is a classically trained pianist. Eugene, the bassist, is an unbelievable bassist and uses 2 hand tapping techniques to fill out the sound.

[@nosneponsnek]

I love watching different people break down this song, cause I see more and more of the symbolism every time - I never noticed the sort of waning in and out, wave-like sound in the melodic parts. I also never noticed how much the time sig changes. A lot of the lyricism and the duality of the melodic and metal sections serves to represent the dual persona of opposites that is attributed to Pisces - two fish swimming in opposite directions, and thus people who are Pisces are said to be pulled in opposite directions internally. Both the wave-like feeling and not settling on one time sig fit with this symbolism. If you want more Jinjer, my vote would be for _Bad Water_ seeing how much you liked the bass. And as others have said, _Perrenial live at Wacken Open Air_ is also good.

[@4freebird69]

You should check out their song - Home Back - official video. It's about the war that broke out in Ukraine in 2014 but as you probably know, it escalated in 2022. They want their home back!!!

[@tanjajko7220]

I saw them live in Helsinki last summer. Tatiana is amazing. Her charisma and talent live - mind blowing.

[@amyraszipovits810]

Vlad, the drummer, is self-taught. Eugene, the bassist, he is a beast. Roman is awesome. Tati, who'd have thought something that crazy came from someone so tiny. Big things do come in samll packages. They are also inspired by other genres. Judgement & Punishment is a great example.

[@HandyDan]

I love a lot of songs and there are great singers. But this song is a masterpiece, all put together so smoothly, the opening guitar brings chills, the bass, dude is out of this world, playing open handed both hands. The drums, oh the drums. Such a great tempo, the way it changes and sets the mood! Then Tatiana lures you in with her beautiful voice, and looks❤ only to raise your pulse higher when she growls! Wheew.. and the lyrics, such depth and meaningful words. All this together is one incredible performance! ❤

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Fun reaction and kudos for picking up on the amazing musicianship of the whole band. They are a treat. I never liked growls before I discovered them but Tatiana is just so good at all aspects of her vocal performance it's impossible not to be drawn to it. Pisces is about Tatiana through the lens of her Pisces astrology sign - loneliness, introversion, and chronic depression, but also hope on one side; hurt anger and self destructive urges on the other. I was lucky enough to see them twice before the pandemic and they absolutely bring it on stage. Perennial live at Wacken is the usual follow-up to see them do their thing on stage with minimal post production (there are some light clean layers added in that weren't in bootlegs of the show). It also shows off her stage presence and skills as a performer - you'd never guess what she's overcoming to be what her art needs her to be which to me is incredibly inspiring. Subbed. Cheers!

[@RobertLindabury]

Just a little info on this. Tatiana is a Pisces. :-) And DUALITY: Feminine - Pisces is known as a feminine sign as it is more receptive than assertive in its energy. This is also known as Yin energy (Yang is Masculine). I think the duality really supports switching back and forth in this song. 🤘❤‍🔥

[@ninaschofield]

Thanks for the info!

[@chrstphrquin]

keep going down the Jinjer rabbit hole, it only gets better from here

[@darkaether2798]

Tatiana has a beautiful “clean” voice, but I’ll never get tired of people hearing the amazing growling for the first time. 😆

[@nwlondonmetaller3427]

What a great reaction. I like the shock expressions. What I like about the track is the instrumental key changes flowing well with the dramatic vocal changes. It is getting popular for female vocalists to sing like that, especially in Metalcore. A popular group from Canada called “Spiritbox” is a good example. Another is “Ankor - Prisoner”, it switches genres from Pop Rock to Extreme Metal. It now shows ladies are as good as men doing extreme vocals. Demi Lovato’s guitarist Nita Strauss teamed with Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy vocalist) with an amazing track a few months ago with the track: The Wolf You Feed.

[@ninaschofield]

So glad you enjoyed it! Yes the flow of the song is superb, despite the many changes 😊

[@chuckbenedict7235]

The time signature starts with 7/4 and then shifts to a 6/8, and then 8/4 bridge prior to the chorus. Tatiana said in an interview it's a big challenge for her to write the lyrics to the complex meter that the band writes. For this genre, this song, the composition, production, lyrics, and studio performances from all the band members really stand out. Great call on the wave motion of the song. It's no wonder this was their rocketship.

Tetyana Shmalyuk has been singing in 8 bands since she was 15 years old. She has made extraordinary lyrics to this song. Tetyana was born in 1987 under the zodiac sign of Pisces. As a matter of fact she is singing about a Pisces person revealing the features of character of a Pisces personality, including herself.

Everyone is shocked by Tatiana's vocals but the band is amazing. I've seen them live 2x and they are amazing. Check out "I speak astronomy" what an insane riff
