Jinjer and the Warning are my two favorite bands. Totally different styles, but both getting the most out of three instruments and a lot of different vocal textures. I think there a lot of fans of Jinjer and the Warning. Best bands I've heard in decades.
I think Jinjer is first and foremost a musicians band. Most of the people I know who are really into Jinjer play an instrument. Not saying all Jinjer fans are musicians. I dig how multifaceted they are. As someone who also is into classic jazz and jazz-fusion, Jinjer "feels" really good to me. They have lots of moments where it's both heavy and jazzy....and always grooves. As much as we tend to focus on Vlad and Eugene being a big part of that jazzy feel, Roman is really the one that weaves it all together.... his phrasing with all the minor and dissonant notes really puts the bands sound over the top. You mentioned you want to watch Vortex live. This is a great video of it. Jinjer - Vortex[Live Hellfest 2021] Keep rocking.
I *love* Jinjer for their unorthodox, genre-bending, convention-breaking compositions. Many of their songs - like this one - have no chorus, and many have multiple, highly distinct movements with highly distinct riffs and feels - this song has 7 movements by my reckoning - and very few of their songs have a traditional guitar solo, nor do they need one. I love the dissonant chords, the bizarre yet groovy rhythms, the variations on a riff, the injection of jazz or swing or reggae or rap or classical elements. I love it all. Perhaps the pre-eminent example of "Jinjer jazz" - not a traditional jazz sound, but distinctly incorporating elements of jazz - in a complex, unconventional, multi-movement musical melee is the song "Ape". It's 3 1/2 minutes broken out into 8 highly distinctive movements with incredible transitions. Very heavy, very eclectic. It took me some time to enjoy it, but now it's one of my favourites from them. The official music video is very cool, there's an excellent official live (one-shot live from Mystic Festival), there's a wild bass playthrough (just Eugene sitting on a stool tearing it up), there's an excellent drum playthrough. All fantastic. If you're going to react to just one of these, it has to be the official music video.
My favorite song from the Wallflowers album. Love how low she gets at the end, yeah the part that got a " Oh My Word" out of you. lol. There are a couple live videos of this song, a live 2021, and a live at Wacken 2023. Yes, Jinjer and The Warning have some of the same fans, I love both groups. And since you mentioned Nightwish, they are another of my favorites. Dmitriy Oksen, former rhythm guitarist turned actor, is in the video for another Wallflowers song, "Disclosure" ,which you haven't done yet. Another song that she gets really low is "Home Back", check out the music video for that one, it's about the fighting in their homeland in 2014.
@@RamonRodriguez-wp2wk - I agree, they're in two completely different leagues, I don't know why some people keep putting in the same "bowl". Gojira and Jinjer on tour? That would be awesome! Jinjer and The Warning? I don't think so.
You should react to "Ape" from Jinjer if you like unorthodox and chaotic. I felt at least unsettled the first time I listened to it, it needs a few listens :)
I think that if most bands came up a song like this they would have tore it apart and made 5 songs out of it. One from each section of this song. But Jinjer seems to be able to just say f**k that, we’ll just compose more because we can.

Dmitry Osken was their original founding member and was the second guitarist. There are older Jinjer videos with him on it, both live and official and I think even some guitar playthroughs. He is an actor professionally now and was in their video for the song Disclosure! as a Ukrainian interrogator.
Yeah, they don't need any solos. Heck, they don't even need choruses, like in this song. It's all verses! 😄 Btw, guys, it's disappointed, not dissappointed. 😉
They were also really amazing when they had the other members, different drummer and another guitarist. Check out a couple of their first songs. They were faster, a little more thrash but still amazing.
another Jinjer/The Warning crossover fan here 🖐 and they are 2 of only a literal handful of new-ish bands i can be bothered to listen to extensively. if i had to guess, the "crossover appeal" , i.e., the commonality, would be that both of them have managed to create a fresh interesting sound _without_ reinventing the wheel (that can be a tedious line to walk). or another way to put it: a bit of nostalgia without retreading old ground. and neither band seem to be afraid to show you the giants on whose shoulders they stand, while managing to have their own distinct identities. but that's just _my_ 2¢
I was having a similar thought as you guys. Let's lock Vlad and Pau in a room for a week and see what messed up, but immensely beautiful things come out. TJA and TWA forever.
