About Jinjer

Hailing from the Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine, Jinjer has carved a formidable reputation for themselves on the global metal scene since their formation in 2009. Initially a more straightforward metalcore outfit, the band underwent a significant evolution, honing their sound into a unique and powerful fusion of groove metal, progressive elements, and even hints of djent. Their breakthrough came with the release of their 2016 album, “King of Everything,” which showcased their increasingly sophisticated songwriting and Shmayluk’s astonishing vocal range. She effortlessly transitions from guttural growls to soaring clean melodies, often within the same song, a feat that has become a hallmark of their sound.

Subsequent albums, “Cloud Factory” (2014), “Macro” (2019), and their latest offering, “Wallflowers” (2021), have solidified their position as innovators and powerhouse performers. Jinjer are not afraid to explore complex lyrical themes, often touching upon societal issues, personal struggles, and the human condition, all delivered with an unflinching honesty. Their live performances are legendary, known for their sheer energy, tight musicianship, and the undeniable charisma of Shmayluk, who commands the stage with an electrifying presence. Notable hits that fans can expect to be clamouring for include anthems like “Pisces,” “Perennial,” “I Am The Thunderbolt,” and “Home Back.” Their ability to craft songs that are both technically demanding and incredibly catchy has earned them a dedicated and ever-growing fanbase worldwide, testament to their exceptional talent and relentless touring schedule.
