It is about the seasons I'm a 53 year old black male metal head I love this band it brought me back to metal . Tatiana is a beautiful poet . Glad to see other black people finally seeing what I was amazed by 40 years ago in this style of music welcome to the jinjer army enjoy the ride 3 albums and 2 eps worth of greatness

This is what Jinjer has said about Judgement and Punishment: As for “Judgement (& Punishment)”, Jinjer add, “How many times have we reacted harshly to something just because we simply do not understand it? It seems like there is an innate human trait in all of us, when there is something unknown or unfamiliar that we tend to question the substance, to attack and finally to destroy it … just like primitive apes. But when it strikes back it might be too much to bare. Every action causes a reaction. ‘Judgement (& Punishment)’ is a reaction. Just keep that in mind.” “This song is kind of about itself, because it has reggae in it and sometimes metalheads just stick to old-school stuff and they cannot stand anything that crosses this line. So in the song I urge people to open their minds to anything new and extraordinary, or something that you see for the first time or hear for the first time. Try not to judge, but try to understand. There is a lot of hatred in this world just because people don’t understand each other.” - Tatiana Shmayluk

The guys write the music and then hand it off to Tati who writes not only the lyrics (sometimes with the help Eugene, the bassist) but the melody! I find this amazing (among other things she does) because she has little musical knowledge and can barely play a guitar to help her compose. She's really a shy, reluctant musician that you'd never suspect would rather be alone in her room than in front of people. She hates interviews, too. But she knows her success is undeniable and is taking her into the stratosphere. So I'll bet, inside, she really digs performing, the adulation and, finally after so much hard work over more than 10 years, the recognition.

Jinjer!!!! TATIANA! Remember this name!!!!! Thank you for requesting that I do these song Next!!!!!!!💕 My first ever double reaction hope you watch till the end.

Yeah Tatiana writes all the lyrics except for a few cases where the Bassist Eugene wrote them. They did write a Jazz song, it's called Beggar's Dance

Tatiana writes the lyrics. The band is amazing too.

Who is gonna be the one (live) has much more growls of Tatiana, you can check it out. Nice reaction!

In an interview Tatiana said that her favorite artists are Bob Marley, Ella Fitzgerald and Amy Winehouse. And her bands Offspring, Opeth and Nirvana

Another vocalist in her style, although with her own twist, is Courtney LePlante from Spiritbox. You might like that one. She's got a really unique delivery in her singing style. Rule of Nines is a perfect encompassing song to get all of her style. Also, the song Judgement (& Punishment) is about her throwing shade at the meathead, masculine, stereotypical bro metalhead that just can't take the fact she can put a lot of their rock/metal idols to shame. It's attacking the trolls that have a lot of insecurities about their "all boys club" being infiltrated. Hence the lyric "I know your pissed off narrow minds cannot believe what they hear".

Loved it! You gave good insight into the technicals. I believe Tatiana writes most of these poetic songs. Most people don't look into the lyrics but I'm glad you did since they get lost in the screams and growls but that's what brings emotion to the songs. I think your analysis and pleasant demeanor will being you subscribers. Wel deserved !!

Fun reactions. Great way to start my day. :) As to jazzy stuff, check out Beggars Dance which is a short outro track for their King Of Everything album but it is incredibly fun and puts a smile on my face every time I hear it (there's a bootleg from when they were working as an opening act and used to play the song from a recording while they cleared the stage and you can see the next band in the wings dancing to it cuz it is just so much fun). A couple of other metal songs with really jazzy parts are a song from their the first record Tati did all the vocals for called Exposed As A Liar which has a live video on the "Crowd Factory" (Play on Cloud Factory which was their next album) DVD trailer. And also Home Back which is from their most recent album, and is based on thier home town having been caught in the war in eastern Ukraine - they had to leave to continue their careers because the battle lines would have stopped them touring. A softer, maybe more blues song is Bad Water about pollution, which is their only full length song that has no growls. #withwith. Cheers!

There is a song of theirs, "Home Back" that has a jazz interlude. However, it is a very heavy song about war. No video, album only.

i love the part of "not youre not dead, just enjoying coma... from the ashes of my roots, the new me will rise to live again"... such a good song!

Jinjer as a group are incredible writers. From a lyrical perspective, I'm still blown away by the lyrics of their song, Captain Clock. Especially given how hard and fast the lyrics are delivered in the song.

Your reactions and analysis are very entertaining. I believe Tatiana studied literature and poetry at university. She's an excellent lyricist. #jinjer.

That tapping sound you heard is called a blast beat.

