Metal Vocalist First Time Reaction - JINJER - Pisces (Live Session) 

Wait until you hear her low growls, they get BRUTAL. Everyone is going to say Perennial, and that is a good song, but if you really want to check out how low she can go check out "Pit of Consciousness" live in Kiev. And no, Tatiana has NO formal training. Just lots of practice and an insane amount of natural talent. (edit: for a really awesome belted section try "Captain Clock" from Resurrection Fest '19)

You: "Can't wait to hear her open up...." Me: "Giggle, Giggle"

Her voice remains the same volume, highs and lows harsh vocals... she is unreal live in concert.... never had a vocal class in her life

Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev will wreck your brain. Honestly it's an 11 of 10 performance from every member of the band.

She sounds even better in concert

You're going crazy with the bass JINJER - Who Is Gonna Be The One (Live)

I am actually baffled at how you haven't even heard of Jinjer before!?!? But hey, better late than never lol. They are insanely talented, and seeing them live should be added to ur concert bucket list immediately. Theyre also Ukrainian, specifically from the eastern part that was annexed by Russia back in 2014. Most of the band was in Kiev when the war broke out more recently, but luckily managed to stay safe and go on tour with proceeds donated to relief efforts back home. Tatiana is actually self taught. She's said that she would skip class in college and basically just go scream in an empty field until she figured out how to do it without blowing out her voice lol. Next songs to check out: Teacher, Teacher I Speak Astronomy Vortex Home Back

Great reaction! I love to watch new people checking out Jinjer for the first time... it never gets old! Up next should be Jinjer Perennieal (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019.) You'll get to see her live vocals, and becoming a even bigger fan!

Wonderful reaction! Jinjer and Tatiana are on a completely different level. She is surprisingly not trained. Famously waits until the last minute to write her lyrics and until somewhat recently do any warm up or do vocal exercises. Her choices in pronunciation, cadence and other vocal technique is very tasteful in her cleans and the depths of her harsh vocals out growl most men. In a similar fashion, the boys display world class skill and together the four of them create complex, technical, and balanced songs. Be sure to check out "Perennial" live in Wacken, "Judgement and Punishment" one take, and "I Speak Astronomy". Hope to see more soon.

👍JINJER scares me in a good way😉. 🖖❤

Amazed that you've never heard of these guys. Eugene, Roman and Vlad are top notch musicians, and Queen Tati? Yeah, she's phenomenal. This is pretty mellow in terms of their catalogue. If you want to hear them heavy (and live) I'd HIGHLY recommend Sit Stay Rollover in Melbourne. That goes hard from start to end.

Best female growler imo. Half of people reacting to this song and artist get super excited and the other half poops their pants. lol.

Welcome to Jinjer. Tatiana is a vocal goddess and the band are all top tier musicians. They shine in their live performances. Tatiana write the lyrics and she not formally trained as a singer. I highly recommend "Perennial" live at Wacken for a follow up reaction. Great analysis. (Subbed)

Check out “Perennial” live at Wacken. Also she is self taught in both sides of her voice with the exception of a few lessons as a child. You can look that up anywhere. Tatiana and the band are from Ukrian. You can also check out “Pit of Consciousness” live in Kiev for a well composed song that highlights her lows.

Jinjer broke all the molds. lol This is starter Jinjer, John. You are in for quite a treat moving forward. You've happened across a once in a lifetime band. Buckle up.

Tatiana Shmayluk has been my favorite female lead singer for years now (I'm obsessed). Have seen them 3 times and always a great concert (make sure you got your pit clothes on). If you want to get thrown right into the fire, listen to "On the Top and Pit of Consciousness" live at Kiev. Pit of Consciousness is one of their most aggressive songs. Way too many songs to list. Great reaction.

Tati does the lyrics, she is self-trained. The players are such huge talents. I got to see them Aug 12, 2023 in Syracuse, NY...my fav band of all time now.

A good live to start with is Perennial live from Wacken.

