Jinjer - "Vortex" | ROADIE REACTIONS 

Tatiana gets a lot of the attention, but Vlad and Evegny are just over there quietly being the best rhythm section in modern metal...Every band member is at the top of their game. Total package.

There are reactors who see Jinjer as click bait, but that quote is a BS statement. I can speak for so many people who just love and respect this band as they are something special. I wouldn’t put a Jinjer tattoo on my arm for click bait I did it because they are an amazing band🤘🤘🤘🤘

This is the prettiest her vocals have ever been in my opinion. Pretty is the right word I think.

It was a diss. This isn't the first time I've heard that they've risen in popularity because of the sheer volume of reactors listening. There are those who are unimpressed with Jinjer and believe they are popular only because of the shock entertainment that is gained from reactors. I became a fan because I like their music, but I was introduced to them from a reaction channel. I will also say that because of Jinjer, the metal community has grown a lot. The shock reactions have gotten a,lot of people to explore metal.

I saw this video got up to #33 on trending (maybe higher), which is just huge for an extreme metal band. Jinjer is playing a huge part in bridging the gap between people who’ve always listened to metal and people who have never listened to metal, which is incredible. I’ll be seeing them at their sold out Baltimore show. Also, “reaction video template”? They were never that. They’ve always made the music they genuinely want to make from what I can tell, even before “Pisces” went viral. 🙄

Oh yes, great and extremely tasteful time you will spend with this Jinjer's music video. Such an amazing band. They are growing to be HUGE. Because they came from such an unsheltered environment, their pain and frustration can be put in their fantastic music. Top of the top. Can't wait to see the reaction!

I agree Tank on that discussion of Jinjer being a reaction template, incredibly insulting and disrespectful to the band, they are soooooooo much more than that. Think about everything they did before that Pisces video, which came out in 2017....Inhale, Cloud Factory, pretty much all of King of Everything. All of that is incredibly well done and they just matured from there. There is not one song from them I don't like and I can't say that about any other band I've ever listened to in my 45 years. They also appear to be challenging themselves and evolving at the same time, not just mailing it in....which I don't think they would even be capable of. They've worked so incredibly hard to get to where they are now. For that outlet to say that....terrible. Anyway, another great reaction man....well done!

It doesn't matter why reactors react to Jinjer. The fact is that despite whatever their motivation might be they still help to drive up Jinjer's video analytics, and this in turn helps introduce people to the band who would otherwise never bother to give them a listen. People get curious why a band they've never listened to has a video that is receiving 200k views in 4 hours, so they pause to check it out for themselves.

If having lots of reactions means making more fans of Jinjer's music so these new fans buy their music then I am not going to complain.

Jinjer continues to astound me on multiple levels. Musicianship, songwriting, chemistry, that raw in your face aggression. But their musicianship is the absolute biggest thing that I grab on to. They are so talented. From end to end. I would say Vlad always catches my attention, though. His drumming skills are out of this world, sure. But it isn't just his raw technical skill. It's his creativity, his choice of grooves and fills. Nice choice on the outro, btw. Still listening to that song, because talk about catchy and brutal.

I kind of want a TankTheTech bobblehead nodding along to Jinjer in my dashboard, smiling like it's the first time he's hearing it, js.

Got my meet & greet ticket for Nashville the day they went on sale. See ya there 🤘🏻

Hard to even call this a single, because it's so proggy and so heavy and so not radio friendly. This is musically on another level from what they were doing before. You can pick any moment in this song and pinpoint on any one band member and they're absolutely slaying.

I was introduced to Jinjer from watching a video about unique voices and as soon as I heard a woman do metal growls I was blown away and had to find out more about her. And that led me to reaction videos. From there I fell in love with every single song and the instrumentals of each band member is truly impeccable.

They've gotten so Proggy, I'm LOVIN' it!

Jinjer were already awesome in 2018 when I saw them on tour here in Germany as support for Arch Enemy - together with Wintersun and Tribulation!

