NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR THIS!!!!!! Blind reaction to JINJER - Pisces 

"Paramore can go take a seat when Jinjer's around!" 😂😂 Truer words have never been spoken. Unfortunately Jinjer is still highly underrated.

Jinjer Army reporting for duty. The rabbit hole of songs is very deep, they don't have a bad song and every one is different. They performed this song here how they do it live; they only have one guitarist (now), so second guitar parts that many songs have are piped through the PA or board (you can hear it here in the pre-chorus) and Tati has some subtle tracks that she harmonizes with to enhance the overall sound. Oftentimes live, you can see Tati pull her in-ears almost on every song to make sure she's hitting the correct pitches when singing.

We will have such sights to show you! Jinjer is the best thing out there. Stellar musicians. Perennial live at Wacken is generally next. Then Judgement & Punishment one take vocal. After that take your pick…every song is amazing and unique. Vortex, Wallflower, Teacher Teacher, Disclosure, Call Me A Symbol. Two of their more rip your face off songs are Sit Stay Rollover and Mediator. Welcome to the Jinjer family ❤

Tatiana has the voice of an Angel. She also has the voices of a Legion of ten thousand Demons she keeps imprisoned in her ventricular folds. They don't possess HER, she possesses THEM!

Seen them live four times and they never disappoint. Masters of their trade.

Someone has already suggested it, but let me vehemently agree that your next Jinjer reaction should be "Jinjer Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air 2019" (music festival in Germany.) One of the best live performances I've ever witnessed.

This video is a re-release of an older song. The drummer here (Vlad, their current drummer) had just joined the band and they liked what he added to the song. There is post-production on this but the additional vocal tracks are still Tatiana, just layered. Check out any of the live songs and you'll see how amazing all these guys really are!

Even though it is a live session, they have indeed layered some vocals. You can hear a whisper added in an earlier section as well. This release was to showcase their new drummer Vlad. He's incredible. You can even hear some layering added in post for the live shows. Speaking of which, You are going to get a LOT of suggestions and they will all be pretty damn good. They 100% shine live. Most people hit up "Perennial" live at Wacken next then branch off in to many directions.

Tatiana is a world class growler, there are very few front women in metal that are in her league. Jinjer is one of the best bands in metal today, I think that the Jinjer rabbit hole is well worth the effort to go into. I think that you will find Jinjer to be a musical thrill ride adventure.

Welcome to Jinjer. Those growls are all her. Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well.

This was the most beautiful reaction ever.... we literally watched you fall in love with a vocalist! We need more JINJER!

Really wonderful reaction! Very insightful commentary. Welcome to the world of Ukrainian progressive metalcore/groove metal. Jinjer is not a beginner band and understandably can be too much for many not used to complex music. The balance you speak of is key and for me is best shown as the 4 of them are truly world-class at their skills but they perform without ego, and create complete songs. Tatiana is one of the best growlers out there. And the incredible depth is achieved through false chord activation. This session does have some back end mixing done to it and some effects have been added like the harmonizer at the end of the 2nd verse but the performance was tracked live. For one of their best performances check out "Perennial" live at Wacken. Hope to see more soon

You’re going to have fun experiencing all that Jinjer has to offer. There’s no bad song. Check out her one take vocal of Judgement & Punishment. Perennial. Cloud Factory. My favorite by far is Vortex. That drop going into the growl and the musicianship on their part is next level. You feel it. Have fun. Tatiana is a badass!

Your reaction was so much fun to watch. The live one take vocal of Judgement and Punishment is another good one to check out from Jinjer.

Wait until you hear more! Perennial-live at Vaken Judgment and Punishment-one take vocal performance ...and my personal favorite Teacher Teacher-OMV

Lolol. I knew where this went and I couldn't wait for your reaction. It was all I could have hoped for. Enjoy!

