So many people don't recognise the "destructive trash monster that lives in the centre of your depression" and that's probably good. If you've ever had depression and you are aware of the destructive and negative forces swirling around in your mind, this song and the video makes perfect sense. It's cathartic and helpful - I listen to this track if I feel down. Jinjer is my medicine.

[@Jinjer13]

the same applies to me...

[@Patryn71]

I know that monster all too well.

[@ralphwiggum6385]

Too bad with age, my monster has gotten bigger and harder to control, and I can't seem to stop it

[@markhunt7682]

Tatiana’s influences wide ranging. From Lamb of God to No Doubt. You can really hear her channeling Gwen Stefani. The Jinjer sound has matured so much over the years and right now they are as good as any metal band going today. Tatiana is obviously the focus but the rest of the band is truly incredible at their craft. This band worked so hard to get where they are now, it’s truly inspiring seeing how far they have come. Excellent reaction guys, one of the best reaction channels on all of KZbin

[@TysonGiffordME]

Love this song, no repeating parts, a constant progression

[@bernhardkulzer9125]

The Art of destroying a song expertly... 🤣🤘

[@TysonGiffordME]

@@bernhardkulzer9125 no idea what you mean by this... But to clarify my point, I love that it is a constant profession it is a harder style if song writing that you don't see nearly as often, another example is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

[@bernhardkulzer9125]

@@TysonGiffordME I love "Vortex", so don`t get me wrong. It is actually that progression of pushing and soothing back and forward toward the total destruction at the very end. Always the net surprise and if you think it couldn`t get "worse" - well, Jinjer ramps it up again to leave you speechless and out of words and breath... Yeah, I really looooove that song! 😃👍

[@JesseDouglas456]

The song and video perfectly encapsulate the descent into madness. You know that the all consuming chaos is taking over, but you can't pinpoint exactly when the line is crossed.

[@clalo4]

I saw them back in November and she pulled off that switch between cleans and growls flawlessly. She is so good!!!

[@Friskee62]

I just 'subbed'. JINJER, my favorite band of all time & I am 76 years old. Got to see them Aug. 12, 2023 in Syracuse, NY. The most talented band out there...

[@davidjames6036]

Lol she does all the back and forth switches every couple words stuff live all the time......y'all need to check the hellfest 2021 or 2022 performance for vortex .... they're both great.

[@Carnage0708]

Can't believe y'all havent done this one before now. Let's goooo

[@jackgammon1490]

Some of Tatiana's main influences are Gwen Stefani (No Doubt), Amy Winehouse and Randy Blythe (Lamb of God). Once I learned that I could definitely hear it. Favorite song by them .

[@tattoodude8946]

Who's Going to be the One (Live) Napalm Records is a great live performance by Jinjer. You guys would love it! OH! And this entire album rocks. As much as I loved their other albums, the big change that made it sound so much better for me - the drummer got rid of that "poppy" tom! That always grated on me when they really cranked it up and there was this high pitched tom thumping away over everything. He must have swapped it out and all sounds smooth now. 👍

[@adwood201]

Yes, "Who Is Going To Be The One" live for sure.

[@jeffwellman8347]

Agreed

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

There is a great live version of this song (live at Hellfest) and you get to see her pull these vocals off! Great Reaction as always, keep the Jinjer coming!

[@bobbyturner1478]

This was their first release of their latest album Wallflowers. The whole album is great. They have released 2 more songs from it Wallflower and Mediator which both really show of Tati's range and talent. She nailed this song when i saw them here in Nashville back in December. Great reaction guys. Hopefully we can get more Jinjer on the playlist soon.

[@kenplotzke86]

You guys HAVE to do "Home Back". They symbolism in the lyrics is simply amazing and its a powerful song and its her lowest growls yet

[@thomaskellyjr6370]

Finally! More Jinjer!!!

[@coder4liberty]

She goes lower in "Pit of Consciousness" live in Kyiv. That would make a really good reaction.

[@omegashinra7672]

The part of this song at 4:09 in the video is top 5 riffage in metal history for me. They are absolutely just jamming away together and it hits like a truck.

[@vannaratliff5642]

And yes , she switches back and forth live

[@tayaradiomedecaires6730]

Last year I went to my first Jinger concert. It was one of the best experiences I've had. Listening to Tatiana live is mesmerizing

[@drizzin]

I always thought that the beginning of the song was her doing a tribute to Gwen Stefani/No Doubt.

