🎵JINJER - Perennial Live at Wacken Reaction 

What you see is a circle pit. The crowd runs around in a circle. A mosh pit we all slam into each other. It’s a primal release but if you see someone fall we have to pick them up before they get trampled. The wall of death the crowd splits in two and then slams into one another like a battle field. Crowd surfing the crowd lifts you up travels you from around.

Its actually incredibly easy to find DEEP lyrical meaning in Metal, its everywhere

I think Lex will completely crush on Jinjer after "Teacher, teacher" song. And it could be the first Jinjer song Brad will enjoy.

Perennial a plant that whiters away in the winter and starts blomming again in summer. the song is a metaphore for the depression she suffers during the winters and get away from in summer.

Perennial is about the change of seasons. How in the fall and winter everything seems to die out, but it's not really dead it's just sleeping until spring. So the lines " your not dead, no your not dead, just enjoying coma" illustrates the cycle of life.

You can read the lyrics right after the song, they will not disappoint you. It's about nature that dies and resurrects over and over again. It's about Tatiana's depressions as she said. Don't be fooled by Tatiana's growls, she is a very nice, fragile and humble person. I am a little bit puzzled how quickly Lex diving into Jinjer. I am a metal-head guy listened to their songs several times before getting into those growls. But the tiny girl Lex enjoys it from the first try! Some people really born for this kind of music.

Yes, it's a mosh pit and there are several forms of it. The one you see in this video is called a circle pit, but if you'll watch the official video of Jinjer song Teacher, Teacher then you'll see another type called The Wall of Death (description unnecessary, trust me, you'll see it) and yes, people have died in these types of "dancing".

"From the ashes of my roots, the new me will rise to live again. This is poetry of youth, this is poetry of me and you..."

Once you read the lyrics, its A LOT easier to hear them

Simply put “Teacher Teacher” official music video and do more Jinjer. Great reactions by you. P. S. They are touring the USA this fall. Schedule is out.

This song uses the metaphor of perennial plants that “die” each winter and are reborn each spring to describe the seasonal depression that Tatiana suffers from during winter months. From the ashes of my roots. The new me will rise to live again. This is poetry of youth. This is poetry of me and you. Definitely check out lyrics for Jinjers songs. They all are packed with deep meaning.

Hey bro, completely love the reaction of you and your lady to this band. As an older African-American that loves metal and has listen to it for the last 35 years and as a guitar player myself I have often found that not many of my peers understand or listen to the things that I love and I would say to you that the lyrical content in this type of music is very deep and beautiful and artistic and would challenge you to continue on this journey. Check out “teacher teacher “next as the intro has an almost hip-hop flow to it but of course with Jinjer being the incredible band they are they take you on a journey from there 🙏🏾✌🏾

"Who's gonna be the one." Is a must. It will be another level of the band that you haven't heard yet.

Watching your reactions from the other side of the lake, here in Norway. There's something intriguing about seeing you guys work through these songs, sensing, feeling, being confused, excited ... enlightened? Wish you both the best with your fantastic youtube-channel.

his autumn feels like funeral to me The longest song of grief And not for what has passed But for what shall last Exhausted nature is so tragic and suicidal Oh how spectacular she is when she kills herself Death throes are slowly crawling to her toes As the last leaf is falling off her head I'm here with her undressed With a few petals on my breasts We shared opiates and let the landscapes do the same I love your warmth but yet prefer to sleep in cold alone We fixed our eyes up to the sky To see a flight send us farewell Goodbye May we see each other next time So please, come back to celebrate this festival of life Then as now fly Today you reached the point of no return Now cry and then die Tomorrow I will meet you with your cells restored Annual tradition of mass destruction In the name of total reconstruction My biggest source of confusion The reason of decay and disillusion Under permanent ice We found a breathless paradise No, we're not dead No, we're not dead Just enjoying coma From the ashes of my roots The new me will rise to live again This is poetry of youth This is poetry of me and you From the ashes of my roots The new me will rise to live again This is poetry of youth This is poetry of me and you

So, from my understanding this song is about Seasonal Depression. The concept of dying every winter and being restored every spring just as perennial plants are. Loved the reaction. Gotta check out “Who is gonna be the one” live and “Teacher, Teacher” next. Keep it up y’all!!!

