Musicians react to hearing JINJER for the first time! 

LOL that was Queen TaTi!!

Jinjer use spot backing vocals even during some live shows - if you watch Perennial live at Wacken, they have a pre-recorded introductory spoken part too. But it's all Tatiana and the growl is 100% real. She can switch in and out as fast as you like, she can do things I've never heard before. Some of her really low notes are frightening. Drummer is Vlad, classically trained pianist who had a side gig as a guitarist. His band couldn't find a good drummer... so he taught himself drums and is now considered one of the most significant new drummers in metal.

Their live stuff is awesome, and it shows her growls are real hahaha Perennial - live at wacken Teacher teacher - OMV Homeback - OMV (jazzy stuff) Vortex - OMV (Just awesome musicianship) Pit of counciousness - Live in Kiev (insanely good growls) Mediator - OMV (for an instantaneous punch to the head 😂) Judgement & punishment - 1 take vocal performance

Check them out live if you really want to be even more pleasantly surprised. She is the total package on stage; explosive voice, moves around a lot and gets the audience amped. "Who Will Be the One" you catch a moment of feedback from the stage sound system clearly showing that it's actually her incredible live voice you are hearing.

Jinger is a mind blow. She has an Angels voice and on command she has a Devils voice. She is 100% able too do this live. No pedals no backing tracks just Bad Ass!.

JEFF was HERE 👇 congratulations 🎉

After you check out a live song (which you should to confirm Tatiana’s vocal talent), also watch the MV for “I Speak Astronomy”. Different drummer, but a progressive aural and visual masterpiece.

I've seen them live, absolutely kill it, and Tati was a beast. the band is as technical as technical gets, and Tati has those smooth jazzy cleans and a harsh death growl from the depths, she pulls it off live with no problem. amazing band.

Yeah, this has multiple vocal layers and post prod going on, its more or less a re-recording of an older song in studio originally meant to showcase a new drummer. Pisces is kind of a song that the band has never fully been happy with, and infact, the entire ending of the song was different until last minute the first time around that it was recorded in studio. The band has often stated that they are disappointed that this was the video and song that "broke them" to a wider audience and feel that "I Speak Astronomy" is a better representation of the band they were versus the band that they have become. As you might have guessed, Pisces originated from a bass line. Tatiana and Eugene also both contributed lyrics to this, as they are both Pisces and have had a long (and not always happy) relationship with each other, going back before either person joining this band. None of the current members are original to the band.

Tatiana wins EVERY argument she gets in

It never get's old. Great reaction. When they did this they got to this studio early so Tatiana layed down those higher parts on the second-"scale armor....blaze....virgin innocence..... one being brings life.... the other runs for death....." and it's keyed on blaze, innocence, brings life, and runs for death. When she goes high on-"searching for a hook to catch on and see they're sunbeams" is the only time she does go high save when the song was originally recorded. Live she just does it in growl mode as she's afraid she'll mess it up live. Usually the next one to react to is-Who is gonna be the one live as it's around the same time as this. You can do all their songs over time. They all kick ass. Down the rabbit hole we go.

Guys, there are four musicians in the room. Tatiana's voice is her instrument (and she can play other stuff).

Welcome to Jinjer. That is all Tatiana. To appreciate how good this band is, I recommend reacting to their live performances. "Who is Gonna be the One" (Live, Napalm Records) is a great showcase of not only Tatiana's strength as a frontwoman but the musicianship of the whole band. Good reaction. (Subbed)

Perennial, live at Wacken is the usual next step. There you can see that she indeed has deep and thick growls in her without studio magic.

I think " Home Back " is their most important Song. Considering the War in Ukraine this one still breaks my Heart. Tatiana and Yukina ( Hanabie ) are my favorites for harsh Vocals. Perennial live from Wacken shows everything you need to know.

JINJER, my favorite band of all time and I am 76 years old. The best players and certainly, the best singer, Tatiana...

Jinjer - Perennial - Live at Wacken You're in for a treat.