[@ellavarnes2392]

You're absolutely right! She has listed her as major inspiration for vocal techniques

[@itsrickus3582]

100%

[@koonfoxmusic1472]

my #1 jinjer track, im glad you got to it!!!

[@Pufferzsola]

I'm a simple man, i see Jinjer, i see Rykerroad, i press like instantly!

[@gutter06]

You guys defo need to check out more live performances and watch Tati do this for real!

[@jasminemason1174]

They watched her do a few live takes early on so they said "we know how insane she is now" and so I think they're able to fully appreciate when they do use production

[@jasminemason1174]

But yesss!!! More live shit

[@haloslippin6894]

Saw them live in Spokane a couple months ago and it was fucking incredible. They are SO tight. And she is, of course, otherworldly.

[@jacoblaughbon3323]

Jinjer has been around for quite awhile. IMHO, their song 'No Hoard of Value', pound for pound, is their best work. Band and Tat. Y'all should check it out.

[@PABOLD007]

Best band i ever seen live!

[@Friskee62]

HOME BACK...worth the listen.

[@ellavarnes2392]

YESSS! I've been waiting on this one! Good to see Jinjer back on the channel!

[@janinebedfordl]

Great song, great video and you'd best believe she does do the "Like a feather I travel down the spiral staircase" switcheroos live 😂 Obviously on some songs from time to time she deviates from the recorded version but rarely

[@nickmoutos8308]

Love Vortex, but admittedly I love ALL Jinjer music. So many people/reactors try and figure out who they sound like, and they have a LOT of bands that have influenced them, but Jinjer sounds like JINJER, they are a band that has a style and sound all their own! Yall really need to watch 2 additional "Live" videos, "Pit of Consciousness" and "On the Top" both "Live from Kiev."

[@danialmuhamad9910]

5:30 fyi guys, she always do the transition live accurately

[@h23erst923]

Gwen Stefani is one of her big influences, and it’s super apparent in this song.

[@jamminjeeper5854]

Vlad, Roman, Eugene...you know the members of the band. Wicked drumming, bass riffs and guitar riffs in so much of Jinjers music. Go back and just listen to the bass, or guitar or drumming. It's amazing.

[@penseesdeseb4919]

2nd hello :) If Eric want feel himself "Shirley" again, I think "Retrospection" is the perfect one. And theres slow melodics part and realy crushy parts so he woul'd appreciate.

[@SparkimusPrime]

Whoever told you not to look at the lyrics is doing you a huge disservice. Tatiana writes poetry. Check out more please!!

[@braxtoncooper2460]

Pit of Consciousness and Mediator are some of the best I've heard from Jinjer

[@xboxgamertrev6763]

For me I usually just go for the vibe for the first time hearing something and anything after that is then spent trying to dissect the lyrics

[@amandag1337]

Some people have made the comparison to Gwen Stefani as far as her clean singing voice. Tatiana is amazing and unique in her own ways of course!

[@BaronEmjay]

In some interviews, she did say that she is influenced by the early No Doubt Gwen Stefani.

[@lowest666]

oh yes i was waiting 4 this one!!

[@louisgilson9574]

I love the coheed and cambria reference! I definitely thought here we are juggernaut when I saw it.

[@cyrilvey5757]

HI Guys. Nice to have you back to Jinjer. This is a f****g good song and nineties vibes maybe remiond you Gwen Stefani, who's one of Tatiana's fav singer and influenced her a lot for her singing. You have to have a look at the live version of Vortex at Hellfest 2020. First time performed on stage and her growls are even deeper and the back and forth between clear and growls is just wtf! Having said that keep enjoying Jinjer and as usual Slava Ukraini 💙💛

[@tigran2210]

You need to react to her one take Judgement & Punishment, it'll blow your socks off! PS. I know that you've checked it, I'm just a very exicted dummy :D

@@tigran2210 Can't judge you, that song is a total banger lol

[@penseesdeseb4919]

Hello. Still a pleasure to see you react. What is realy cool with that band is they do many different things. someone who know nothing about music will never pick a song is from the same band that an other. But when you know a little about, you can pick "that bass line should be Eugen", "that drums should be Vald", ... Like you're back to jinjer, I think you could like Wallflowers, a "soft" one, and very major part is cleans vocals. And if you wan't hear Tati goes realy crazy with vocals, go to Pit of consciousness (live Kiev is (I think) better than album version. (one more time sry if my english is not perfect, I'm Belgian, not my native langage :) )

[@IAmGRX]

Love this song. It's about spiraling down into dark thoughts. Thoughts so heavy that they crush you like a lead ball and suck you into the hole they make as they smash through the floor. Basically spiraling out of control. This song is perfect for that kind of thing.