Nice reaction you two. I love how Lex gets all happy and into it. Jinjer is a phenomenal band, not just Tati even though she gets the most attention because of her incredible vocals, Eugene, (bass), Roman (guitar), and Vlad (drums) are equally phenomenal. I got the VIP meet and greet tickets to see them in L.A. in October, so to finally see them live and meet them is going to be incredible. They announced their North American tour about a month ago, so they might be in a city near you in case you wanna see them just saying 😉😉 The crowd going in a circle is called a "circle pit" and it happens at metal concerts, but it's all voluntary, like take for instance me, I'm 50, and when I see Jinjer I'm going to avoid one if it comes near me, because at my age, it could end up very bad for me LOL. 😊😊😊 I would suggest having the lyrics pulled up so you can follow along, you would be surprised how much easier it becomes to understand what Tati is saying when she growls. If you guys choose to react to more Jinjer, you won't be disappointed, each song is unique and different, some songs are heavy, others are not, but each one is fantastic. I'm going to throw out a Jinjer suggestion for you, and that song is I Speak Astronomy (OMV) it's a beautiful song, and the video is awesome. Peace you two, and as always, stay Metal. 😊😊🤘🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Lex is such a metalhead! I just love watching the excitement when you listen to metal music. Loving the reactions!

I love watching someone waking up to to metal music. I think if it doesn't come naturally you can gain an ear for it, but Lex is a natural born metalhead, no doubt.

Teacher Teacher OMV would be a good next choice Nice reaction

Lex the pure enjoyment in your face is Priceless. Great reaction as always. you guys . You'll should check out Teacher Teacher next

You need to react to judgement and punishment one take. It's just Tatiana doing the vocals but live kinda.

Love the reaction. Tatianna is AWESOME! Do Judgement (& Punishment) next. You will love it. Peace be with you!

Yet another great reaction! Brad you are getting it”From the ashes of my roots” check out Teacher Teacher next, you can hear her hip hop influence on that track! Looking forward to watching your Jinjer journey!

I thought I commented on this, but I guess I didn't. Love your reaction :) It's cool watching your Jinjer journey. Yeah, the lyrics are definitely a big thing with Jinjer. Tatiana puts a lot of effort into them and they have depth and are typically very poetic. This song is an awesome poem on it's own, then add the music and yeah, it's great. Of all the singers who do extreme vocals, I can understand Tatiana the best (and she sounds the best). She really puts a lot of effort into enunciation so you can hear what she is saying. She has a message and definitely wants people to hear it. The extreme vocals are all part of the expression of the songs for a reason. Tatiana has said in interviews she deals with seasonal depression. This song uses the cycle of the seasons as a metaphor for going into depression in autumn ("Autumn feels like funeral to me") and then coming back out of it in spring. Nature slowly dies in the autumn ("annual tradition of mass destruction") and goes into coma in the winter ("under the ice we found breathless paradise", "no we're not dead, no you're not dead, just enjoying coma"). Then nature lives again in the spring ("from the ashes of my roots, the new me will rise to live again"). Love this song! Yeah, Teacher, Teacher or I Speak Astronomy would be great next: I Speak Astronomy: Official Video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KJoPIgg17U4.html&ab_channel=NapalmRecords (this is Tatiana sending a message out to the universe for her soulmate. The only "romantic" song of theirs). Teacher, Teacher: Official Video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oRkRwL0vjOg.html&ab_channel=NapalmRecords (this is about people who abuse their power or position and tell people how to live when they themselves have no clue really, using a religious school scenario as the story). Yeah, check out the Tour dates for Jinjer. I have VIP tickets for the Portland, OR Oct 24th show, can't wait! They just announced another show in Portland on the 25th as well.

This song is pretty much about autumn bringing death or sleep, birds fly south & the snow comes. Then spring brings a beautiful restoration & awakening . And to showcase her amazing vocals obviously

It's called a circle pit

Next you really need to check out Teacher Teacher next. You won't be disappointed.

I really, really enjoyed your reaction to this 🖤🖤🖤 Tatiana’s lyrics are poetry. I don’t know where you guys are from but Jinjer announced tour dates. I’m so excited!! It will be my first concert since the dark times started lol If you guys listen then read the lyrics then listen again, you’ll be able to understand more and more on new songs. It’s like muscle memory for your ears lol Can’t wait for more!! 🖤

Great reaction guys! "Teacher Teacher" is a good one to listen to next.