Had a feeling you would like Jinjer! Tatiana is a great singer full of surprises and the band are really good musicians too. Her voice is out of this world. They are from the Ukraine and between Covid and the war in their country they were not touring for awhile. Now they are touring as ambassadors for the Ukraine. Loved your reaction, your comments are so informative. Thanks John

Bro, you're going to love Jinjer. TBH, this is Jinjer on about 2 or 3. The knob just goes up to 11 from here.

Great reaction! Welcome to the wonderful world of Jinjer. Tatiana is a vocal Goddess! The next song you should check out by Jinjer is Perennial live at Wacken. Followed by Teacher Teacher official video. Next Who’s gonna be one live performance. Also Vortex Judgement and Punishment one take vocal performance. Then you can’t go wrong with any other Jinjer songs. Home Back, Call me a symbol , Wallflower and the list goes on!

I think you would really enjoy "Pit of Consciousness", live in Kiev, as well as "Who is Gonna Be the One?" Their songs are diverse in structure, and they are all good.

John ! I can't believe you only just heard Jinjer ! I have never been a fan of screaming until I heard Tatiana she opened my ears to other groups who have a screaming vocalist too. But like you said it's not just the vocals the whole song is a masterpiece.

Props for you not being totally shocked by Tatiana's vocals and being able to use "djent" properly. Jinjer is a hell of a ride, insanely talented musicians and an obviously just as insanely talented vocalist. They're a band that is definitely worth a deep dive on your part, as I have a feeling that they're right in your wheelhouse.

Tatiana is self trained. There is a long and interesting interview with her by Elizabeth Zharoff (The Charismatic Voice) that provides a lot of background information. Believe it or not, she is an introvert, though you would never know from seeing a live concert. In concert, you see her low growls more, and usually in concert she does not shift from growl to belt to growl at the end of Pisces. I first heard this only a week ago and I have become transfixed by this music- it is up there with Magma (another astonishing group you likely know nothing about) as a fave. The musicians are incredible and this was to introduce Vlad on drums. SO much going on- ghost notes, double tapping, chordal delays, some post production work done here and some pitch correction, but in the end this is one of the most incredible pieces of music I have ever seen.

Relax people. 😂 John lives in the USA. The Music Mafia is contantly smothering the poplace in musical pablum daily. Missing out on loads of music that everyone else knows is perfectly understandable.🙄 Tatiana is from Ukraine and is know as the Queen of Growls just like Alex the Terrible from Slaughter to Prevail is the Growl King. Tatiana has a beautiful voice and utilizes a goodly number of amazing vocal techniques despite being mostly self-taught. She is also exceptional live. 🥰🥰Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦

I love Queen TaTi.

Welcome to Jinjer!

Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well. My favorite performance is Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv.

Watch "Judgment and Punishment" and "Vortex" then any of their live performances, which tend to be in big venues with the sound not quite so clear. She is phenomenal. The growl or scream is self-taught for her but she may have had some vocal training. The Charismatic Voice reactor does about a 20-minute interview with Tatiana that is fun.

They are overdue for a new album. In the meantime, as far as live performances, most will tell you "Perennial Live at Wacken" or "Pit of Consciousness Live in Kiev" which are both great, but for a deeper cut check out "Cloud Factory Official Live" and "Who is Gonna Be the One Official Live". Anything with "Official Live" in the title has been remixed by Napalm and sounds great.

Judgment and punishment one take is her best !

Jinjer is freaking amazing. Now react to Judgement (& Punishment) One Take Vocal Performance to see even more how good she is

All Jinjer songs are incredible, the band is tight. Tatiana is S-tier talent no doubt.

“Pit of Consciousness “ live in Kiev will answer all your curiosity about live and screams. I first listened to it while walking the dog at night and thought I encountered a mountain lion… plus you will hear even more how tight the band is.

Oh man if you're just discovering Jinjer now, buckle up pal it's going to be a fun ride

I saw Jinjer this past July when they headlined at a small beer garden venue on an off day from their touring with Disturbed. Instead of a 6 song set they were doing as a support band, they did a 14 song set at this show. It was the best show I saw last year. Tatiana can go much lower with her harsh vocals than she did in this video. When they performed the song Vortex, she got so low that it was actually a rumble that I felt in my gut. She can be so ferocious in her harsh singing but her cleans are gorgeous. As you saw in the video, she can also belt with the best of them. Between songs, she is so damn charming. Hands down, Tatiana is the best female metal singer today and a case can be made that she is the best metal singer period.

