Teacher, Teacher next
"Teacher,Teacher" is a must. " Vortex" is pretty rad too.
I love, love this woman's vocals! I was surprised to learn that she was inspired by another one of my favorite artists. That artist, I think would be right up your alley, depending on the song.
I swear when I'm able to, I'll do the coffee thing and when I do, I'll be requesting the pinky up while you drink it because THIS chick's artistry.... Is fuckin fancy.
Otep- "T.R.I.C." or "Blood Pig" are - in my opinion, the best ones to suggest when introducing Otep.
Anyway, I ramble. Love your channel, you're doing great Get that pinky ready đ
Angela Gossow was doing this back in 2000 with the band Arch Enemy. For me, she was the Queen of the scream. Not to diminish Tatiana Shmayluk, I was just into heavier stuff in those days. Arch Enemy's Wages of Sin (2001) really displays Angela's screams. Ravenous being my fav song on the album.
Check out Spiritbox, Courtney has a beautiful voice and strong growl as well. They are amazing, cheers!
@@horrorqueen-ze9tm Vortex is straight đ„
Thank you for actually just listening to it and not just overreacting to the growl! Tatiana is a Beast!!
And a total sweetheart :)
Sweetheart and shy love her she's amazing.
Yes, women in metal is nothing new. There are plenty of women out there that can growl and do gutterals - this is nothing shocking.
Tati can charm the socks off a cobra! She's so feaking cute and uber-talented, as is the rest of the band, obviously.
He reacted to Judgement and Punishment 8 months ago so it wasn't unexpected like most reactors.
9:04 âall this woman needs is a megaphone and a place to hide, and she could pretty much scare the hell outta anyone. But instead, she chose to use her powers for goodâ đ
I'm pretty sure she said in an interview that she taught herself to growl by going out to the street and practising at cars đ€Łđđ
YESSSSS FINALLY!!! Jinjer is incredible. All four of them are next level artists. Vlad the drummer is a classically trained pianist and the rest are self taught. Tatiana has the best vocals in metal. Hands down. đ„đ€
They're talented musicians and she has a good singing voice, her doing the growl thing got them more attention, but they could be successful without it.
Mad respect for you, bro! Every other reactor I've seen get introduced to Jinjer with this video do a complete freak out during that first transition. I love how you keep it real. Highly recommend checking out Jinjer Judgement and Punishment (one take) for your next vid down this rabbit hole. I discovered this band through a reaction channel back in 2018, and they actually were the first band with the harsh vocals that I could stand; now death metal is my go-to. I had the privilege of seeing them live in 2019 and they are amazing!
This entire band is top notch, they are all fantastic and professional. Progressive may not be a strong enough word to describe their sound.
Welcome to Jinjer! I hope to see more of this amazing band on your channel! Great Reaction!
Love the fact that you didn't go over the top when Tatiana went into her growl. The fact you listened to the entire band as a whole was refreshing as well. All 4 of these musicians bring wonderful abilities to the table. Might I suggest a couple of songs?
Perennial (live at Waken)
Who Will Be the One
War
Judgement (&Punishment)
Teacher, Teacher
Also Outlander is a great one. đ€đ»
Have seen them live twice and they are even better up close and personal. Tatiana is amazing on vocals and the band is amazing as well.
Yes i got to see them at a particularly small venue and I loved how personal it felt. They all killed it.
Polo, you are the BEST youtube music reactor, period!!! I like that you can appreciate all kinds of music. You have a great sense of humor too.
I'll tell you like I tell most reactors. Seen This band live 3 times, and met them twice. Awesome people and they are amazing live. Easily the best band I've found in the lat 10 years.Go down the Jinjer rabbit hole. I'm here for it.
Hey Polo, Love how you approach new music with no prejudgments and give it an honest listen and reaction actually understanding song structure and balance! Keep it up man!
Anyone else spend the whole video wondering what Polo would look like in a sparkly mumu? đ
I'm glad you got around to Junjer, they're a great band, everyone is super talented and they really do some interesting things in their music like playing with unusual time signatures. So many great songs from them for you to explore in the future.
Yeah, came to the comments to see who the sparkly mumu person is lol... help us out, internet!!!
@@erich.1355 I checked the Buy a Coffee link, it's the lead singer of The Main Squeeze. Didn't find the mumu pic though đ
@@Not_Ferrari lol Thanks!