Next up Jinjer - Teacher Teacher coming up later Nightwish - Ghost Love Score, The Islander live at Tampere, The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tampere in the Reaction Channel Hierarchy :D EDIT: "Wacken Open Air is a heavy metal music festival, held annually since 1990 on the first weekend of August in the village of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

Lex's hype is so contagious! I love that

We need to get you two to a Jinjer show and into the mosh pit. Don't worry, some of the nicest people you ever meet will be in a mosh. Everyone is pushing and shoving, but we look out for each other too.

Lex’s excitement for hearing new metal songs/bands is reigniting my own love for the genre :)

GREAT REACTION AND THE SHOWS ARE GREAT I HAVE SEEN JINJER IN AMSTERDAM FEW YEARS AGO TATIANA IS AMAZING

Just wanna say you guys really do an awesome job on your reactions. Looks like you guys are getting an ear for this. One band I would like you guys to react to is... Unleash The Archers - Awakening You will be able to understand the vocals for sure in this band....considered power metal. I'm sure you guys will like it hands down

Great reaction.... she is totally hooked on Jinjer now. There's nothing wrong with reading over the lyrics. I've seen reactors do it either just before they hit play or they get going about half way through then pause real quick to do a quick read. Or even pull them up and have them ready at the end of the song so you guys can talk about them. No matter what you do, I promise... the more you listen to this style of music, the easier you'll pick up lyrics. If you guys choose to do my favorite song by them "Home Back"... I would definitely read over before watching. The band members come from Ukraine and the song basically talks about what it was like for them growing up in a literal war zone. So knowing the lyrics before hand , then seeing the visuals of the video, really gives an impact on the viewer. Keep it up... you guys are awesome!

You two are great. "Teacher, Teacher" official video next. I'd say look the lyrics over before listening. Pretty deep, and you'll hear the words better when she's singing.

Hi guys! That group of fans going around in a circle is called a "circle pit," which is one type of mosh pit. I've got tickets for Jinjer in Atlanta this December, but I paid for an actual seat because I'm too old for the mosh pits, ha ha. This show was taped at a huge metal music festival in Wachen, Germany. Tatiana calls her low, distorted vocals her "growls. She calls her regular singing voice her "clean" vocals. So you'll often hear metal fans using the terms growls and cleans. I first heard of Jinjer via RU-vid and am now a big fan, with all of their CD's. The more you listen to the growls, the more you're able to decipher them. Thanks for a GREAT reaction! Take care.

I love watching people discover Jinjer. They are, for lack of a stronger word, phenomenal. Their musicality is always on point, Tatiana is prodigious, and they aren't afraid to blend genre's. I would recommend Teacher, Teacher as a song to react to. What they showed there is a circle pit, a type of mosh pit. Moshing is a cathartic release. A lot of people who listen to metal do it because they identify with some anger, or angst portrayed in the music. Moshing is a way to 'safely' exert that release. They are violent, but nobody is trying to hurt anyone else, and anyone who is trying to is handled in swift and decisive fasion. There's no room for hate in the pit.

Her voice can change so quick! She’s the Queen of Metal to me.🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸 Yes it’s a MoshPit people banging to each other and round in circles!

Brad, that is what you call a Circle Pit, as you can imagine, you just charge each other in a circle with all of the energy given through the live music. It's so friggin fun man, nobody means harm at a concert like this. It's all love for the music

Lex: "WE GOTTA GO TO ONE OF THESE! 😍" She's been converted! lmao It's always amazing to see non-metal heads straight up fall in love once they hear a metal band that can get their attention. 👍 Welcome aboard the crazy train. You guys might have just opened the biggest rabbit hole that exists. (there's hundreds of different metal genres)

Love that you are loving Jinjer! "I Speak Astronomy" is phenomenal and most people overlook it!

From the ashes of my roots.....the new me will rise to live again.......this is poetry of youth......this is poetry of me and you.....

Welcome to the metal family

I love that Brad is completely open to the moshpit. I've seen so many people say oh hell na but Brad kept an open mind to it. Lex you can tell when she's vibing out she's so happy. Yalls reactions are imo the best on youtube!

Brad and Lex are bringing something to the reactions that's really fresh. And Brad's right, Lex was born for this. I feel like if Lex ever met Tatiana they would instantly click.

Jinjer is touring the USA this winter with Suicide Silence. Awesome reaction guys!

They have great deep lyrics. You will understand "Teacher, Teacher" (official video) more and you will see heads banging. Be sure to play the video to the very end. Nice couple! Keep that girl...she is happy and a keeper!

From the ashes of my roots the new me will rise to live again This is poetry of youth, this is poetry of me and you!