Jinjer and genre is hard to peg down. The clean and harsh vocals led some to label them Metal Core. Eugene, bass, describes them as Extreme Progressive. They keep moving more into progressive elements with their song structure. Jinjer has been my favorite band for 7 years now with no slow down. Highly suggest my other 4 top 5 bands, all quite different in Iron Maiden, Mastodon, Nemophila and Hanabie.
As much as I really love Pau, she has a long way to go to get to Vlad's level. The guitarist is the epic member of the bunch, 9/10's of their discography is written by him as far as the instrumental go. His play is just not constantly front and center screaming look at me, look at me! Instead, he is filling space and letting the bass become more expressive. Listen to Outlander and hear him go off in the background.
A couple of their older songs when they had the second guitar have solos. Sort of. Maybe more like guitar features but you really don't miss them in their stuff. I'm sure Roman could shred if he wanted to. The reason I like Jinjer is because their stuff is all over the place with many influences. They aren't trapped in a box with a label.
The solo on Beggar's Dance is Roman. And actually when there were two guitarists, Roman was the lead guitarist so the solos were him though often times he and Oksen would play lead together. Yes, he can shred
He is actually way more technically adept than this band's music necessarily calls for. Most of their older guitar centric stuff after he joined the band was written by him.
I would think that Jinjer in at least some small way are influenced by Primus and bands from that era, the members of Jinjer are all around mid 30's in age and definitely would have been of the age group that grew up listening to those bands. Jinjer share a lot of musical approaches with bands like Primus and Mr. Bungle in that you really don't know what you're in for when you put on the record even though they have a "signature" sound
I like alot of female fronted metal bands, Britta Görtz former bands Cripper, Critical Mess, now she's with Hiraes. Iris Goessens with Spoil Engine 2015-2022, The Agonist with Vicky Psarakis, now has a new band Sicksense. The Charm the Fury 2010-2018 they broke up. Blind Ivy, 5rand, Among Your Gods, Kassogtha & Vintersea. Other female fronted metal bands I know Ad Infinitum, Arch Enemy, Butcher Babies, Conquer Divide, Crypta, Ignea, Entheos, Fallcie, Frantic Amber, Nervosa, Stellvris, Stitched Up Heart, Synlakross, Venom Prison, Vexed, Walls of Jericho. Feelament, Max Morton Produces them he is Jinjers producer also & Dmitry Kim formely of Jinjer is their drummer. Bloodhunter the singer Diva Santanica former singer for Nervosa for a short time. The Anchor band from Denver. Otep Tatiana's first time hearing a woman growl.
Jinjer is my favorite & I like these other female front metal bands also Infected Rain - Orphan Soul, Postmortem Pt.1, Black Gold, Enslaved By a Dream, Fighter & Mold. Once Human - Erasure, Sledgehammer, Eye of Chaos, Scar Weaver, Gravity & Dark Matter. Monochromatic Black - Phosphenes ,The Herd, Abaddon, Warmth of the Sun & Closing the Gates.
Guys try Ankor, Future Palace, and my new favorite IKINÄ from Finland--they have two female singer/screamers like Butcher Babies, but they're both waaaay better singers, sorry Babies. Check out their video for Rituaali, it's dark and heavy but it's just the tip of the iceberg!
I am not sure what you mean , this is the studio Official video , we recorded it and uploaded. the audio seems fine on my end , I try to do very little editing , if you can give me a time stamp as to where there might be an issue , I will check it out! Thanks for the feedback.
@@DrakeSpidey Definitely the issue is on my end. I changed the headphones and it sounded normal again. Nothing else I’ve been listening today to sounded strange though but on that Jinjer track issue was very pronounced.
