Ukrainian progressive metalcore band Jinjer take center stage in the latest episode of Audiotree’s From Nothing series. Recorded on August 31, 2023 in Chicago, IL, the session includes an intense performance and an in-depth interview with the band. The members of Jinjer deliver captivating interpretations of their tracks Vortex, Wallflower and Dead Hands Feel No Pain.
The band’s rise from the small town of Gorlovka in Donbass, Ukraine to becoming a modern metal powerhouse is a testament to their resilience and talent. Jinjer’s music is distinguished by offbeat chord progressions and unconventional melodies, perfectly tied together by Tatiana Shmayluk’s emotive lyrics and dynamic vocal presence. Audiotree praised the band for their “no-fuss attitude,” which was evident in their raw and compelling performance.
Jinjer’s commitment to his core unit remains steadfast despite his evolution. They explore themes such as social anxiety, isolation, cancel culture, self-realization and trauma, providing listeners with an experience that is both profound and authentic.