Great reaction! If you ever visit a metal concert, you'll see, that metal people are mostly the nicest people ever. For example: if you fall in the mosh pit every one around you will work together to keep you from getting trampled and to lift you up as fast as possible. Since you started venturing into Rock and Metal, here are some suggestions: Metallica: One Rammstein: Du Hast live from Paris Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody Iron Maiden: Fear Of The Dark Guns n' Roses: November Rain Rage Against The Machine: Killing In The Name Of Slipknot: Unsainted Slipknot: Spit It Out live at Download Festival Corey Taylor (singer of Slipknot): Spit It Out acoustic live in London Stone Sour: Through Glass Dragon Force: Through Fire And Flames Soul Asylum: Runaway Train Pink Floyd: Another Brick In The Wall The Offspring: Pretty Fly ... Greetings from Germany

Yes! Go to one of Jinjer's concerts!

Teacher, teacher next. You can understand more of the words on that song.

I love you guys. You both have such unique perspectives but the combo is perfect. Great commentary. Keep on going, the Jinjer rabbit-hole only gets better and better.

Another great reaction! I really enjoy listening to your analysis of these songs. So much fun!

Great reaction you two!! That was fun and what a badass song!! Damn!

Love your reactions to Jinjer! Look forward to following you on this ( and other) ride! Would be great to get your take on going to a Jinjer concert. I am catching their gig in Seattle later this year ( saw them there couple of years ago, amazing!).Keep Rocking!!! ✌🏻🤘🏻

Your final breath is paradise !!! Her lyrics are amazing

Lex is the shit. I love how she just naturally loves it

I love them 😍 And I really like you guys and how open you both are to new things . We want to go to their concerts too .

Today is the first day I viewed your Jinjer videos (Pisces and Perennial). I loved your candid sincerity. It brought tears to my eyes.....you two are so good together. And......your first reaction was just like mine. I had to listen to Jinjer more and more to catch the lyrics. Once I did, I was even more blown away. This will be the first band I see live after COVID.

Another great reaction! Lex is coming out of the closet as a Full Metalhead! As others have said: TEACHER TEACHER and JUDGEMENT AND PUNISHMENT (ONE TAKE) next…one has a hip hop vibe and the other has a Reggae vibe (like Pisces, which has a jazz vibe)…

"Teacher Teacher" "Who is gonna be the One" (live) and there are so many great songs... just dig in. your reactions are great. Thank you guys!

Great job guys. Love it

Love watching you two react together ❤

One of the best live bands out right now. Sick playing and singing.

Thanks for the reaction. It’s great seeing both of you enjoying this song.

you Guys Have Become my fav Jinjer Reactor Keep Up the Great Work ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

If you want to keep going down the Jinjer rabbit hole, check out Tatiana's one take vocal performance of Judgement and punishment. She sings reggae metal! It's insane!

Just a note about that concert and the monitor (ear piece). They had a 5 min delay while the organizers worked on bleed through from another band into their monitors. Just before her slide and belt she flipped the monitor out because she had been singing with another dude singing in her ear and she didn't want to mess up. That's why you see her keep fiddling with the monitor in that song. She's an amazing professional.

I think Brad is right you were born for this. Welcome to the Family 🤘🔥

Jumped in with a floatation device, lmao, nice illustration. Nice reaction. It's good to see honest reactions, like Brad not faking that it's the most incredible thing he heard like some RU-vidrs do to please fans and get views. People are allowed to like different things and react accordingly and it's great. If you want more Jinjer, there is usually a sequence to get introduced to the whole Jinjer experience, which you currently are on. Next up should either be Judgment & punishment, one take vocal, if you want more of Tatiana or Teacher,Teacher official video if you want to see a more complex song musically, with great performance from everyone and a more intense sound. Keep the vids coming and the reactions true to yourselves and the Jinjer fanbase will always show to support. Cheers

Once again loved the reaction. You guys are amazing. You should do Jinjer - Judgement and Punishment one take singing. It is amazing and its so strange for this genre because they actually put in a Regea fill to it. Its amazing. Much love to both of you!

This was a fun reaction. Definitely Teacher, Teacher next. Have fun and more Jinjer please and thank you.

Thanks for checking them out and providing a reaction. A huge shout out to her band for being so musically awesome!