[@hemlock399]

Tati does the clean/growl switching & the final low guttural incredibly we live. Check out Jinjer - Vortex [Live Hellfest 2021]. Their lyrics are worth understanding. This song is about how negative thought patterns can drag you down into depression. The vortex represents that thought pattern, distorting & drawing everything into itself, & then finally, destroying all that it devours. My favourite verse: "Like a feather I travel down (a spiral staircase); One more loop through abyss (where stairs are erased); Like a feather I travel down (a spiral staircase); Falling deeper than it is (all stairs are erased)". This describes how the descent is gentle, imperceptible, how the way out is obliterated behind you, & how the pit into which you descend is seemingly bottomless. "Vortex" Like a lunatic, frantic The man in the room looks so dramatic With a left shoe on his right foot This spiral traffic feels too traumatic, too traumatic Quiet The man is wandering around Where's the way out he never found? And inside There's a ball made of lead It's rolling and rumbling on parquet, yeah Oh, how heavy is the ball? It bends his spine to the very ground Neither his nor another Enormous, ludicrous Oh, how heavy is his thought? In a half an hour or so It crushed the floor And smashed the man's toes Oh, how heavy is his thought In a half an hour or so It crushed the floor And smashed the man's, soul (Whirl), through the black hole in the floor (Spin), I begin my whirl (Swirl), I'm a driftwood with no strength (Spin), without soul, with no will Like a feather I travel down (a spiral staircase) One more loop through abyss (where stairs are erased) Like a feather I travel down (a spiral staircase) Falling deeper than it is (all stairs are erased) Through rapids and stones I came like water and like wind I go Through rapids and stones I came like water and like wind I go Spin, swirl Whirl, spin, swirl Swirl Whirl, spin, swirl Whirl, spin, swirl

[@michellegreene81]

Yes! One of my fave newer songs from Jinjer. I love the imagery of this video - I picture all of the items flowing into the vortex as a metaphor for the way that musicians pull ideas from everything around them in order to create their songs. Great reaction, please do more from this album - Wallflower and Mediator are also great tracks.

[@marloeslaughter8688]

Well then… I feel miles away from where this song started to the finish… just like Kyle said, the song started with a very slow build, and then the finish had me hooked! Seriously went into the vortex and ended up in a different world!

[@vannaratliff5642]

I've been waiting for this for months ....

[@GiancarloBello]

In another react video I saw, someone compared one of her vocal styles matches Britney Spears, they even demonstrated it, and you can hella hear the similarity

[@DarkThanatos]

next xD home back... another good delivery from Tatiana vocals :D

[@christopherwashburn8163]

The drums, building and progressing in a non-repeating avalanche. The brutal base line laying it down for Tati to build on, and the guitar keeping the progressive melody going! Pure art! Nothing like this anywhere!

[@nickclark6236]

If you want to hear what she sounded like early on in her career. Bad Water is a good song to show her cleaner vocals.

[@user-xc8nq4xj4j]

Her singing reminds me of Coheed and Cambria in this one

[@aileenlehner8072]

The beginning of the song reminded me on Guano Apes, which is a band from the 90s and is one of Tatjanas inspirations, I think

[@DimebagWuest]

🙏💪🇺🇸! FYI- she states Gwen Stefoni as an inspiration and you can hear it in her singing. Seriously, just listen to the singing parts and you can hear No Doubt in your head.

[@alexzupsic6455]

I was thinking the same thing. She has hints of Gwen's sound on Spiderwebs and Don't Speak. First time hearing this band and really like the sound.

[@filipd.dobrev2935]

What Eric said about the switching, best one I've ever heard/seen Linkin Park - QWERTY live at Summer Sonic 2006. The amazing Chester B

[@vannaratliff5642]

God damn Tatianas talent

[@joejacobsen6822]

She sounds like Gwen in her No Doubt days.

[@housemansson]

She reminds me of Gwen Stefani in this song during those parts in the first half.

[@cenobytecode]

In her interviews she talked about challenging it was for her lyrically because the other members were pumping out these crazy technically complex songs. Also she writes in Russian and then transliterates to English.

[@jodimayer225]

I get what you were saying about a '90s sound. Kinda of reminded me of Lee Aaron a little in the beginning.