Welcome to your new favourite band, they just get better from here

Tatiana is the singer and songwriter of the band. She once said she started screaming at 11yrs. She can switch vocal styles on a blink. Eugene is bassist and one of the best in the business. Vlad is the drummer and the only one with music education, he is trained pianist. Roman plays the guitar and is the silent type, doesn't play himself forward, just keeps all nicely together. All remarkable musicians in their own right, but as Jinjer they play together as one.

Jinjer - Who's Gonna Be The One live, Napalm Records 🔥👏🏻

You guys gotta check out "who is gonna be the one" live ,, Tatiana in full on beast mode and really shows off the whole band especially the bass player Eugene

She is a BEAST live, speaking from experience

Great Reaction Guys! Welcome to Jinjer! I hope you continue with this amazing band, they have a very deep catalog of awesome and very different songs! I would recommend a live in concert song for your next stop, Perennial (live at Wacken 2019) or Pit of Consciousness (live in Kiev) as good choices, but this band truly doesn't have a bad song. Keep the Jinjer coming!

This song is pretty sick. It's definitely worth checking out their concert performances. There are plenty of tracks that are recommended if you wanna see something more from these guys. Personally, I think their live performance of On The Top in Melbourne, Australia has an awesome vibe.

Tatiana is the best in the business and I can’t say enough about the band!

Hahaha...it hits me everytime seeing people react to Jinjer for the first time. You should Perennial live @Wacken, Teacher teacher live......🎉

Thank you for reacting to Jinjer. Maybe now Perennial live from Wacken as suggested last time. And Vortex MV is fire, too

I love people's reaction to Jinjer! Very deep rabbit hole. Have fun!

Welcome to the spectacular world of Jinjer! For me, the greatest band on the planet. Check out Perennial live at Wacken…they back their shit up live for sure. Seen them twice. Also look into Vortex, Teacher Teacher, Wallflower, Mediator, Sit Stay Rollover, Disclosure…every song is incredible. Top notch musicians.

The best "I bet I can get a reactor to say WTF? and then have to pick their jaw up from the floor" video...well, this and Babymetal's Gimme Chocolate.

Welcome to Jinjer. That's all her. Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well. My favorite performance is Pit of Consciousness live in Kyiv. Their most unique song is Judgement & Punishment one take. A good drum playthrough is Under the Dome.

This has some overdubs, but they're MONSTERS live! All real pros, and many different styles. Teacher Teacher will show you so many styles.

I would suggest Jinjer - Who Is Gonna Be the One - LIVE And that's because you know what happens in the metal world. This video has tech detail that is amazing.

Teacher Teacher live shows the full gamut of Tatiana's wonderful voice (and its a banger).

Really digging your reactions. Everything you have reacted to has been a banger and your analysis is great too. As for Jinjer, incredible band. Musicianship is out of this world. Tatiana is one of the best on stage. Her vocals are brilliant and her presence is matched by few. Perennial live is great for a next one or Teacher Teacher. Vortex and Wallflower are personal favourites. Every band you have covered so far deserves a deep dive.

If you want a detailed look and listen to Tatiana’s vocals then you have to do “Perennial” one take performance. 🔥MIND BLOWN🔥

100% all Tatiana. She's a beast of a vocalist and she's an angel of mercy all rolled into one beautiful package.

I always enjoy when musicians appreciate the entire band. Great reaction guys, thanks!

That's all her :). Saw them about 16 months ago; seeing them again in July. Catch 'em if you can.

I’ve seen them live, it’s for real all her

seen them live 16 times , insanely good , they got this 55 year old back into a mosh pit for the first time in 25 years.

The best live performance I’ve seen from them is Who’s Going to Be The One live. You really get to see how talented everyone is in this band.

The thing about having no original members left in the band is that they pretty much released nothing outside of some demos before Tatiana joined in 2011. And by that point Roman and Eugene (guitar and bass) were also already in the band. So it's a much different situation than a band like Sepultura that just lost all it's founding members over the course or multiple decades. In Jinjer's case all of their band member shuffling happened before they even released anything of substance. It was just growing pains.

More Jinjer! All their stuff is amazing!