*Haven't watched this yet, but here, have a like, cause I know this reaction about to be 🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒*

Jinjer is coming to Lawrence Kansas November 4th and it's not sold out yet...... Can't wait to see them, but would be cool if you got to see them too ❤️ and if we got to see you too haha! Love your content and y'all's energy! Glad I found your channel💕💕💕

LEX cracks me up 🤣 Both of you are great & give a natural unforced reaction to genre's of music you don't have a ear for YET👍🏻

The video to the song is a must to react to. What a great band!

cant wait to see them in Atlanta in December, you have taken a no return road to greatness when you started this Jinjer path. enjoy it

The G.O.A.T. is on display and when you're caught up in a mosh pit....go with the flow

great reaction and comment guys. ty so much for the reactions.

I love you two , you guys are adorable.

You know Tatiana of Jinjer. Now you must see Floor Jansen of Nightwish. They played at Waken (this same festival) in 2013 to a crowd of 82,000. Check out Ghost Love Score from that performance and prepare for an absolutely incredible voice and musicanship that is top tier and may bring tears. Many many great songs to enjoy.

I'm new to this channel thanks to the Jinjer reacts. Really cool, genuine stuff that's been fun to watch. I needed the positivity today. Since the other comments have a lot of the music covered, here's the deal with the crowds. The standing crowd where people are shoulder-to-shoulder and squashed together is the "mosh pit". As for what to do, generally whatever you're actually able to do. Jump and nod/bang your head, mostly. The guys running in a circle are the creatively-named "circle pit". If you ever go to a show, these are to be avoided. What was seen here is the tame version, likely thanks to Jinjer's tempo shifts. The circle pit will commonly clear out a section in the middle reserved for running into each other and other... let's say "aggressive" activities. Leaving with injuries is just an accepted possibility. But to leave on a more positive note, crowd surfing was also shown. Getting carried above a crowd, and helping crowd surfers towards the front, where they get helped down and led back to the crowd, can be a weirdly communal experience. Search "wheelchair crowdsurf" to see crowds of crazy, tattooed metal heads routinely come together to do something cool.

love the Circle Pit!!!! I have been in a few of them lots of fun.

they are touring your country later this year , they visited us last march in australia before the world went to shit , saw 4 of their 6 shows , they were brilliant and as a 56 year old i got in the mosh pit every night . the song is about her seasonal depression .

You'll definitely get a better ear for what you are hearing. Not just vocally but all the working parts in the band. This band definitely has talent all around and is fun to hone in on each instrument. Good reaction!

Been watching your pisces, teacher teacher and this video, love to see you're both into it :) What they were doing is a 'circle pit' the mosh pit is generally the area in front of the stage where most people tend to 'mosh' . It looks violent, but it really isnt. You should really really check out a metal gig once, the metal community is probably the most welcoming of them all :) and Lex is for sure a born metal head haha

We have to go to one of theeeeesssseee…so loving…

Mosh pit = a "dance of wild" do your thing, swing yo stuff and bump & push off of each other while trying to stay on your feet. A Circle pit (what you see here) is much the same except everyone is moving in the same direction. A Wall of Death is where the moshers line up across from each other and when the beat drops they run slamming into each other and start a mosh. It is a GREAT way to release the angst. Last pit I got to be in was Slayer! My feet did not touch the ground for like half-hour intervals! If you guys really want to go to a Jinjer concert, after the restrictions are all over, Rocklahoma will be on and Jinjer is supposed to play. Would love to host you guys and check out the show (a three day event, I think).

Jinjer is doing a North American tour. It starts October in a city near you. We already have our Dec tickets for the Dallas tx show at the house of blues. My 2nd time seeing them live. Its a must see

It’s called a circle pit, lex is basically right you just run in a circle. General etiquette of a mosh pit is bumping, shoving, and pushing are all green lit, but if anyone ever goes down, stop the pit to get them up so nobody gets trampled. Bruises no breaks.

From the ashes of my roots a new me will rise to live again.

i love your enthusiasm! your complete green-ness to the genre! nice vibe. Be sure to check out Spiritbox as well (female vocalist). Also more Jinjer is mandatory!

Lex is a total metal head in the making. Love it !

Jinjer have two live shows coming to Florida in Dec. The 1st & 2nd. Youd love it!

They do a brilliant one take video WELL worth a watch

What you asked about is called a Circle Pit. It is a variation on a Mosh Pit. Really enjoyed your reaction. You're right about her being a good performer, she is generally considered by most people to have amazing stage presence. You should check our either Who is Gonna Be the One (Live), or the official video for I Speak Astronomy.