Watch all her interviews and read up on her. She writes almost every song she does. She wrote this song and Reggae is her favorite type of music including jazz and almost every other genre there is in the music scene. She is so incredible in every aspect of her talent. Im floored by her ever since I watched and listened to Pisces

The lyrics are about how sad she feels when autumn comes and she watches nature die, and also with hope for the rebirth of spring. But it's also about life and relationships. How sometimes things get bad, but resiliency and patience can get you through the bad times until things get better. Very poetic

Love Jinjer. Tatiana puts a lot into her lyrics they are always worth looking into

# This was the first time I visited your channel. Sounds like you have a wonderful voice. I love when singers listen to Perennial. Other reactors pause or talk over that long phrase. She actually sings 4 seconds, then a quick breath. Then 11 seconds up and down the scale finishing with a fully breath supported vibrato. Then a quick breath and right into her growls. When you sing you can appreciate the breathing control that takes. I am going to continue listening to your reviews. You will find that Jinjer fans are really great and supportive. Im sure it's been mentioned, but I think you will enjoy the ending of Who's Gonna Be The One (Live). Also try Teacher, Teacher , I Speak Astronomy , and Retrospection.

I love your energy and what you choose to highlight, in terms of songwriting and performance. Really refreshing!

My impression of your reactions is, they are holistic, and I like that very much. It's not all about singing technique but how that integrates with the music, lyrics, performance and everything. To me, that is so much more informative and entertaining than just talking about vocal technique, as some vocal coaches do. Ultimately, it's the whole that matters.

From what I understand, Perennial is about seasonal depression which Tatiana suffers from. Enjoyed your reactions to Jinjer, they are amazing! You have a great energy to you. Just found your channel. Great job!

She wanted to do jazz or metal and she choose metal it’s why she has so many types of vocals. She likes singing :) Please react to Jinjer - Pit of consciousness (Live in Kiev), it’s amazing :)

This looks fun. Both are such fire. :)

My favorite thing about this reaction is that the reactor can and does sing along with all off Tatiana's clean riffs, appreciating the flavor of each one. Tasting it with her own mouth. I #lovethat. As a singer, it's hard not to fall in love with Tati. She puts so much expression into her delivery. So many different tools and techniques and feelings. And that's before she even starts screaming. That's what's shocking. Her clean voice is SO GOOD. It's got Whitney Houston level of detail and expressiveness and commitment. Then she roars, and it's on another level than what anyone else does. There's just as much variation in her harsh vocals as in her cleans. What really sets Jinjer apart is the variety, the dynamics, the contrast. It's darkness and light, soft and heavy, fast and slow, straight ahead bashing and complicated riffing. It's never all one thing. It's the full palette of colors. They're like Picasso with the brush.

You have to react to "Beggar's Dance" by her. Believe me. You need it.

#Jinjer because I love this band and this girl so bad.

In this days JINJER and SPIRITBOX go hand in hand. So, here I am waiting for that :) Amazing reaction and analysis.

If i remember correctly, the guys compose/write the music first, and when they have them ready they hand them to Tati and she writes the lyrics

Great reaction!!!

She is so beyond amazing! Her band also are great great musicians. N she stunningly beautiful dont hurt either. MmmmM!

This song saved my life. We found a breathless paradise No, we're not dead No, we're not dead Just enjoying coma

Stumbled across this one, you're my new favorite reactor.. So insightful and Love your personality! STAY HAPPY!

Love your breakdown of the song and her talent! Her writing is so poetic. Love her! Seeing her live in August. It’s going to be amazing! Her vocal ability is amazing. I say she is one little badass!!! Your reactions are amazing! Much love❤️

"From the ashes of my roots, the new me will rise to live again" 😇 I only discovered Jinjer about 6 months ago and I'm now a fan. Oh also, maybe I'm biased but I can confirm that the Jinjer fans here on KZfaq are friendly and knowledgeable. Your questions will be answered and there's a lot to react to if you're up for it! P.S. I already spotted Jeffrey Fisher down here in the comments. He's a big Jinjer fan who you can find on almost every Jinjer reaction video on KZfaq😁👌