The resemblance, minus the mumu, is absolutely there. I love The Main Squeeze
You will get hit with tons of Jinjer suggestions now, so her are mine!
Judgement and Punishment - live one take
Who is Gonna Be the One - Live Napalm
Vortex, Teacher Teacher, Home Back, and so many more!
An amazing band with an amazing frontwoman.
Don't forget Perennial live
@@moocow2oo426 I actually don't care that much for that one even though I know it is the CZcams go-to live performance. It is the last song of their set and she is gassed. I think Who is Gonna Be the One is a much better example (in contrast, it's the first song of their set there). Not that the Perennial Live isn't a great performance, it's just why pick the last song where she is huffing for breath just to speak to the crowd? JMO...
@@tattoodude8946 It's just a great performance. And being out of breath at the end and even at the beginning just shows the breath control that she has. But to each their own.
Oh, man, you have such a good studio! It's all in one: You have a good sound, a perfect camera, excellent lighting, a lovely atmosphere, and a handsome You!
Thanks for your reaction to Jinjer!
You are the first person I have seen who didn't freak out at the growl. Her vocal technique is impressive and beautiful, but I love the way you are interested more in the song as a whole. Nicely done.
This never gets old watching people react to jinjer.
I knew you'd get round to them eventually. Great measured reaction.
Highly recommend Perennial like at Wacken. It really showcases the band perfectly.
I've watched countless reactions to this song alone, you my good man is a chill dude!
I like you saying balanced song, you're the first person I've heard say that!
Grwat reaction!
I have been listening to metal for decades. Tatiana is one of the best metal vocalists ever, an absolute master of the craft.
Those lyrics got passed around the big sites but are incorrect in the chorus. It should be 'scale armor belies virgin innocence'
Jinjer is amazing. I put them in my top 3. This is their most easily digestible song and sets up the growl as a surprise so gets a lot of attention. But they play heavily with time signatures, have awesome lyrics and are all top tier musicians. Really recommend digging deeper
Actually, the lyric is "blaze." Tati sings it in two syllables for the structure of the song. She has even confirmed that it's blaze.
But, I too, have Jinjer in my top 3 bands in the past 5 years. They are an incredible group of musicians.
@@darrinterrazas7774 Belies makes more sense, though. "Scale armour belies virgin innocence." Meaning that the scale armour gives the impression of a seasoned warrior, contradicting the innocence within.
Is there an interview where Tati confirmed that the word is "blaze?" I would very much like to see it to see what else she says about not only that choice of word, but the entire song, as well.
Would be a treat to see them tour with Lamb Of God. Definitely hints of Randy's voice in her vocals, especially that last "away" at the end.
If you are interested, the divisions in vocal techniques are Frye, the higher pitched howls, false chord, the deeper growl, and grunt, the super deep ....thud noise, aside form normal melodic vocals....and Madam Tatiana is an absolute beast at all of them. Live as well, its not studio manipulation.
I love your approach of inspecting lyrics first.
The chorus makes a lot more sense if you use "BELIES" rather than "BLAZE"! I am sure that is the word she is saying. Someone interpreted the lyrics wrong and put on that lyrics web site. It's another instance of "You can't trust everything you see on the internet"! I like watching your reactions! You are a really smart listener.
Scale armor belies virgin innocence, definitely. I may look tough, but I'm sensitive. Pisces!
@@patch5217 I'm thinking that the phrase "Scale armor belies" is saying that the scales on the fish give the fish a sense of security but the scales are ineffective against the hooks and nets of the handsome butchers. The fact that they are unaware that their armor is ineffective is their virgin innocence.
Speaking of not believing things on the internet, you're confidently incorrect. Weird that you're literally just making things up (or parroting them, ironically đ€): "someone interpreted the lyrics wrong" lol.
It's as written, "blaze". She sings it in two syllables for the structure of the song, but it's blaze. She's spoken about the song and said blaze.
@@Trepanation21 I stand Corrected!
It is infact "blaze" - The lyric there are about fish scales shining. Kind of a metaphor for someone dressing themselves up for a role, making themselves look flashy as a defense mechanism to distract people away from the person's insecurities about themselves. If you look at older videos of Tatiana, she dressed down and people even said that she looked "boyish" or "butch" often because she wore men's clothing and didn't wear a lot of makeup and that kind of thing. At some point someone told her that they would sell more albums and get more attention if she dressed flashy and "more feminine", so she took that to the extreme (of course) and now she dresses in full costume often and uses very creative makeup so she turned what would have been taken as an insult to her style and did what was asked BUT on her own terms.