My first growl goosebumps! That last growl 🤯

The Netflix show Orange is the New Black is responsible for me discovering Jinjer. About 3 years ago I learned that the actress Jessica Pimentel who plays Maria Ruiz was the frontwoman of a metal band called Alekhine's Gun so I decided to check them out of Spotify. Because I listened to them, it recommended The Butcher Babies, who were ok, but further recommendations led to Venom Prison and through them I was led to Jinjer. Now both Jinjer and Venom Prison are 2 of my favourite bands. You should also react to Venom Prison btw 😁

I'm sure you loved it, ESPECIALLY Eugene's bass work! I know I did. My best friend from childhood just bought me VIP Meet and Greet tickets to their show in Milwaukee on November 11th for my Birthday, and I'm absolutely chomping at the bit to see them live!

WOW! ... needed a few more bars of that ending!

They are flexing their talent in this one. There are a handful of bands that have that elite level talent …. Nightwish, Bandmaid, Nemophilia (get on board now, they are about to blow up) , Orbit Culture , Unleash The Archers …and these guys. All these bands know how to write killer songs and get the most out of their talent. They are in different genres but they are on top of their respective categories for good reason. Yeah I will be preordering the new Jinger album for sure. 🤟🏻

Keep on with the Jinjer reactions that 👍👍

They're so much more than just a reaction band, but one cannot deny that reactions, or specifically Pisces going viral on reaction channels, being the thing that gave them that much needed, but also much deserved exposure. I would not have known them without this fact, even though I did not even watched reaction channels before that, and usually do it still mostly only for Jinjer, but now I am listening to this band every week, if not even daily. Their complex musicianship really helped me training my brain and get a better understanding of music, and their songs are usually good spirited or carry important messages, which really helps my mental state a lot, while the instrumental and vocal representation is also really motivating for me (and of course Tatiana's insane stage presence, if watching the videos). As far as this song goes, I did not even dive into the lyrics yet. Release day it did not click with me, because I was so tired, and the song is so proggy that I could not properly follow along. Today it sounds like a completely different song to me, and I like it a lot. That is also one of the nastiest death growls I have ever heard, coming from our little Tati no less. They said it's one of their heaviest albums, probably not just instrumentally or vocally, but also lyrically. And I absolutely agree with you, this seems to be very matured in a lot of ways. I love their older stuff too, but they came a really long way since playing in socks and with dreads in that little recording booth. I'm beyond excited at this point.

Jinjer is the GOAT when it comes to female leads.

To quote Harry from Songs and Thongs, "Jinjer have perfected music!" I think that's how most of us feel about this song. I was so annoyed that I discovered Jinjer at the time they were in the middle of playing in Australia and the shows were all sold out. Now with the current climate I can't see a time in the near future that we will get to see them in Aus again. Until then, I'll have to settle for your awesome reactions, thanks Tank.

I´m agree 100%.This Band is so fucking awesome. Cant wait to see them live.

This band man! 🙌🏻 The buildup in this song is phenomenal, the soft chill beginning to the pure eternal hellfire ending. Oh the ending, chugs and bends for days! 🔥🤘🏻🤤

Hell yea! The album is dropping on my birthday! I know what my gift to myself will be!!! 🤟🤟🤟

I came for the Jinjer reaction but I stayed for the Evanescence CD cover in the back lol. Awesome video.

I adore the groove from 1503! Rolling grind. Excellent!

October 25th Portland, Oregon Meet and greet tickets for me!!! The original show of the 24th sold out and was in high demand so Jinjer added a second night! I’m so stoked!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

See you in Denver Jinjer!!! Love the reaction!!!

I bought tickets to the upcoming Nashville show about a month, still waiting for the email with the tickets attached. Hopefully I get it soon. Can't wait to see them live for the first time!!! LET'S GO!!!

Thanks my friend for your reaction on this... I appreciate your comments...and about media words...they just talk sht.. Jinjer its a awesome band and in my opinion they are to good for media opinion 💪🤘🤘🤘❤️

Going to see Jinjer in November!!! Can’t wait! Great Reaction, as usual!!!!

I will most likely catch Jinjer here in Vancouver too In October :-)

My very first song I hear of Jinjer was "Sit Stay Role Over". And I really didn't know it was a woman that was the lead singer. Her Voice is like so good. She can go from a growl to a scream and back to normal singing so smoothly. It's so satisfying listening to her. Tatiana and Courtney of Spiritbox. Can sing me to sleep any day 🙃😂

Jinjer is playing Nashville on my birthday? Well, I know what to ask for now. Maybe I will see you there.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who tried and are trying to milk the Pisces video for views, but that's not any reason to dismiss Jinjer as a "reaction video template." That's just lazy thinking right there and a real good way to miss out on an amazing group of musicians.