I do know the band members were displaced from the Ukraine because of social unrest and war. It was a difficult time for them because they had no where go or no where to stay. The following quotes are from an interview with Tati in 2018. Q: What is the music scene like in your country? Is metal a part of it? Metal is not OK here in Ukraine, because it’s not very valuable, not very appreciated. Metal music, in fact, is not very popular here. We didn’t think about proving to the whole word that Ukraine is a great country music-wise or whatever. We’re not that patriotic. We’re not patriotic at all. So we just worked for ourselves, and I don’t think that being Ukrainians is what helped us achieve what we achieved. It doesn’t depend on your nationality-actually, yeah, it depends, because for Ukrainians, it’s not that easy to spread their music, ... because for Ukrainians, it’s not that easy to spread their music, ... So we did a bit more work for crossing the border in general, as a metaphor. Q: I’m curious about how you go about writing lyrics. Tati: I actually work in different ways. Sometimes I write in English right from the start if I feel inspired or if it comes easy for me. But sometimes I have to write my thoughts and sentences and phrases in Russian, in my native language, and then I translate and transform them somehow. Sometimes I just write down everything that’s in my mind. This is called stream of conscious, if I’m not mistaken, like in poetry. So whatever is in your head. That’s how I wrote “No Hoard of Value.” (laughs) That was a complete mess-absolutely zero logic-then I tried to shape it into something I like. Q: Was the song “Teacher, Teacher!” from “Micro” inspired by specific experiences in your life? Tati: I like when people find their own meaning in our songs. For someone, that can be their schooling. For someone, that can be religious oppression of someone. For me, that was people who are prejudiced and they try to teach you from the top of their experience, and they don’t consider that we have different lives. “Teacher, Teacher!” is just a symbol, just a metaphor. It’s not about a teacher actually (laughs). It’s about people who try to teach you their own lessons, and they didn’t actually realize that you have your own path to walk. Q: Is there any kind of story or special meaning behind that tattoo? (on her throat) Tati: Well. not really. I don’t have any special meanings to all of my tattoos. Some of them-or maybe most of them-I did impulsively. I just adore Mexico and Mexican culture and mythology, so I made it as a Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, on my throat. So nothing special, just I really wanted it. I was very mesmerized by the idea of this serpent and of this mythological creature, so that’s it. Q: Is there anything else you’d like to say? Tati: Thank you very much for all the American fans and all the listeners who are not fans-not yet (laughs). Hopefully they will be. I hope to see you guys this fall somewhere around the U.S. Yeah, hope to see you there, and we’ll have fun for sure. Come see us and say hi.

I love how honest and open minded you are, it is great to see someone that just loves music no matter what kind it is, and gives you their true feelings.

Beggars Dance is a jazzy song and the song bad water is all clean vocals. Tatiana writes most of all the lyrics. You will not find a bad song by this band!!

She writes em all, The band writes a song and she writes da words and vocal melody.

Thanks for your reaction, sweet heart! I am not a native speaker and you help me to understand some exclusive language intonations in Tati's manner of vocalizing the words. Keep on doing!

I’m luuuvin all your commentaries and your facial expressions 😂😂😂 And you’re right! Jinjer isn’t as new as people think it is, but it’s always good to see more people enjoying them. Who’s Gonna Be The One and On the Top (Live in Kiev) are a must :)

# total vocal control. Perrenial was the last song in the set which makes her breath control even more impressive. Try “ who is gonna be the one “ live and “ I speak astronomy “.

I knew you'd enjoy and appreciate "Perennial", glad you did this and so soon. Wow, bonus for us and yourself, that you included Tati's 1 year anniversary one take of judgement. "Bad Water" by Jinjer Official Live video is all clean vocals, so again different. "Teacher, teacher" Official Video is also a different vibe. Enjoyed your review and looking forward to your thoughts on more songs by Jinjer. #watchedtilltheend

Loved every second. Thinking you'd be floored by their Song Pit of consciousness live in Kiev. Also, I'd love your take on a classic from a master lyricist/vocalist who can do literally 15 things with this voice. Cradle of Filth-Nymphetamine official video. This song also features a very good female vocalist from the past, kind of as a ballad.

i always like and love doing video so entertaining

I enjoyed your reaction very much. Refreshing way to see reactions. Taking the time to look at the lyrics :)

great reaction! love how you notice every detail

Love the lyrics. Amazing.

The tapping was the drums its called a BLAST BEAT. Great reaction 👍🏻🤘🏻

Great reaction! Love Jinjer!!

Love your reactions. So thoughtful. Keep it up. :)

You need to see Jinjer - Teacher, teacher. That's fire!

The sweetness, and the heaviness, she gives me the shivers.

Very good take on the lyrics and the bond it makes between reggae and metal in this song. Thank you for that. Also appreciate your genuine open-minded attitude.

Thanks for taking the time to look at the lyrics. It's not always fully understandable during the harsh passages. The lyrics are a really important part of the songs and they are really great. Overall. The whole band transports the messages really well...

Amazing review! Another great jinjer song is teacher teacher. Highly recomend listening to that one 😊

I first heard Jinjer like 8 or 9 years ago...been hooked ever since. I think it was on the old XM radio metal channel where I first heard them. She has a unique way of getting her message across!! And the band is killer too!!

It's so interesting to hear an expert's view on singing! I play guitar and bass my singing is...not good! Great reaction video! #Wewatchedtilltheend

Thanks for activating the subtitles in Spanish !!! great analysis !!! thank you!!! GRACIAS!!! DESDE ARGENTINA!!!

I love "Teacher, Teacher" Lyrics too much!

