When Jinjer first began, their circumstances were uniquely challenging. Based out of the small town of Donetsk, Ukraine, this band has spent the last 15 years climbing the ranks to become one of the greatest forces of modern metal in the world. Their sound is riddled with odd chord progressions and melodies, glued together by their lyricist and singer, Tatiana Shmayluk, who’s personal and in-the-moment approach to songwriting creates a powerful sense of presence in all of her recordings.
The group has undergone a lot of transformation, but their purpose is not one of them, as they express, “It’s hard to imagine being a part of any other band.” Touching on themes of social anxiety, isolation, cancel-culture, self-realization, and trauma, they leave no stone unturned. What struck us the most was their no-bullshit attitude, which in turn gave way to a no-bullshit performance.
We are proud to present one of the most compelling bands in modern metal: Jinjer, on Audiotree From Nothing!

I'd like some Jinjer Ale. There's going to be an Alestorm if you find yourself in a sea of Jinjer Ale. Jesus is spelled with a J, like the J in Jerusalem. The J in Jer is often confused with the G in Ger. J for Jesus. G for God. Jinjer is a kind of root. Mayhaps it would benefit you to rediscover your roots. Michael

Remember August 14 as the day I overcame my stinginess and tight budget and downloaded Jinjer for the first time. I've been aware of their existence for a while. Fans have been ranting and raving about them all over social media. Time to find out why. I mean I have listened to a song or two by them, but I've been busily obsessed with other artists I'm already familiar with. Lacuna Coil, Filter, Tool, Fuel, Spineshank, A Perfect Circle, Taproot, Sevendust, Revis, V Shape Mind, etc. Michael