Welcome to your New favorite band! Perenial live @ wacken next plz.

It was their composition that had me immediately interested.... initially *despite* the extreme vocals! Vlad here on drums, is actually a classically trained pianist to trade. He shifted from (self-taught) guitar to (self-taught) drums in his previous band before joining Jinjer. His compositional skills really came to the fore in the most recent "Wallflowers" album (he wrote ~80% of the music on there). I'd love to see what you make of their gorgeous thru-composed (coz #WhoNeedsChoruses, that's why!) single "Vortex" sometime. And if you'd like to understand how the deeply unsettling feel of that song is achieved, I recommend immediately moving onto Eugene's bass playthrough vid for it - it's a 5-string drop-A #MasterClass ;)

Hey guys, you have just entered a deep rabbit hole of great Jinjer songs. As far as a live in concert video, I'd recommend their song Perennial (live from Wacken 2019 video) because the audio/video quality and their performance are excellent. Also, Tatiana's "live one take vocal performance" video of their song Judgement and Punishment really demonstrates what an incredible vocalist she is. I've been a musician since I was a kid (MANY years ago!) and I've played in multiple bands in several genres over the years, but I was never into metal with the scream/growl harsh vocals until I discovered Jinjer and their "metal goddess" vocalist, Tatiana, near the end of 2021. I instantly loved them due to their interesting, sophisticated and varied songwriting, fantastic musicianship and the incredible vocals of Tatiana. A couple other songs I'd recommend...Teacher, Teacher (official video), Home Back (official video), Who Is Gonna Be The One (official live video from Napalm records) and Disclosure (live from Kiev video).

Teacher teacher showcases their range really well

I'm going to join the suggestions for "Pit of Consciousness", live in Kiev and the live version of "Who is gonna be the one?"

You do Jinjer live? I subb! The natural and best follow up?: 'Perennial' live at Wacken and 'Teacher Teacher'. After that you'll probably be hooked, going with the flow of so many impressive tracks.They have a fantastic catalogue so no worries. My absolute favorite: 'Who is Gonna be the One' live, the older version. A blistering live performance, a treat for the ears and eyes. Mesmerising stuff. You just don't know what you have started:-) Btw: Jinjer is world class and are frontrunners over here in Europe together with Gojira, Opeth, Rammstein, Nightwish and so on.

"Who s gonna be the one" and "Pit of Consciousness" guys- live. Then you will see. Theres no wizard of oz behind a curtain doing the diabolic harmonies.

I saw them live in Austin last year, and Tatiana is just as amazing in person. I really can't wait to see them again.

You'll like whatever Jinjer you do.

Excellent reaction dudes! You'll find quite a few musicians among Jinjer fans. All the musicians are top shelf, and I include Tatiana because she uses her voice like an instrument. I've been playing bass and singing for 45 years, and like many, Jinjer grabbed my ears immediately and never let go. They bring that excitement I felt when I first heard Van Halen, or Pantera, or Hendrix. Once you've checked out a live performance or three to prove to yourself that Tati is for real and can pull that shit off without blinking an eye, you might look for playthrough videos by Eugene, Vlad and Roman. They're all phenomenal, and you'll notice very quickly that their band chemistry is uncannily tight. Their songs are complex and varied, whipsawing from one genre to another, but they hang together insanely well. You'll also want to check out the Judgement and Punishment one take for an up close look at Tatiana's vocal prowess. There are so many great songs too discover. If you're like me, it's love at first listen, and it only gets better and better. They're opening for Disturbed on their summer tour this year. Keep your eyes open for headlining shows announced in between the Disturbed shows--you definitely have to see these guys live! I discovered them late last year, and was fortunate to see them only weeks later. They are mind blowing live! I've seen Rush 36x live, and they're pretty much that good. Can't have my Rush anymore, but Jinjer can scratch that itch. And a couple others too!

Check out "Perennial" Live at Waken next. Welcome to Jinjer!

Whenever somebody listens to Jinjer for the very first time, the first thing that literally comes into their mind is who the person singing the heavy screamo vocals really is

Subbed for some more Jinjer, really good reaction.