Love your attitude and energy

Wow What A Great Review Video. Dope :)

Interesting you mentioned Jazz. Amy Winehouse was a big influence on her as well as Gwen Stefani. You can hear hints of both in her style.

great reaction. keep going on the jinjer journey. they will surprise you on how many different types of music they put into theirs. sit, stay, rollover. teacher teacher. who is gonna be the one (live) are a few of many to check out from jinjer, they never disappoint.

She stayed on that note for that long. And remember this was the last song of their set. For her to have that breath control.

There's a very good reason why her neck tattoo is a fire breathing dragon! A lot of their music is about growing up in Ukraine and current events there.

Good reaction and breakdown.

I would do anything to get her to do a jazz album. She happens to be a fan of Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald... She really has full command of her voice.

This song was released a year ago and has a fun official video. This one take vocal version was just released. They have been putting out some interesting stuff during the lock down.

Great reaction!! One of the things i love about metal are the lyrical content, (besides the musical performance of amazings and skilled musicians) Things like the nature, polution, human behavior ,religión, political, science, feelings, etc etc, are part of the lyrics, example: -retrospection -Perennial -Cloud factory -bad water -on the top -ape -pit of conciousness -Sit stay roll over -Outlander, And more

"Who's Gonna Be The One" has a jazzy Amy Winehouse-style section

#mosttalentedvocalist We all live Tatiana soooo much!! Not to foreshadow the rest of the band because they are all absolutely amazing too!!

The song is not just about seasons, but actually has a double meaning in relation to her seasonal depression. And it was a two breather at about 5 seconds, followed by a 12 second sustain. Another little fun detail: in the official video and lyrics she sings "no we're not dead, no we're not dead", but during live shows like this she sings "no we're not dead, no you're not dead" - directly addressing the crowd and with that people who might also suffer from seasonal depression. And yes, Tati is very expressive and emphasizes the lyrics or the instrumentals with her body, giving her a fantastic stage presence. And Tati is the one who writes most of their songs. Judgement & Punishment itself isn't new but from last year, there's a pretty lighthearted official video as well as an excellent live performance from Melbourne on KZfaq.

loved the video! u are awesome btw

The song Home back by Jinjer has some jazz vocal elements that you should check out

You want some jazzy vocals? Try Home Back (official video) With lyrichs, and YES, she writes them (and she's AMAZING)

They are awesome!

This was a really great reaction to one of my most favorite bands. There is an official video for this song which dropped about a year ago which is quite entertaining, you might like to watch it. This one take vid of Tatiana that just dropped a couple days ago has been a real treat for the fans. It really showcases her immense versatile talent and personality. Fun to watch!

Plr react to spiritbox - blessed be u won't be disappointed

Great reaction. The lyrics reflect the turmoil of their home country of Ukraine. You have great insight, and seem to know your stuff musically. Keep the Jinjer coming!

Tatiana is amazing, and yes she has an incredibly wide range in her vocals. Just for kicks check out the Jinjer song "Beggers Dance", it's only 2 minutes long but I NEVER would of expected that out of her.

Thanks for good analysis! Please, next "Teacher, teacher"! Best wishes from Bulgaria, Europe!

Jinjer is the best band out there right now....SlipnoT is a close second

1:06... honestly I'm surprised ONLY 2000 watched the Pisces reaction. You can probably expect more on that one in the future. Thanks. Have fun. Jinjer is great stuff.

I can tell you're a real musician because you said 'beat' instead of 'rhythm'... thank you! :D haha. great reaction and comments

You asked for favorite lines and I’m stuck between “how spectacular she is when she kills herself” and the from the ashes bit

#Love seeing your joyful conversation to metal

#Tati and the Tabby...Grin...great job, very genuine and insightful...keep up the great work.

Retrospection and Teacher, theacher. Must See!

Uhm how come I find your channel just now😁 Great reaction! Please continue with more Jinjer and metal in general. I'm sticking around😝

I'm watching till the end. You are nice person.

I love your hair boo ❤️

And now you have a crush. Don't worry, you're not alone.

She said at an interview Ella Fitzgerald is her favorite singer, you really can hear the jazz vibe :)

You might want to check out Beggers Dance, it is just a short piece at the end of an album but had her do a pretty loungey singing part

Jinjer's most Jazzy song - "Beggars Dance". But also Who Is Gonna Be The One (preferably live version from Napalm Records) is worth checking out, the ending is Jazzy there, but also the heavy part is quite interesting as it offers a wide variety of Tati's growl range

Tatiana is amazing, but the whole band is as amazing as she.

she did a song with Twelve Foot Ninja called over and out the song is awesome

A good pure jazz song from jinjer is Baggers dance... Really good song in my opinion. She can really do jazz style without problem.
