#Reaction 

“Perennial Live at Wacken” and “Teacher, Teacher official video” will really get you on your way into their world.

This was a fun reaction, I’m glad that you liked the band but it was also cool to see some of your technical/musical knowledge as well! For other Jinjer reactions I would recommend ‘Judgement and Punishment’ if you like genre blending, Pit of Consciousness, I Speak Astronomy, and Ape

One song I love from Jinjer that is over looked is Just Another.

Legend has it that Tatiana was once asked what her vocal range is. Her response was, "Yes."

"That's a badass singer" - yeah, Tatiana is the QUEEN of metal, and the entire band is fucking talented.

“Perennial Live at Wacken” and “Teacher, Teacher official video”

I was already a hardcore Jinjer fan when I saw them the first time, and it was this song that really made me a fan. In that first concert, I was standing next to a stack of speakers and those low growls at the 4-minute mark of the original video shook my whole body down to my bones - I could feel her words, in my bones. I'll never forget that feeling. Whether they are metal or not depends on how they feel like answering interview questions at any given moment. Eugene the manager has said he believes Tatiana is the best singer in metal, male or female (I concur, personally) but has also said they aren't metal they are just "extreme music." Most fans consider them progressive metal. There is lots more from them. 3 full albums and 2 EPs with Tatiana on vocals (1 of the EPs was later expanded to an album). There is an earlier EP when they were just starting to build the band and members were changing constantly with Tati on only one song and possibly Roman on some but that isn't clear and Eugene hadn't joined and they'd go through several more drummers before Vlad came aboard - all of their drummers have been really good and Jinjer seems to have attracted solid talent from the beginning with the original male vocalist being quite decent, just nowhere near the vocal phenomenon that Tatiana is. "Perennial" live at Wacken is a great next step that is a bit on the lighter side similar to Pisces. Of similar hardness is "I Speak Astronomy" which is one that there isn't a top-quality live video for but the music video is beautiful, and is one of their few love songs that Tatiana says she wrote as a "call to the universe" to find someone she was mentally and spiritually compatible with - mixed with metal growls, as one does haha. Going back to the first record that Tati did all the vocals for, Exposed As A Liar has a live video in the form of the "Crowd Factory live DVD trailer." One of their newest videos is a live performance of an older song but one of their most aggressive, called "Sit Stay Roll Over" live in Melbourne - Tatiana seldom puts all of her coolest stuff into one performance of any of their songs but she does her growls differently in every performance and that performance of that song has belting, extremely fast switching (starting a line clean, then ending with growls for emphasis), and high, medium, and low growls all in one song which is really epic. And yeah, whoever does the recordings for their Napalm stuff is amazingly good.

“Even Warrant can sound great in the studio” 😂 I was dying

Definitely need to check out Jinjer's "Outlander", "Retrospection (live) Napalm Records" and "Cloud Factory live"

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Jinjer. You are old skool. I am 71. Ancient School. I have been a Jinjer fan for 2 weeks. I saw Yardbirds, Cream, Vanilla Fudge, all 1967, The Who many times bdtween 1967 1969, saw Hendrix 5x, Led Zep 5 times in 1969, Spirit 2x 1969, was at Woodstock, Mahavishnu Orchestra 1972, Sepultura, Pantera, Extreme Noise Terror, many,many punk bands,, Janes Addiction Iggy Pop, Meshuggah 2x ,hundreds of other bands. Truth. Jinjer is The Best Band In The World, At This Poiint In Time.

The classic next Jinjer song would be Perennial as many have said. Live is again fun.

Funny that you say Gwen Stefani, Tragic Kingdom is one of Tatianas favorite albums.

Yeah, Gwen Stefani is one of Tatiana's singing idols. Same with Amy Winehouse. You gotta check out Teacher Teacher next 😄. Her switch ups are real sexy in that and same with Perennial live at Wacken open air 2019.