My late partner was Pisces and diagnosed as bipolar - this song totally fits! Your reaction - LOL! Never gets old! The singer, Tatiana, is a Pisces and before Jinjer she was a teacher in the Ukraine. Imagine being the class clown? Cue their song "Teacher, Teacher"!??.... This live studio video was originally made/intended to show off their new drummers' skills! Mad skills! You did say something like "A woman who can do it all"... yes, you're right! Vocal fold echo - two tones at the same time - usually an octave or more apart in harmony. Some singing Ukrainian monks could do it, maybe Tati learned it too?

Welcome to Jinjer. Tatiana is vocal goddess and the band are skilled musical kings. I recommend "Perennial" live at Wacken for a follow up reaction. Make sure you download the lyrics; Tatiana writes great lyrics. Fun reaction (Subbed)

An amazing singer . Total control of both types of voices. Worthy of a deep dive for sure.

Oh - Elizabeth (The Charismatic Voice) has done some amazing reactions to Tatiana and Jinjer and also did a wonderful interview with her as well - worth a watch, they are adorable to watch

Oh, this is going to be GOOD. *rubs his hands together before watching*

They often use a tiny delay plus reverb on vocals in their live performances. It is also possible that this recording had some post-production to clean things up. But they consistently play this good on stage so it doesn't matter. Lyrics for this one are written by Tati, except for the last verse written by Eugene, the bass player.

This is one of the pillars of react content. Congrats on moving to the next level

Cool reaction. Tatiana is one of the best to do what she does. Not easy to pick the first time because she take all the shine, but the band is also insane. The 3 guys are top musician and the way the write and play difficult things is awsome. Some others tell you what could be next. Be prepared, here you've just seen the top if the iceberg ;)

Well, this was absolutely not what I expected...wow, what a voice! That was absolutely incredible. More than half the time my jaw was on the floor and I swear my eyes are going to pop out of my head...LMFAO Phenomenal. Just phenomenal Thank you Melanie for getting this one in front of DJ...what a trip! And thank you DJ for the awesome reaction!

And this isn't even her low growls. My first Jinjer concert I was standing next to a stack of speakers and her _low_ growls shook every cell in my body. And this isn't even all the games she can play with her cleans either. This is live-ish. There's post production layering of the vocals. But she can absolutely bring it live, which is why we usually suggest a concert video as a followup. Perennial at Wacken actually has a bit of clean layering at one point that wasn't in bootlegs from the show. I'm glad you pulled up the lyrics. Tatiana's lyrics are always worth looking up the lyrics for. Subbed. Cheers!

When you get passed the shock of the growl, the song is really deep. Even the music connects to the theme

Jinjer are a phenomenal band and Tati is a Queen! Love Jinjer! 💛💙

I've seen them at a gig, not only is her voice, and the whole band incredible, but the energy that Tatiana brings to the stage is just incredible

Great reaction. You can go down the wormhole, and work your way to the present, or just go right to ' Pit of Consciousness (Live in Kiev)', for the lowest of lows, great cleans, and insane fry screams.🤘

It honestly feels sadistic, but I can't stop finding new blind reactions to this song.

Welcome to Jinjer. A deep hole that will mesmerize you for months.

Teacher Teacher!! Judgement and Punishment!!!!

One of her influences? Gwen Stefani. Amy Winehous is another. The switch happens very natural for her. She's known for it. I have a playlist of excellent live videos from them. Any of them would be good for a reaction. ru-vid.com/group/PLhlYsqoR9XLEpHTbaOovrpa1p8L2uZ81G Some people mistake a "live session" for a "live performance". Basically a "live session" is how you start a recording not how you end it. Prior to the early 70s every band had no choice but to do live sessions where everyone started the recording of the song gathered together in the same room because there wasn't enough tracks to do the recording instrument by instrument the way it can be done now. After all the band members record their base parts for the song, they have the option for adding to them afterwards. Live sessions are done now to capture the magic of a band which is good playing together live. Jinjer is one of those bands. They can still go back and add additional layers if they like which is what is done here. So yes you did hear it right. She in a few places here and there layered her voice to thicken it afterwards which is a pretty common technique in recording because unlike guitar players who have effect pedals and amps she just has her voice. They also like to use her backup vocals in live performance which is also very common these days.