Check "Who is gonna be the one" live

You might want to checkout their song "Teacher, Teacher" it's a live comp MV, so maybe after you get a full live recording of them to checkout.

I would never have guessed these guys were musicians by their various comments and analysis..

reactions on Jinjer never get bored)

OMGAWD i NEVER get enough of NON-METAL reactors reacting to Jinjer! It never gets old! If Tati were a Demoness, I'd sell my soul in a heartbeat - she is a Goddess of metal voice

This band sounds so amazing live. Not all bands can sound so damn good. You can hear all the nuances in the live version as well as studio versions

Live, everyone says perennial, but who is gonna be the one. Live gives you the best idea of the bands ridiculous range

my favorite metal band

you need to check "how is gonna be the one", the best live perfotmance you can get. greetings from KW-akkustik/ germany

Who’s gonna be the one live is awesome. You’ll see what she can do. I get to see her live in August!! Can’t wait. She’s a badass!!! Disturbed added them to certain shows and one is mine. Yay!! Prayers for Ukraine. Jinjer is from there and they’re doing so much to help people. 💙💙💛💛

Jinjer - Vortex live at Hellfest 2022

PLEASE react to Jinjer - I Speak Astronomy! Either the live version at Wacken or the music video! No one talks about or reacts to this one and THEY NEED TO! Hands down, one of my FAVORITE Jinjer songs 😮‍💨

I've been a metalhead for about 40 years, & Jinjer is the 1st growling band I've enjoyed. They single-handedly re-invigorated my interest in music after about 20 years of near-dormancy. They are all incredibly talented. For this track, they added vocal layers to some cleans & most growls in post-production. Tatiana can't do multi-pitch singing, but she's an amazingly versatile, talented & skilled vocalist, a talented lyricist & melody writer & a kick-ass front woman. The lineup has been constant since 2016, when Vlad replaced Dmytro Kim on the drums. This video was meant to showcase Vlad, who had recently joined...but Tati kind of steals the show. Dmytro Kim left because he didn't want to sustain Jinjer's demanding touring schedule. Eugene replaced founding bassist Oleksiy Svynar in 2011 for reasons I do not know. Roman replaced founding lead guitarist Rostyslav Lobachov in 2010 for reasons I do not know. Founding rhythm guitarist Dmytro Oksen departed in 2015 to pursue an acting career, leaving Roman as the sole guitarist. Tatiana replaced founding vocalist Maksym Fatullaiev in 2010 for reasons I do not know. Tatiana, Roman & Eugene have been the constant core of the band since 2011, & really forged Jinjer's identity together. Vlad, who is a classically trained pianist & very talented multi-instrumentalist, contributes a lot of musical composition as well as his very nuanced, jazz-influenced drumming style, & has quickly become an integral part of the band, contributing to their progressive tendencies. These 4 are magical together.

It may have taken you a while, but WELCOME TO JINJER! The BEST BAND and VOCALIST in the music industry! Yes, I'm biased, but if you take the Jinjer Journey you'll be hard pressed to disagree! Great follow-ups to this are: Who is Gonna Be the One (Live Version); Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019); Teacher, Teacher (Official Video); Judgment & Punishment (One-Take Vocal); Pit of Consciousness and On the Top (Both Live in Kiev); Vortex (Official Video); Wallflower (Official Video); Home Back (Official Video); Mediator (Official Video). I've subscribed and hope to see you take the Jinjer Journey!

You guys were talking about how Eugene plays bass. I've heard him in an interview say he thinks of his bass like a percussion instrument. Great catch on that!

I saw them 2 months ago here in Portugal. They are very good live

Nobody ever really gives props to how fucking tight and talented the band it's self is. The band composes the music and Tatiana gets the songs way after the band has them done. Then she writes the lyrics.

They did some layering here, but it was all Tatiana. They are amazing live.