I would suggest "Pit of Consciousness" live in Kiev, "Retrospection" (official video), "Teacher, Teacher" (Official), and the go through the recently dropped Live at Melbourne concert. For something different, I'd suggest The Warning. Probably "Dust to Dust" would be a good intro to their music.

Welcome to the rabbit hole! It's a fine trip!!!

I would describe Jinjer as progressive metalcore or groove metal, but frankly no two songs follow the same formula. I really like bands whose sound evolves within and between records. Clearly they have some strong jazz, funk, alt-rock, death metal and punk influence. Classic elements of metalcore/deathcore that Jinjer uses are syncopated and aggressive rhythms, sinister riffs, and heavy breakdowns - but their song structures resemble technical death metal, and their tone and instrumentation, especially the bass, is more progressive influenced. The very equal split of prominence between the four band members makes me think of TOOL - every part can be analysed and appreciated as part of the whole story and atmosphere. The vocals are mostly in the style of death metal. Tatiana uses low death growls, mid-range screams, hard rock style belting, soft spoken word style or tight, nasal sounding singing. Their versatility and vocabulary of sounds is really what makes them so hard to pin down.

I’m glad there’s still people who grew up listening to old metal and enjoying today’s music. If you want a list of bands I know quite a few that you may like.

Love Jinjer went to a concert last year 1st concert in 25 years. I just had to go see them. Jinjer is 1 of 3 bands I listen to daily the other 2 are Band Maid and The Warning all 3 are different. Band Maid is a Japanese all female band and The Warning is 3 sisters from Mexico.

They are like "jazz players goes metal"thing and i love this

OSN: Is there anything this band can't do? A: Make a bad song...

"Teacher Teacher" should definitely be your next!

Highly suggest “Cloud Factory” official live version and “On the Top” live in Kiev. Going to blow your mind. No, there’s nothing they can’t do. Lol. Thanks for the awesome reaction. Look forward to watching your next one.

hell im 43..ive been a metal head since 9yrs old when i found megadeth peace sells album in 1986...keep going brother

Fantastic Jinjer reactions, keep going, this is gold. (And also you should get at least first 1k subs with Jinjer, everyone does) Great analysis as always. Your detail notes about them are superb, definitely proceed making these videos. Only downside with Jinjer is that they don't have bad songs so this might take a while with Jinjer. "Is there anything this band can't do?" Answer is no.

You need to experience metal with a bit (or a lot) of prog (like Jinjer). Metal isn’t what it used to be. It’s refreshing. 1. Twelve Foot Ninja - “Coming for You” 2. Spiritbox - “Rule of Nines” 2. Ne Obliviscaris - “And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope” That’s suggestions for other bands, but I recommend more Jinjer first! If you love the reggae feel, do the one-take vocal performance of “Judgment (and Punishment) next. 😊🤘🏻

Perennial..

Rocking with Dokken baby, love the 80's but phew Jinjer's got it today!

Just from your "echo in the PA" remark, I can tell you know at least kind of what you're talking about and that you're wildly undersubscribed. Kudos mate

Metal, groove, regge, ya, they can do it all! Love these guys!!

Well done. As I stated in the previous reaction, I suggest Perennial live at Wacken next, but would be just as happy to see Teacher Teacher official video, or I Speak Astronomy official video. Just keep the Jinjer coming...

70s & 80s metal was and is the best.... This band is incredible. I don't care for women who growl but I make an exception for her.

Dude! I haven’t smiled and laughed this much during an Jinjer reaction in a while. Your story of being old and dropping out of metal for a while is very similar to mine. I just turned 48 last week. I discovered Jinjer from reactions last September. If it wasn’t the day I first heard them, it was pretty damn close; I bought tickets to a show in October. Before Tatiana, I didn’t get growling and screaming (beyond Metallica and Megadeth styles). I jokingly tell friends that that was my old man, get off my lawn, thing. “THAT’S NOT MUSIC!” LOL. Enter Jinjer. Now I’m all in. Jinjer has not made a bad song yet. You can even go back to “Inhale Don’t Breathe”, and they were a unrefined, had a different drummer and extra guitarist, but were still great. Definitely, Perennial Live at Wacken should be next. I pulled over just to write this. Later when I stop for the night I’ll comment with other songs and bands I’ve discovered since Jinjer opened my mind. Do you just want band names and specific titles or links?