Loved this. Jinjer is a rabbit hole well worth jumping down:)

Aaaaahhhhhhhhh Jinjer and Tatiana singing - awesome And 'what just happened?' - welcome to the Tatiana effect

the voice of a biblically accurate angel 😍

Welcome to the Jinjer Family. There are added vocal harmonies in parts of the cleans and also in sections of the growls. You are indeed hearing two voices at times. Otherwise, that's all her. I'm a mid-50s fan of many genres of music who stumbled onto this very video 13 months ago and then watched: JINJER - Perennial (Live at Wacken Open Air 2019) | Napalm Records And have listened to Jinjer every day since then. Saw them live in September 2023 and they were simply incredible live. They are very much the real deal....one of those bands that is better live than in the studio....and they are good in the studio. A deep rabbit hole to fall into....take the drop. Cheers.

She uses her " false vocal cords" for the growl. She uses her "normal" vocal cords for the clean. That's how she bounces so effortlessly.

😂When DJ said : she has a cool voice. The rest of us : just wait 😂😂

😂 I was waiting for that shift. Amazing.

Dive deep into Jinjer, an amazing band

Bwahaha! Reactor rite of passage complete! 😉🤣

Rap, jaz, reggae all wrapped up in a metal core bow

Saw JINJER live for the first time. Hooligans 8-8-2023. Standing room capacity was 700 people. New album coming this year. Liked and Subscribed. Have fun!

Not a single bad song in their ENTIRE catalog!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽 Awesome reaction buddy

All I can say is enjoy the rabbit hole. From your reaction, it's just a fact that your going down it. ❤ I've been lucky enough to see them twice at HMAC in Harrisburg, PA, USA. It's a very small venue and the shows were epic! They're even better live. 🔥🔥🔥

finally got to see them live last year, they did not disappoint at all, just as good live.

Best band on the planet . Have seen them twice live. Fucking amazing

It's a live session, but they added an extra vocal and guitar track here and there in post. Tatiana is a phenom! She writes all the lyrics. She raps too! It's funny you mentioned Gwen Steffani because Tatiana cites her as one of her influences.

I've lost track of how many reactions to this song I've seen since 2018, so much so that I had stopped watching them, but this was a refreshing reaction and I enjoyed it.

"YES. YOU YOU DID." I'm done. LMFAO so good.

DJ: "I'm in love." Tatiana: "Mission accomplished."

Got my popcorn ready for this. 😂 It never gets old. 🤘

Always good to find another Aussie reactor. Yes, it's a song about duality. Ah, you found *that* version. There's actually a bit of debate about that lyric. I think it's "Scale armour *belies* virgin innocence", rather than "blaze". It's how she says it, and it makes a lot more sense anyway.

I've watched about 50 reactions to this song. Yours is, by far, the most fun and thrilling to watch. One can actually see and feel how the song touched every single fibre your soul. It's just beautiful. That's how I've felt the first time and still do. This song never gets old. It's phenomenal, next level, and completely out of this world. And your reaction easily does it justice. Thank you! By the way, I loved your No Doubt reference. There's definitely some Gwen Stefani in there, and I love it. Never heard Tatiana explicitly mention No Doubt as an influence, but apparently she's a huge Ska buff. So, maybe …

Welcome to the world of Jinjer, they are so good. Tatiana I believe has an English Lit degree and all their song have very deep and great lyrics. I know they call this "live", but there is some edit involved with the overlay to her voice near the end. Vocally if you want to see what she can really do in a true live take, then go watch "Judgement (and Punishment) - Vocal One Take" or "Perennial - live at Wacken". So many other great songs though, Home Back, Teacher Teacher, Retrospection, and Who is gonna be the one....

These type of reactions just never get old lol

It's a live recording, not a live performance. There's a lot of post production throughout the song, as it should. Absence of post production would be amateurish, not impressive. Their studio recordings are professional and impeccable, and their live performances blow you away with their incredible energy. Best of both worlds, quite like Electric Callboy in this regard. What truly shocks me is how people failed to recognize their awesomeness. Go watch Teacher Teacher, which is a studio recording with a video clip made of clips from live performances... in which they were opening for another band!