Jinjer is a great band from the Ukraine, they are: Tatiana on Vocals, Eugene is the Bassist, Roman on Guitar, Vlad is the Drummer. Tracks which I recommend from them are: "Perennial" live at Wacken Open Air Festival from 2019, "Teacher Teacher" the official music video, "Judgement (and Punishment)" Tatiana's One-Take Vocal version, "On the Top" and "Pit of Consciousness" both live in Kiev, "Vortex" the official music video, "Who is Going to Be The One" official live music video, "Just Another" official live music video, "Home Back" the official music video. There are other tracks but these are good ones to continue with.

Tatiana is is a world-class growler. If want to hear the extent of Tati's growls listen to Jinjer's live performance of "Pit of Consciousness" done live in Kiev. Tati shows off growls only heard in the depths of hell.

Subbed for the anticipation of you doing more Jinjer. Old metal head ( 50+ years) here and this is already one of my all time favorite bands!!!

Jinjer is the GOAT! Tatiana is an incredible vocalist. The band is second to none. All true masters of their trade. Perennial live at Wacken next. Judgement & Punishment one take vocal after! Vortex, Teacher Teacher, Disclosure, Call Me A Symbol. Two of their most aggressive tracks are Mediator and Sit Stay Rollover. Welcome to the Jinjer family!❤

Jinjer is ridiculous. All 4 of them are phenomenal. Some of my fav live performances are Who Is Gonna Be The One, Cloud Factory (live, not OMV), Pit of Consciousness, Perennial, of course. Early Jinjer I recommend Sit, Stay, Roll Over. Recent Jinjer I love Vortex (OMV, cause the video is badass). Teacher Teacher OMV kicks ass too, it’s the studio recording played over clips from their concerts. Hope you’ll do reactions to all these. Welcome to the rabbit hole!!! Cheers!

if you do Jinjer, Who is Gonna Be the one , Live, you'll get her full growel range.

She is totally self taught. Check out Perennial live at Wacken next!

My favorite is teacher teacher but vortex has the low screams

This is baby steps when it comes to Jinjer! Prepare yourself, I loved this song when I heard it, I fucking ADORE everything I've heard since. Top band in the game atm, IMO.

Haha the good thing about just finding them is that you have so much to look forward to and react to. This band is so tight.

Tatiana is among the very best metal vocalists right now. Her growls are thick, she can switch between cleans and growls mid-sentence, she can color her voice in tons of different ways in both cleans and growls, her diction is really good also on growls and she has nice set of clean singing styles like reggae, jazz etc. Very versatile and all rounded vocalist.

Tatiana is utterly awesome. There are some excellent live performances here on RU-vid xxx

HAHAHAHAHA welcomeee to Jinjer hole, you gonna love It!

"Who is gonna be the one" live is one of my favourites from them.

Welcome to Jinjer! I hope you continue with this amazing band! They have a very deep catalog of awesome songs for you to discover!

Leave it to John to catch that 3rd flip, when Tati goes into full belt. So many reactors miss that 3rd voice. But it's the one that shows how truly remarkable Tatiana and Jinjer are.

Welcome to your New favorite band!

JinJer Teacher Teacher official video 😁 enjoy 😎

She has said she has never had professional training and she learned from screaming into traffic and her pillow. 🤘 Watch other vids of Jinjer and you'll see just how growly she can get

Hang on you are going to get blown away ..pick any song they are all great .. literally!!!!

Welcome to the Jinjer family. If you want lower screams, Pit of Consciousness Live In Kiev. Jinjer is a deep rabbit hole. Take the plunge! Cheers.

This song was live session and apparently with intention to showcase their new drummer here.

couple of years ago I noticed Jinjer on several line-ups for different concerts/festivals, but I never got to see them, I didn't even check out their music, until late 2023, and I was blown away! Easy one of my favourite bands today.