Check "Who's gonna be the one" live to she her true skills :)

wanna listen to 'em live? Jinjer - Who's gonna be the one

A guess you two have been living under a rock! They have been around for years

All her.😈😈😈😈

Thank you for sharing your reactions, they were priceless. However as someone who has only recently discovered Jinjer I can well understand it. It's like starting off watching a cool little Indy movie about a laid back Jazz band which suddenly turns into full on gore-fest horror flick! Tatiana's vocals are incredible, but thank you for picking up on and pointing out the sutleties(!) of the music.

Congratulations! Now that you’ve been officially ambushed by Jinjer Pisces, you may consider yourself official rock/metal music reactors. 😄

They recorded it live but then added additional vocal and guitar layers afterwards.

Subbed for more jinjer . Best band on the planet

Well guys, welcome to the wormhole that is Jinjer. A little background, Tatiana is self taught, not one singing lesson ever, and you'll find that she is a fucking goddess! Vlad, the drummer, is a classical pianist and he took up drums as a hobby so that tells you what kind of a musician he is. Next up should be Perennial live at Wacken open air 2019, it was their last song of their set which will show you how incredible Tatiana is. I'm subscribing and I'll look for more Jinjer reactions. There is a long list of songs that people usually react to once they watch Jinjer for the first time. I hope you continue to check them out, they are really an incredible band, really no weaknesses. And you'll soon be in love with Tatiana, it's impossible not to be...

You've gotta react to their song Vortex next

Saw them live in December 2021. It was one of the best shows I've ever been to. "Pit of Consciousness," and "On the Top" were smoking. Worth sitting through the two crappy opening acts.

Tatiana is just lovely!

Vlad started playing drums to join Jinjer. He was a classically trained piano player. Good ear guys

Nice job guys you got my sub with this one. You have reacted to two of my favorite bands in your last videos. Also Misa from Band-Maid and Eugene from Jinjer are my two favorite bassists. Their styles of playing are very different but I love them both. As far as the Goddess Tatiana goes, you can’t explain it you just have to marvel at her greatness! You will see when you continue on your Jinjer journey that she can switch from those angelic tones to growls deeper than most men and back, mid-sentence from one word to the next. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m along for the ride and cheers from an old rocker in West Texas.😎🤘🏻

Hahaha! Awesome reaction! Her vocals are doubled in the mix in places. Tatiana is Pisces! DUALITY: Feminine - Pisces is known as a feminine sign as it is more receptive than assertive in its energy. This is also known as Yin energy (Yang is Masculine). It's all her voice and I love that swap to high belt!

That’s Her .

The growl uses her false vocal chords and her technique is very good. She doesn't strain at all. She is untrained though! Most of the tune is in 7/4 time - a lot of viewers miss that. There's some beautiful modal playing by the guitarist and bassist (with some beautiful variations towards the end).. Some of the bass is actually hammer on/tapping although that is less than obvious. The drummer is spectacularly good.

The drummer Vlad is a classical trained pianist 🤘 Check out pit of consciousness

You gotta hear their live performances

There is an endless debate on whether or not the vocals in this video are genuine, unaltered, etc. Despite the misleading title 'Live Session', It seems pretty clear that the production level is much closer to a studio recording than a live show. The vocals are layered, processed, probably several takes were made, etc. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean they can't deliver during live performances. There are quite a few videos out there to be convinced. - Perennial (live at Wacken) - Pit of Consciousness (live in Kiev) - On the Top (live in Kiev) - Ape (live at Mystic Festival 2019) - Who is Gonna Be the One - ... the list goes on

Good reaction. Go hard go live. Who Is Gonna Be the One, On the Top live at Kiev, Pit of Consciousness

Yes there is some layering. However as I'm sure you've learned Tatiana is for real. And Vlad was trained as a pianist. In a lot of ways Eugene's bass and Roman's guitar from the usual, accents on bass and support from guitar. One of the most innovative bands in the world. Great reaction, subbed!

If you scroll down in the description it does say added tracks, but this is 100% live.

There is some post production layering on the vocals, but it's all Tatiana. This track was supposed to show off the band's new drummer. But Tatiana keeps being the center attraction even though she didn't want to be.

It's a live performance but there's still double tracking used on the vocals to overlay and give more depth to her voice.
