A very personal song
In an interview given to Metal HammerTatiana explained why Green Serpent holds a special place in his heart: “It’s a very special song for us. I’ve been sober for a few years now, and this song is a little bit about that.”
Bassist Eugene Abdukhanov also expressed his admiration for this song: “I still remember the moment I heard Tatiana sing this song for the first time. I had tears in my eyes. I too have been sober for five years, so this song resonates deeply with me. I honestly think it’s the best song Jinjer has ever written.”

An album marked by resilience
Duel marks the great return of Jinjer after Wallflowers (2021). However, its creation was hampered by difficult circumstances, including the war in Ukraine. Tatiana had entrusted in 2022 to Bloodstock TV : “It’s easy to write about war when it’s not happening around you. But when it started, I was absolutely devastated and creatively paralyzed. I can’t write about this subject, I still can’t process it.”
Despite these challenges, the band announced the album in October 2024 and have already released four singles: Rogue, Someone’s Daughter, Kafka et Green Serpent.
An album to discover soon
With a release scheduled for February 7, 2025, Duel promises to be a deeply personal and emotional album, a testament to Jinjer’s resilience and evolution. Fans can already enjoy the clips for the singles, available on the group’s official platforms.