My favorite band. Have all their music.

reactions on Pisces never get bored

Love this song, and its not just the vocals. I like the lyrics, the guitar, bass, drums too.

That entire album is fantastic

Great reaction! I love Jinjer. Eugene, Roman and Vlad are next level musicians and Tatiana is one of the top vocalists in Metal. I got to see them live in Atlanta in December 2022, what a killer show! You do need to check them out live, watch "Perennial" live at Wacken and “Pit of Consciousness” live in Kiev to really see what she can do!

Love seeing people I know as (Band-Maid fans) getting into Jinjer. Polar opposites but dang it works.

The belt she lets out right before the last growling section gives me chills. Follow up edit- oh good. You agree. lol.

Best reaction yet!!! I was too, Like, this is 6 years ago! How have I not heard this before lol! I love her lyrics, as A Pisces. I can totally relate♓️

Tatiana is self trained. Check out Perennial, there's a good live version from a festival out there that shows her talents

If you'd dive deeper you'll find a lot of brilliant stuff. First of all the band is 14+ yo. Jinjer recorded few albums before this song. But they are from the East of Ukraine so they had long and tough way to the recognition. By the way if you'd sort Napalm videos by views you'll see that this video is the number 1 with 81M views (the 2nd one has 51M currently). The band is great live. Most of their songs have better live recordings than studio versions. But not Pisces (for some reasons they don't have perfect concert version of this song). There're lots of official videos of their performances and even more phone videos from the crowd. You can easily check it out and could be sure that this band is a real deal. Tatiana (the singer) can go much lower (Pit of Consciousness, Who's Gonna Be The One, Vortex, Home Back etc) but she use high screams as well (Who's Gonna Be The One, Judgment and Punishment (one take vocal performance is the best choice), Sit Stay Rollover etc). And yeah, she has great clean singing. Many people compare her cleans with Gwen Stefani and sometimes even with Brittney Spears but I'd say she has her own distinct, recognizable voice. Her natural voice is a bit low for a girl so she can go realy low with her clean singing too but she can belt as well as you can see.

Dude, VORTEX. When she takes you down to the depths and you hear the vortex trash monster roar "SWIRL" you will be shook!

Dude seen them live several times! Tatiana's voice is legit live! Need to see them in concert! Keep Rocking amigo!!!✌🏻🤟🏼👍🏼

Vortex!

Pit of Conciousness live in Kiev shows how dynamic her screams are

Welcome to the jinjer rabbithole hope you dive in all the way you will not regret !

I’ve seen them twice she gets that low one of best bands I’ve seen live

If you want to hear how she sounds in a concert setting, you want to watch "Perennial live at Wacken" next

This is a live session... try Perennial live at Wacken 2019... blow your mind 🤘🤘

i couldnt believe after all the band maid videos you did i would see you doing this. YES!! teacher teacher.... next best of her

Okay, soooooo, I need to check out more of their stuff.

They are wonderful live. Tati never stops.

You can check out "perinatal" live at Waken for a live stage performance

bro, i seen them live very recently, they are amazing and i will never miss a live show for as long as i live, i swear to god:)

she is awesome. i also love mellisa bonny screams.

Tatiana is 100 times better in concert, I fell in love with her when I saw Jinjer open for Disturbed last year (which was my intro to the band). Also, I've seen her say in multiple interviews that she doesn't have any formal training and is almost entirely self-taught... even spending months alone in her apartment learning to scream like that when she decided that needed to be part of her skill set.