Even with live recordings, you can go back and add tracks and manipulate/balance the final audio. I don't know enough to say that's what was done when it sounds like her voice is doubled, but I wouldn't call it dishonest either - it's part of the process of creating a music video. Jinjer is a Ukrainian band. Their song "Home Back" is about being forced to leave their homes when Russia (pretending to be separatists) took over in the Donetsk region in 2014. When Russia formally invaded in 2022, several of the band members (then living elsewhere in Ukraine) initially weren't allowed to leave Ukraine because they qualified for the military draft. They were eventually able to get waivers allowing them to go out on tour, but it shows how very relevant the song still is and I think you'll love it. You should definitely have the lyrics pulled up to follow along.

“I need a nap, and I need to fight some one”. I feel you buddy!

OMFG That is the first time I've seen the fan come out. What a reaction bud, keep it up.

This was so funny. After you gushed for 10 minutes about how good the song was, I couldn't stop smiling know you were about to get knocked on your ass. So funny, and FYI this is metal.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh this is gonna be great! I already assumed you knew of Jinjer. As a metalhead they are awesome!

Thanks 😊

Jinjer Perennial live in Wacken Jinjer Who's Gonna Be The One live Napalm Records 🔥

" I don't know what this song is doing to me." 😂😂😂. You had no idea what was seconds away. I've been watching ppl do this for five damn years now and it never gets old. 😂😂😂 Edit: just fyi - this is starter jinjer. Buckle up. 😂

Her main voice/singing is live, but they have layered it afterwards as well in multiple parts of the song. For example the third verse starting with "Neptune's child..." has a very clear layer. There is of course also reverb and delay as with any vocal mixing.

"...where we can hear what she can really do with her singing voice" Yeeeeah, this song is relatively straightforward compared to a lot of their other stuff. Not only does Tatiana have a much broader vocal ability, but every band member flexes much more than this

if you REALLY want to hear the Gwen influence, _Who Is Gonna Be The One_ But i'd hold off on that one until after Perennial , Judgement & Punishment , and Teacher Teacher.

That never gets old :) Typical rabbit hole videos: Perennial (live at Wacken) Judgement & Punishment (one take vocal) Teacher Teacher (OMV) Pit of Consciousness (Live at Kiev) Vortex (OMV) Who's Gonna Be the One (Live) Honestly there is no bad song and every song is different but yet Jinjer. Enjoy the trip down this hole because it is a fun ride.

Great reaction as a jinjer fan i have seen many but yours is one of the best. Jinjer is from ukraine they are titled as cultural ambassadors and therefore allowed to leave the country and the guys don,t have to fight the russians. What you heard is called vocal layering and a prerecorded bit is used to give an extra layer to the voice and you can only do this if your timing is right. Now for jinjer as i understand it works for them in the way that the guys create a piece of music and then tatie goes and listens to it and she makes the lyrics based on what she hears and feels. Enjoy the rabbithole the jinjer army is growing and growing.

They added layers of her voice.

I absolutely love people reacting to this song that have no idea about Tatiana or Jinjer. While I believe this song was done to highlight their new drummer, the setup of her cleans and growls just makes for a great reaction because no one sees it coming. And I agree, I love the cleans and growls, but her belt is just great. I highly suggest checking out perhaps "Teacher, Teacher" or "Perennial."

Although this was basically a live session, there is a little post-production. Close attention to the various camera shots suggests that they did two takes, and augmented the vocals of one with doubling from the other in a few places. This was actually a re-presentation of an older song of theirs, made in order to showcase their (then) new drummer, Vlodimir, to their existing fanbase. They were quite surprised when it went viral and broke them internationally to an audience unfamiliar with Tatiana's style. In live concert, Tatiana often uses vocal backing tracks as part of the overall artistic effect (as of course, do many other bands). I suggest you follow this up by watching 'Perennial' from their 2019 Wacken appearance. Some online lyrics read "Scale armour blaze, Virgin innocence" while others give "Scale armour belies virgin innocence", which is what I hear in this recording and which I think makes much more sense poetically in the overall context of the song.