Loved your reaction! Gained a sub. Jinjer has carved out their own category of metal. Try Judgement and Punishment One Shot.

Awesome channel man! Literally ever jinjer song is great, there isn’t a bad one. Every one has a different sound but they all sound jinjer. They are the fucking best in every way. Also, your reaction to Spiritbox-Constance was one of the realist reactions I’ve every seen. Keep up the great videos!

Judgement & Punishment is GREAT and it has some reggae. Perennial is GREAT as well. Nice reaction. Thank you!!

Probably my favorite Jinjer video combo (song/live performance) ever!! Truly special band man! Loving your reactions, keep it up!

Loving your reactions OldSkulNerd. I’m discovering Jinjer through you, and like you I’m hooked. The musicianship is incredible. You might like to check out Eugene’s play-through of this song for a different perspective. Also, completely different style of music, but one I think you’ll appreciate (especially with the Louisiana French connection) - check out the live performance of Je Suis Malade by Lara Fabien. There’s a version with both French and English subtitles. It’s an epic performance that never fails to bring me to tears. Keep up the great work 👍

its kinda like having brain freeze without eating ice cream...yea wrap your head around jinjer..welcome to the rabbit hole...subbed

you said " thats a bad ass singer... you are not wrong, but... it's a bad ass band.... =D great reaction... BTW yeah they do Reggae too... check out judgement & punishment one take vocal...

More Jinjer! Watch judgment and punishment 🤘

Also, thank you for serving. Thank you.

I'll tell you a funny little story. Jinjer had a concert in my country on March 13 of this year. Apart from enjoying it (jumping and everything else) in some parts I stayed watching, listening and observing with my mouth open, if her voice was real, nothing recorded and I was stupid hahahahah They are spuer profesional 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

I love this band so to see you reationto them is making me hapy. Iblaft mybass if in pure joy 🤣. Mae you have an fantastic chrismas and a lovly newyear. Regards from Denmark

great reaction man, from old to old, greetings from portugal

For some reason I can't stop watching Jinjer reactions...I know it's been a few months since you made this one. This was fun. I'll be traipsing through your catalog shortly. Old eh.. I think I might have a decade on ya.. 50s baby here. When you said Gwen Staffani... I was getting a combo of Billie Holiday, Ann Wilson and Storm Large.. in that order, mostly, none of whom are related to metal. weird, right?

PIT OF CONSCIOSNESS official video (live video is amazing as well)

I've heard people refer to Jinjer as "Groove Metal" and I think it fits better than any other descriptor.

The band pays respect to all of their influences so reggae jazz ska it is all in there man

Loving the reactions

Band maid any live song all songs are on their page domination live is a good one to start with they will blow you away (best rock band in the world

Hey Old Skule, couple years older than you and likewise got pulled back into metalworld after coming across Jinjer...effing amazing. Came across this and thought I'd toss it your way, can't wait to see your reaction. Bloodywood Dana Dan(Indian folk metal) No really!

Great. ! Love Jinjer.

At some point she was part of +6 groups, each one with a different style of music, thats how she gained all that control and versatility. Well, and practice, lots and lots and lots of practice.

Awsome reaction!!!! jinjer is amazing!!!! tatiana is insane ! check out( perennial) live and there is a song judgment & punishment with a one take vocal performance by tati thats a must see plus there is A full concert from resurrectionfest the whole concert is amazing!! But there is another Amazing female lead band that is Great but with a totally different sound Unleash the archers check our (awakening ) full band play through Impressive!!! hope that helps you in picking out something new !

No doubt is her favorite band. The more reggae song is Judgement & Punishment one take. The other time she growls really low is Pit of Consciousness live at Kiev.