[@jeffreyhanc1711]

Yo, Can’t believe you guys didn’t comment on just how brilliant the musicianship is here. Tati is phenomenal- got it. But Jinjer musically has def moved into some serious progressive terrain here, and they’re masters of it. Not everyone’s cup of tea, for sure. But worth noting. ✌🏼😊

[@frankh9600]

Absolutely! A reaction lady from Finland recognised King Crimson vibes in this track which I fully endorse (my fb image clearly shows my preferences) As I prefer instrumental music to vocal, jinjer got me here. BTW, I consider Tati as the lead guitar and illiuminous lyricist.

[@jeffreyhanc1711]

@@frankh9600 yup. I love crimson (and Yes, and 70s Genesis and Rush etc). You can definitely hear those classic prog influences in a lot of great modern prog metal, like Jinjer.

[@Somasteel]

This and Home Back are IMO an Homage to Mike Patton...(Eric....your right) "Faith No More"/" Mr.Bungle" 90's metal!

[@paulie98vr6]

Gwen Stefani’s sound is along the lines of what you’re thinking of. She is one of her inspirations for her vocals.

[@lonerangerak5232]

Her inspiration is Gwen Stefani which you hear big time in Who is gonna be the one and Judgement and Punishment . Her voice to me has the same tone as Brittany Spears . Just imagine BS singing metal when you listen to her clean voice and you won’t be able to unhear it . I love Jinjer

[@PABOLD007]

The guitarist scream too

[@dkorody81]

The word you were looking for to describe her vocal style in this song was - GRUNGEY. Very Alice In Chains (not exactly) but stylistically

[@danielbeck9310]

Would love to see you guys do some more Jinjer. Pit of Consciousness Live in Kiev will blow you away!

[@SSslicerSS]

If you really want a good low growl plus a very good lyrical depth from JINJER, go react to Home Back. It was made from a perspective of a 14 year old witnessing war. It really hits hard because their home country(Ukraine) was affected by war almost a year back.

[@travesty-studios]

Switching cleans in recording is usually two takes, but she 100% performs this live.

[@Jthmdave]

If you haven’t already, home back is killer

[@aidanmaley8905]

You should definitely get some more of Courtney and Spiritbox on here again to follow up!!

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

This is a gorgeous thru-composed (coz #WhoNeedsChoruses, that's why!) masterpiece. :) Not for a reaction vid obvy, but I reckon you'd appreciate the bass playthrough vid Eugene uploaded for this - it's a 5-string drop-A #MasterClass, using *all* the technique while being 100% in service to the piece. It's also a blueprint showing how a top-notch bassist can make a single-guitarist heavy band sound HUGE! ;)

[@karencommentz8658]

[@davesoto1042]

There performance of this song on hellfest during the pandemic was amazing spot on. I think you two would enjoy a lot.

[@SleeperB18C2]

Hey guys, I love your Jinjer reactions. I know you often react to songs from your patreon fans, but you might be missing the best banger from Jinjer yet. "Call me a Symbol" has the by far the two best growls from Tatiana. And the song is musically insane. It has to rival Pisces in term of screams. I would love to watch you guys react. Its amazing. Love your content!

[@alwaysprepared]

You guys are drinking too much popcorn... LOL Her growl going into the Vortex was totally insane!

[@plantdesigns7889]

For something a little bit (actually quite a bit 😂) different with Tatiana, check out the now defunct band Twelve Foot Ninja and their song Over and Out. The video is weird as hell, that's just who they were, but you can really hear the Gwen Stefani influence in Tati's voice. Great song, weird video 😂. I so miss that band.

[@jeffwellman8347]

Get the lyrics and react to "I speak Astronomy" (OMV). The song is great but Tatiana's poetic writing is even better. Good reaction.

Nothin to do with this vid but I just watched an old ren song that he had released again called crutch which highlights a relationship he had at the time and it was b4 his diagnosis when he had no clue what was happening to him...to say I cried is an understatement...he actually almost screams metal style on this...which made my heart jump out of its chest...hope u check it out at some point..that goes for any ren fan here that hasn't heard it x

[@jarmve]

The "90's sound" or voice you're trying to guess is Gwen Stefani maybe? That's what I think when I hear her sometimes

[@elieshas2040]

You should definitely check out OTEP sometime! She’s the reason Tati wanted to learn how to do the deep growls and screams 😊 she couldn’t believe it was a woman haha

[@duncanreid9199]

With whats going on in Ukraine “Home Back” should be a inevitable reaction to all reactors to help raise awareness of their plight over there. Plus its an absolute banger

I feel like if Eric can handle this he is ready for Polaris - Masochist