Love it! Discovered you through your Tool reactions. Iâm sure someone else has already said this, but in case they havenât, fun fact: just like Tool, the guys in Jinjer create the music and then give it all to Tatiana who does the lyrics at the end (usually only a week or two before they need to record).
After knowing this, you can see similarities to Tool in the sense of very unique vocal melodies over extremely intricate and unusual time signatures and riffs (riffs for DAYS).
Canât wait to see you continue your Jinjer journey đđ»
Great review. I appreciate how you found a bright spot in every members performance. Seems like nobody every steels the show in this band⊠they all gell and just take you over. If you check out more youâll find all there songs differ from one another and are usually very diverse within each song itself. Thank for the entertainment.
My man! First Opeth, now Jinjer? Keep it up and I may turn on CZcams notifications for the first time ever!
One of the best analysis on this song...made by a non-metal-head, the world is upside down! :)
Check out some of their live performances! Tatyana is a Fireball on Stage!!!!
Vlad (the drummer) was new to the band and this session was arranged as a showcase for his talent. He brought a whole new feel to this track and their sound overall. The whole band are REALLY tight and it gets overlooked so often because of Tatianaâs vocals. Vladâs drumming in this performance is amazing, especially his hi-hat work.
Great video my guy, much love from Scotland đŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż
I'm death .black metal .etc..but jinjer ..I have the utmost respect for ..as stated by many ..the band are all incredible musos.and Tatiana...what can I say that hasn't been said before..she just amazing.and fkn gorgeous as well
I only discovered this song about an hour ago myself. Man, you keep a poker face.
Dude....POLO.....Tatiana is an absolute beast. She's incredible in every way. Jump on in bro.
Perennial live @ Wacken! So good.
You have just started on a Jinjer adventure. Enjoy the ride. Perennial live at Wacken is the next ride.
I believe the actual lyrics are "Scale armor belies virgin innocence." The story is about a fish, & I believe the intent of the lyrics is to imply that the scales on a fish look like armor, & that the armor belies the fact that the fish has the innocence of a virgin.
Wait, youâre just finding Jinjer?
My word. You have enjoyed a lot of metal on your channel, but you havenât enjoyed anything like Jinjer.
My man, you are in for quite a treat. This is the intro to Jinjer, whatâs ahead is quite the spectacle.
Iâve enjoyed metal for forty years and nothing, and I do mean nothing like Jinjer has ever come along. Thereâs been some great things, but there has never been anything quite like this band and their front woman.
Iâm envious of what youâre about to experience. I hope you enjoy it because this band is in a league of their own. Full stop.
Love your comments, well done.
Ukrainian band been on tour raising money for their home country the past couple of years. Need to react to their song "Home Back". Song was actually written after the first time Russia invaded the Crimean peninsula and Tatiana's home town was destroyed. Seen Jinjer past two years. They are great live. They are traveling with Disturbed this year. Going to see them in August. Great reaction!
When you said that drummer is tight, I knew you were seeing/hearing exactly what I saw the first time. This level of musicianship doesn't get any better than what I'm seeing here. And Tatiana is my favorite crush, mama Mia. There worth many more looks at the catalog of videos.
YES! JINJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!
"scale armor blaze" is like when a fish is startled or caught and the fisherman sees the flash (blaze) of light on scales
"virgin innocence" is about the fish in the water not knowing what happens in air-world or why not to go for bait
"one being brings life" is how a fish only reproduces, and also can be sustenance to the life of others
"another runs for death" is the fisherman zooming around the surface trying to harvest
the hooks and nets are alluring, and a way to go see what's up there
but it turns out "handsome butchers" (fishermen) just hack curious fish up there is nothing good up there
"emeralds are ripped away"... the green flashy gemlike scales... and then the narrator/fish is dead so there are no more words
or at least that's my take
Bonus trivia: She has little fishes in her lobe plugs, to extend the theme of everything fish related.
In the lyrics you found, I think that "blaze" should be "belies". ("blaze" had me confused for a while too.)
Tatiana herself has addressed that. In a live stream her and Eugene did in '20 at the beginning of lockdowns she spells it out - "B-L-A-Zed-E" so according to her it is Blaze.
Never heard this before. Tho' I have heard another song before. Amazed that this woman can have such a beautiful voice, then growl like that. Liked the music, but not into growling
They made this video partly to showcase drummer Vlad, who was new in the band at the time.