Here we go! First time watching Vortex for me too. Te waiting has been worthy

Hell yes! I get to see them November 2 here in Denver!!!🤘🤘

Seeing them the night before Thanksgiving in Philly. Can't wait!

I’m in Nashville too. I ordered my tickets to see them at the Brooklyn Bowl on December 4th. Super stoked!!

I have tickets to the San Antonio Tx show in early dec. Excited is an extreme understatement 🤘🏻

That groove in the middle section though!

Great reaction both informative and entertaining!

Probably the first Jinjer song I got to before Tank did. Jinjer did not disappoint.

I have that song on repeat now. Proggy and brutal at the same time

Didn't think they could get better but they did...

Man I don't know what to say but I'm pretty speechless now cos I love Jinjer so much

My wife and I, saw Jinjer at The Soma in October of last year, they were absolutely amazing. The musicianship is off the charts, all very talented individuals. Can't wait until we can see them again, been listening to them since the beginning.

Oh man, those false vocals really hit differently. love it. to death. really wants to make me learn how to do that myself. On another note, Saltatio mortis dropped a new song that you might like. :)

Pre-ordering next week.

My brother and I are taking our first Bro Road Trip to see Jinjer on Dallas on 12-9-21. Please do a review of the show and give us the set list. He has only heard a little of ther stuff. The last CD I needed to complete my Jinjer collection is arriving tomorrow. We will be listening to Jinjer the whole way there. I want to play the set list in order for him and break the songs down for him to get him prepped. He needs to know when to yell "I am a bad example of order!", "Teacher Teacher, leave us alone!", & more. I hope we can make a wall of death at the end too like in their video. "Audience Participation"! ✌🏻😎 I will be preordering Wallflowers!

Love that they got a videobudget now!! But hey, bass & drums....animals!!

It's Jinjer time and I will always be here for that. I've been busy checking All my favorite channels and you are one of those. Peace from Stan the Alaskan.

Fun Fact - Vlad wrote all but 2 songs on this album with Roman writing one and Eugene writing one!!!

Reaction videos are just what brought this band to the masses who don't listen to much metal music and to the older generation of metal fans who haven't liked a lot of the newer scream/growl metal. I as an older metalhead(51) was slow to adopt the scream/growl metal, but groups like Killswitch Engage, Shadowsfall, All that Remains, In Flames and pure growl bands like Arch Enemy and Amon Amarth awakened a new passion for me. Now bands like Jinjer and others too numerous to list have hooked all over again.

Sounds like you found a Media Outlet Template. Love the video. .... and Roman has convinced me that the Metal Guitar I've been planning to purchase must now be an OD. I want those clear/clank chord voicings, and many guitars/pickups have too much high-end rolloff to get there (I've been using Sentients for this) ... I'll have to look into hish pickup maker... always like finding new stuff. Eugene is simply the Best at what he does... he and Vlad are to 20x0's answer to 4/4. It is so intricate and full of force at the same time. Tati is... well, she is special. Nothing more to say other than, I hope she continues to share her incredible talents with us for a few more decades. Signed up for the PDX show already... small venue, cannot WAIT to be there. I'm gonna learn some phrases in Ukrainian, just to get in the mood for that show. ... but it'll mess up my Finnish lessons, lol, tough to decide. \m/

I think the media is trying to say exactly that and I touch on it in my reaction without knowing a media outlet said that. I mentioned how I think reaction videos helped push them to popularity, but I do not think that is the defining reason they got popular. If not for their crazy talent, they would not be where they are today.

Like every time great reaction and i cant wait to have the new album in my hands and my ears 😍😍😍👌🤘🤘🤘🤘

They preformed for Hell Fest today....its fucking awesome! Look for Jinjer hellfest.

To a fellow, Roadie...great reaction to JinJer. I agree with all you have said...I just subbed. I was a Roadie for about 55 years, mostly Lighting, some Sound and in my older years, Stage Manager. Great channel, kudos...

Jinjer are so great. They remind me of Opeth without copying them at all.... fantastic musicians! Also, the way Tatjana changes her vocals together with the band... simply amazing!

Hell yeah man. I git my tickets for Grand Rapids the day they went on sale. Its gonna be an epic show

The video and song is what music as all about. It is a feast for the senses and you appreciate it all. Savoring every detail. Jinjer is the true definition of music and it makes happy to listen to them.