Another great reaction. I won't suggest another song because I can assure you there won't be any bad ones.

I love that you aren't constantly talking about her looks and are talking about the band. You have talked about the talent of the musicians from the very start, too. Subscribed.

The Jinjer rabbit hole is deep indeed. You really can’t go wrong with reacting to any of their songs.

Not sure how I missed the drummer's Tom & Jerry t-shirt after all these times watching their video...but I'm digging it, haha!

Great React OSN...cant wait for more Jinjer!

Welcome back to the world of metal, Brother. I got you. Devon Townsend - Kingdom Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine Slipknot - The Nameless Lamb of God - Overlord Mushroomhead - We Are the Truth The vocal changes in these will blow your mind.

The only thing I know about music is the feeling I get when I listen to it, and the sheer power of Jinjer (all 4 of them) has brought me to tears on more than 1 occasion.... but I don't know Why it's so effing good. So I really enjoyed your breakdown of this.... cheers mate 👊👍 I'll be watching more for sure

Love it. If you add up all of their live songs and their official videos, there might be 30 songs to check out. Maybe even more. I myself can think of maybe two of all of their songs that I just can't really get into, but even then I also can't say they suck. For the most part, there is no wrong direction to go with Jinjer. A couple other bands that are throwing some weight around as well are Slaughter To Prevail-Agony Tallah-L.E.D.

Let`s put it that way: Whenever you think you know what is about to come in a Jinjer they do it - differently. You only won´t be overwhelmed anymore when you finally accept the surprises in ideas, patterns and musicality of that band. But then you`ll simply enjoy them. What a nice feeling!

What first hooked me to Jinjer was Eugene's bass lines.

If I could describe jinjer to someone I would call them heavy metal jazz.

Good shit brother. Great reaction. Subscribed.

And as really I like your balanced combination of analytic and enthusiastic style, here are some unconventional but interesting non-metal (autocorrected to non-lethal, LOL) reaction recommendations: * Thunderstruck by Steve'n'Seagulls (LIVE) A bluegrass take on ACDC. Excellent musicianship all around. * Alamaailman Vasarat - Vasaraasialainen An one of the kind sound. Jazz, near eastern melodies, metal, with a clarinet as the lead intrustrument. I have yet to see s reaction on this on YT! There's a good live take available.

Love Jinjer! All 4 members... amazing!

What an amazing group of talent. Even this over 50 ex-metal-head is wondering where they were hiding when I could thrive in a mosh pit? Oh that's right they weren't even born yet. Silly me. I can still enjoy them live from the balcony. lol

loved this reaction bro

They are ALL bad ass. Tatiana is so gorgeous as well!

A comment from their Pieces video: Katy Perry : You gonna hear me roar Tatiana : Hold my beer Tatiana is the queen of metal vocalists. She is extraordinary.

Lol, I didn't see her sit down and waiting I've seen a lot of times this video, thank you hahahaha..

Reactors: What Jinjer should we listen to? Jinjer Army: YAAASSSSS!!!!! I have a feeling you may like "Bad Water" for a funkier deep cutfew reactors do.

Good choice for a 2nd Jinjer reaction, shoving their more brutal side and more sides of Tatiana's voice, including done deeper growls 👍

A Metal Masterpiece.

Im with you on the old school metal situation. Listened to hair metal when at sea on Carrier in the 80's. Friend introduced me to Halestorm about 10-12 years ago. That lead me down a rabbit hole of female fronted bands. Particularly a fan made video of Daughters of Darkness.

Man. the way she subtly rocks her hips like that 13:12 through 13:22

You are picking out all the good stuff, kudos! This is groove metal and Vlad is always in the pocket :) Sample their stuff over the years and see how they have evolved and developed. They work soooo hard and it shows.