Welcome to your new favorite metal band. ;)

She uses her false vocal folds to growl like that. It's the same technique Jonathan Young uses to hit his lowest bass notes, like the one in Bass Gang's Centuries. If you want to learn about it in a way that makes sense to non-musical people, check out The Fairy Voice Mother's reaction to this song.

Her vocals... there's your duality

reactions on Pisces never get bored

Hope to make the premiere

As I was scrolling, I saw PISCES. by Jinjer with your name on it.....i thought...ohhh I need to watch this. It will be good. Since I know how you react to the unexpected.

You should check out 12 Foot Ninja with the song Over and Out, it features Tatiana, and I think you would get a kick out of the video. Plus it took me about 90 times watching the pisces video to notice her earrings lol

Welcome to the world of jinjer where Tatiana is a Goddess! Next try perennial live at Wacken. Also Teacher Teacher! Also who’s gonna be the one live! Also Vortex and Pit of Consciousness. Welcome to our jijner family! Great reaction! I just liked and subscribed!

So there is a pre recorded backing track that is doubling some of her lines, which makes it even more impressive because she has to harmonize and hit those notes perfect because it'll be even more noticeable if she misses. Also listen to I speak Astronomy next to see her really sings her heart out at the end

On point comments with the No Doubt Gwen Stefani & "comfortable feeling" comments. For me this track gives HUGE Incubus vibes, especially on the mellow bits. No Doubt & Incubus are big influences with this band, but then so are SO MANY other varied artists, including Otep, House Of Pain, Bob Marley, Lamb of God, Mudvayne...the list goes on. Yeah...their influences are kinda broad :D No one else screaming with her, but yeah, this "live" session isn't really live. Her voice is definitely layered and compressed at multiple points of the song. This was an intro track for their new drummer Vlad. Don't worry though, she goes as hard live as she does on this track :) This is definitely one of their most mellow tracks. The outro is more indicative of their normal sound (if you could even say that they have a "normal" sound.) HIGHLY recommend checking out Teacher Teacher next. That song is the one that solidified me as a Jinjer fan, and it really shows off the skill of the rest of the band (not that this one doesn't, but her "surprise" vocals kinda overshadow their elite musicianship.) I think I recall your channel from your Electric Callboy reactions. There's a HUGE crossover between EC & Jinjer fans. Seems like a weird combo, but eh, we love em both!

WeLL.. now watch Perennial - live at the Wacken Festival * 2019 Tatiana is amazing and so are her musicians too !! Waiting for them to return to Argentina

Love❤ your reaction. So authentic and respectful of the arts. Respect, man!

Awesome and fun video!

Heavily recommend Vortex by them next. Great reaction!

I came just for the "1 month" timestamp 😂😂😂

Gods, I love watching people break the first time they hear this track and this group. I don't know if you've seen it, but next Christmas you should react to Elliott Robinson's Not That Mean (A Grinchy Rebuttal), which is the second from the right, second row of the recommended videos after the Pisces video finished. I think you'll enjoy that as a diehard Grinch fan Edit: Elliott's name and track title correction

11:15 - Funny that you think that, because putting aside the fact that there are no original members left in the band since 2015, of the current lineup Tatiana is the oldest member, shortly followed by Roman, the guitarist, so it was them who joined her and not the other way around. 🙂

The band writes the song first, then Tatiana does the lyrics. This video was to showcase Vlad thier new drummer.

And Tati steals another soul.

Loved the reaction and subbed to support love the pauses

Melanie has good music taste for requesting this one :D

No one has ever heard the song, but everyone stops playing before the growling and goes back a few seconds!

It’s all her with some added overlay of her vocals.

You have live version from Wacken festival 2019. She is even more amazing live!

I loved your reaction. Yeah, Tati is one of the best at the false vocal cord technique. Another one the bands that influenced Jinjer is the band Opeth and I highly recommend them if you are not familiar.
