About Jinjer

Emerging from Donetsk, Ukraine, Jinjer have forged a formidable reputation as one of the most dynamic and exciting bands in modern metal. Since their formation in 2009, they have consistently pushed boundaries, crafting a unique sonic tapestry that seamlessly blends elements of groove metal, progressive metal, death metal, and even touches of reggae and funk, all delivered with astonishing proficiency. At the heart of their magnetic appeal lies the powerhouse vocals of Tatiana Shmayluk, whose vocal range is as diverse as it is formidable, capable of shifting from melodic cleans to guttural growls and piercing screams with breathtaking agility. This vocal versatility, coupled with a tightly wound, technically brilliant rhythm section and intricate, riff-laden guitar work, creates a soundscape that is both brutal and beautiful, intricate and immediate.

Jinjer’s journey has been one of relentless touring and dedication to their craft, building a devoted international fanbase through consistently explosive live performances. Their breakthrough albums, particularly “King of Everything” (2016) and the critically acclaimed “The Walls Are Closing In” (2019), showcased their evolving sound and lyrical depth, earning them widespread recognition.