It's the classic "where have you been all my life" lol. Don't feel bad bro, I've been playing in metal bands for 45 years, and I just discovered Jinjer a little over a year ago. Like a lot of people, I was like "How have I not been listening to this for years!" Like the girl of my dreams had been working at the desk next to me for years and I hadn't even noticed her. Like, this band has everything I like, and some stuff I didn't even know I liked! It was love at first listen for me. After two songs I was searching the internet for upcoming live shows. Imagine my delight when I learned they were playing in my region not two weeks later. General admission at a small venue, tickets still available cheap. Four hour drive, but screw it! Witnessing Jinjer live sealed the deal like a mofo bro. I've seen a lot of shows. Hell, I've played a lot of shows. I saw Rush 36 times. I thought I'd never see another band approach that level of professionalism, passion, attention to detail, musicianship and sheer hugeness of sound. Jinjer proved me wrong. Every member of the band is top tier on their instrument, and I include Tatiana because her voice is an instrument. Like a freaking Stradivarius. She's one of a kind. In my mind only Tatiana has the beauty and variety of cleans, the variety and articulation of harsh vocals, the overall emotional expressiveness, the poetic lyrical ability, and the superhero stage presence, all in one person. And I could watch each member of Jinjer by themselves all day. Each one is a monster. Check out their playthrough videos. None of them do solos, although they all could easily. Now that I think about it, there's hardly a moment in their music when they're not all playing together. And yet the variety is awesome. Multiple genres and styles, dynamic variation from heavy to soft in almost every song, time signatures and tempo all over the place. But all under complete control. These guys repay you for your time and attention. The more you learn, the more you love. Enjoy! Thanks for the excellent reaction. Liked and subbed. Welcome to the Jinjer Army! Slava Ukraine! Slava Jinjer!

Amazing band, strongly recommend Perennial live at wacken.

You really want to hear her lows watch Pit of Consciousness (Live in Kiev)

It is my love!!!

Down the rabbit hole you gooooooooooooooo....

Pit of consciousness live in kiev and captain clock live at resurection fest

everyone in the band is self-taught at their respective crafts. (well, Vlad is a classically-trained pianist ; but taught himself drums by watching youtube) for the Live experience, check Perennial live at wacken 2019 , and/or Pit of Consciousness live in Keiv. for her absolute bottom end, either Vortex (which also has my favorite drum fills), or Home Back. For versatility, Teacher Teacher is usually a go-to.

I fully agree with @BTAColorado, "Pit of Consciousness live in Kiev" perfectly showcase her low low low growl

Hey dude from Aus I saw them here in Melbourne just before the lockdowns. Tati is a freak live and a performance animal on stage! She taught herself to growl by screaming at cars on the highway! When she sang Pisces the only thing that was missing was the high belt She growled that whole section! One of the best shows I've ever seen! Check out one of their recent releases like Vortex. Cool reaction man. Jon from Aus

There is a little bit of treatment to the voice, yeah. I mean, the song was recorded live (and we're seeing one of the takes in the video), but sure the voice was dubbed (lower or higher, I couldn't tell). And I think some of it was pitch corrected. At some points, you can hear it, but it was really well done and not on the parts where not being pitch perfect adds to the expression. Very good job regarding the performance AND the post-production. Perfect.

You might as well go deeper down the rabbit hole... maybe check out Teacher Teacher official video, " Perennial " live at Wacken, " Who is gonna be the one " official video at a minumum. And yes they are just as solid if not more so live. Their musical abilities and creativeness is for a fact off the charts.

You gotta listen to "on the top" You'll find the lows you're looking for

saw them live a few months ago, fucking better than on video ;)

The Enigmatic Voice channel has some good breakdowns of her vocal technique. Well worth a visit.

You should check out Perennial Live at Wacken Festival for one of their best live performances. Also just a bit of history, the band formed in 2008 but the lead singer Tatiana didnt join till 2009. None of the original members are left and she is now the longest running member. the guitarist Roman joined in 2010 and bassist Eugine joined shortly after in 2011. The drummer Vlad joined in 2016 after the old drummer had an accident in 2014 which left him unable to play. They also were a 5 piece band early on with 2 guitarists, but the other giutarist Dmitriy left the band in 2015 and they remaned a 4 piece since then. They are also from Donetsk in eastern Ukraine so had early first hand experience of the russian invasion since the annexation of Chrimea and the war going on now has been going since then. They have a song called Home Back from 2018 that talks about their experience of the war. Ive been a fan since 2014 and saw them live for the first time last year and they are way better live than in any recorded material. Just a shame they dont play many of their early songs any more. The oldest song i heard them play was Pisces but there is 1 album and a 7 track ep from before that which they dont play anything live from at the moment