I've had tickets for the show in Minneapolis since January last year. Hopefully I'll be ready for crowds by then.

Can I brag that I saw them in February 2020 and I'm seeing them again in July 2021? ;)

They'll be in Toronto Nov 18 but I'm wondering if things will be fully open here by then. We are still in a staggered type lockdown. So have fun whoever gets to see them this year 😭

Once again, thanks for the help with making me realize the tour is happening. Got my ticket for November and it can't come soon enough. Live music returning is such a great thing.

honest to say that i discovered this band by reaction video's however, they make a certain art which makes this band stand out..i(will surely visit their concert next year when they come to my country).nice reaction i like the details :)

Bought my ticket for the show in Philly in November like 2 months ago.

Just got my tickets. First time they've been to the states since I've discovered them. Leeetttssss goooooo!!!!

Got my reminder set.

They probably mean specifically the thousands of Pisces reactions. It’s one of those songs that are just infamous for reactions same as I would say Demolisher, Hypa Hypa, and To The Hellfire

Just saw them Tuesday. They are as stellar live as they are in the videos. Fantastic show.

Another great reaction Tank. I agree with most of what you said. Just a solid band. I saw them at the end of a tour pre-Covid. Now I can see them early🤞🏻🤞🏻. Enjoy them when you do, I have seen quite a few live acts and they are definitely the top of the list!

Design your Universe (live Retrospect) / Unleashed (live Retrospect ), Cry for the Moon(live Retrospect) - Epica The Scarecrow (The flying Opera live) - Avantasia Burning Time (live) / Dante's Inferno (live) - Iced Earth Rebel in the F.G.D. or The great Missconceptions of Me - W.A.S.P

This will blow your mind.

Going December 11th! So I'll be catching them after ya! I agree with your take at the end! Much love!

Yessir I’ll be at the Nashville show. Can’t wait, it’s gonna be awesome 🤘🤘

I'm seeing them 4 days after you seeing them. Ordered a meet and greet in Dallas. Honestly when I first heard this song I thought it was good. But the more I listened to it the more I loved it more. So well done for a single. Can't wait to hear more.

Tank, in one way I understand that comment about "reaction video band". I've been a fan of Jinjer since about 2010 and always played them for friends and when I've had the opportunity. Sadly it took the "reaction scene" to give them that push they've should have had years earlier. Jinjer has been grinding Europe for years and never got the attention they deserved and with the "reaction boom" in 2018-2019 they finally got it. But yeah I hear you and I agree with you for sure but sadly there are some truth to that statement tho I think they showed their qualities as great musicians way before they got traction on the RU-vid reaction scene. Good review as usual!

I am so pumped that I see a q101 sticker in the background

The thing i love about Jinjer is that they come at you from a different angle every single time.

My going on 61 yr old father can't stand metal music... but everytime I send him a link to a Jinjer video or song, he always says "I don't like it, but God damn they are good" (skilled/talented).

That was bloody awesome thank you

Excellent reaction Tank. I saw Jinjer live here in Australia back in March last year - one of the greatest evenings of my life ! Now, off to check out the mech.......

I love your passion for music!

this is gonna be nice

Vlad added some new stuff to his set. 1 ten inch snare, big bass drum as a tom and 2 cymbals. If i'm not mistaken.

I wouldn't know of Jinjer without RU-vid reactors

Born and raised in Nashville. Maybe I'll see you there. Lol 🤘

i received my tickets for fathers day! i'll be there.

Reaction videos such as your’s and Chase’s have introduced me to bands i might never have seen at all. Jinjer is one of them. Keep it up, dude. Love your reactions. 👍

On second viewing I'm pretty sure it is the baritone. The baritone has the green Jinger symbol onto he pickups and the standard doesn't have the Jinger symball on the pickups.

It's another great song and man are their influences peeking through on this one. Incubus style flows and hints of early No Doubt vocals and I SWEAR when the JinjerMechwarrior comes out that riff is a nod to Down's Bury Me In Smoke!

Great reaction, LOVE your content. Much respect Metal brother 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Finally got to it today. Loving this direction they are going in with this song. Very melodic, but those breakdowns though!

Nice you put the new Lorna Shore very low volume in the background while talking about this release :)