Dude love your video keep them coming

Welcome back to the world of metal brother. The Jinjer army isn’t going to steer you wrong when it comes to Jinjer. I love Jinjer but I am not going to recommend a Jinjer song to you because I know you going to have plenty. I would love for you to listen to something a little left field. Here we go Ne Obliviscarus: And plague flowers the Kaleidoscope live in Colorado. This one will shock you and introduce you to an Australian Progressive Death Metal band. Your welcome in advance. Lol

Check out their song Destroy (live BEASTIARIUM) its a studio recording from 2011. It will show you how they have progressed sound wise over the years

Jinjer is best live 😄👍

And just check out Jinjer live in Melbourne, full show. Absolutely amazing. Seen them twice here in Houston. Fantastic

Love this song,....

Great Reaction. From the same concert, "Words of Wisdom" (Live, Napalm Records) is another epic performance worthy of a reaction. It is literally the very next song. The concert is the Atlas Weekend Festival in Kyiv 2017 and the band was on fire that day.

I'm old school as well don't like hardly nothing new but jinjer is so talented and sounds sooo amazing this changed my views.

Perennial live.

i think its safe to say that Jinjer is completly unique and will never be followed by anyone

...nice cuz...this is the best band on the planet in my opinion....says on their web sight they are progressive grove metal with hard core roots or something like that....i found jinjer in the comments of a young family band called "liliac" about a year ago...ironic they were doing the dio cover you mentioned..."holy diver"...so out of coincidental respect i will suggest "Holy Diver" official video by Liliac...( the jinjer army will direct you to more amazing jinjer songs )....they are killer...the young female singer will drop your jaw.....by the way im subbin...thanks peace....

Hello ! I saw tons of reactions to this song. You are the first to notice the mouth opening with her fingers at 13:21. The tiger's roar. 🙂

As an old school metal music enthusiast & practitioner, I never thought that I'll be blown away with nowadays music and musicians. Jinjer is one of them, but I'll share some other amazing musicians that I've been listening to recently, you might want to check them out too: Babymetal, and Dimash Kudaibergen. Great reaction by the way...!

I saw a clip of a fan in the audience recording them playing this song, and the voice sounds just like it does here... This lady is fn' amazing!

OH-S#!T! 😳 I've seen this video so many freaking times, and this is the very first time I do notice Tatiana waiting there in the back! Are you fckng kidding me??...When you freeze it, if you hadn't pointed that out, I never would've noticed WOW 😮 I have to thank you for that. 🙂

Awesome reaction I love Jinjer. A band you might enjoy is Eluveitie, their music is amazing. A great starter song is Inis Mona.

Only discovered your channel yesterday, loving the commentary. Another band that breaks some of the standard metal molds Dimmu Borgir. Gateways Live at Forces of the Northern Night has a few surprises to shake up the standard formula.

Dude you are hilarious, I haven't even finished the video yet but you got a new subscriber. I can totally relate to you (and I also have a 16 year old daughter haha). I'll def send some recommendations also!

Jinjer to me is in the Prog Metal genre. Other bands I would suggest from that realm would be 1. Spiritbox: female fronted with clean and growl vocals. 'Blessed Be' for mostly clean and 'Holy Roller' for all growls. 2. Animals As Leaders: all instrumental jazz based. Tosin Abasi is insane on guitar. Matt Garstka is killer on drums. 3. Between The Buried And Me: just wacky groovy heavy stuff. Amazing musicians. Check out 'Extremophile Elite' 4. Meshuggah: heavy, heavy, djent style. Very dark visuals in their videos. Check out 'Bleed' or 'I Am Colossus' 5. Mastodon: older stuff is more straight up heavy metal with mostly screaming vocals. Everything from the album Crack The Skye to present is more proggy. They use 3 different vocalists now that ranges from raspy to clean. Check out 'The Jaguar God' or ' Capillarian Crest'. 6. Avatar: not really progressive metal, but really fun. You said you like seeing the band having as much fun as the crowd, this is it. Watch a live performance. The lead singer can scream or belt it out. That's it for now. These are just a few of my favorites.

If you want the ultimate "Don't piss her off" video, you want Sit, Stay, Roll Over. It's from 2015, so old drummer, but good lord, that's an angry Tati.