PIsces is a sign of duality, so "One brings life, the other runs for death" kind of makes sense.
A fun fact about the lyrics is that Tati writes them in Russian first, and then translates them to English!
Another band with a great female singer who can switch between cleans and screams on a dime is Spiritbox. Circle with Me or Rule of Nines are good places to start.
She is a queen of vocals
I thought you'd already done this - my bad! So glad you're doing it now. And, as several other posters have noted, it's "belies" not "blaze" - Jinjer has better vocabulary than 90% of (native) English speakers and that seems to have confused the internet đ
Glad I found this comment. It annoys me (probably too much) that the internet get this wrong.
Nope. Tatiana confirmed it herself. Itâs BLAZE. She spelled it out in an interview back in â20.
@@jtraybourn1160 Really? I thought it was the complete opposite - I'd be grateful if you could link or direct me to that
My interpretation of the chorus..
First of all, there is confusion about one of the words in the first line of the chorus, and some people hear it one way, while others hear it differently. I'll explain both..
1) Scale armour blaze. Virgin innocence. One being brings life, the other runs for death.
2) Scale armour belies virgin innocence. One being brings life, the other runs for death.
The symbol for the astrological sign Pisces is two fish swimming in the opposite direction. This represents the inherent duality of personality within a Pisces.
1) Scale armour blaze. - Fish scales are tough, and shine bright in sunlight. We can equate this to 1 side of a Pisces as people perceive them as strong. They shine bright and they have a tough armour that protects them, which is beneficial to life. "Virgin innocence" is duality. Being innocent makes one vulnerable to being taken advantage of and can lead to destruction. Hence, "one being brings life, the other runs for death."
2) Scale armour belies virgin innocence - Same as above basically. Belies means(in this context) giving the wrong impression and/or disguise. "My scale armour disguises (by giving people the wrong impression) my virgin innocence. She is contradicting herself, she uses one side of acting tough(seeking life) to hide her broken innocence (which can lead to destruction).
In other words, she's allowing herself to take the hits that life throws at her so she can progress, but the world is a butcher and it will rip those emerald scales away, chopping up that innocence.
This is just my interpretation lol
Scale armor BELIES (conceals) virgin innocence
Love the lyrics intro đ
Great reaction as usual
Love the honesty about the look like comment
You're going to enjoy this band quite a bit đ„
u r in for a ride............this crew is incredible
Scale armor "belies" not "blaze". A lot of lyric sources get that part wrong.
It is actually blaze. Sheâs confirmed it in an interview. I do like belies better though for the record lol
@@SparkimusPrime Correct. If you listen to the way she says "life" - you can tell she says blaze. If she was saying "belies", that "i" vowel would stick out - instead you hear that hard "a" in blaze. Her annunciation through her growls is incredible - also the reason she opens her mouth so much when she growls compared to others - she wants her lyrics heard and understood.
@@tattoodude8946 All facts.
Blaze doesn't even make sense lol.
@@quinceykirkland1227 Her scale armor is blazing. Like fish scales can look in the sunlight. I know what youâre saying, but thatâs what Tati said, and it does make sense.
Powerhouse she is...!
YES!!!
JINJER ROCKS!!!
THE DRUMMER!!!
TATIANA!!!
Thank you for covering this band, I've been waiting for this video for a while lol. I'd like to recommend you check out the bands Clutch ( Electric Worry) and Fair to Midland ( Dance of the Manatee)
Scale armor >>belies
No one seems to consider the title of the sing when reacting. The lyrics reference the duality of person. The yin and yang. Good and evil. Light and dark. The Pisces. It's also represented in the arrangement. The sweet siren singing, and the monster.
Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well.
This song is about the Duality of being a Pisces. Two opposite ends of existence trapped in one person.
Great reaction. Pisces the twin fish symbol of the Zodiac this song goes back and forth from singing about the fish and comparing it to herself like how fish are skittish but then she says how she is skittish and the scales are like armour or a mask we put on when facing challenges life throw's at us so a lot of refrences between Pisces the symbol, Fish and there behavior and herself. That's what i've gathered unless there's a hidden meaning?.
wow never heard that before and it was insanely amazing
It is âScale Armor Beliesâ Virgin innocence. Beneath the armor. Hope that helps make sense of that line.
Been waiting for this one! Ty
Kuddos to you reacting to the song and not just to the growl. Noticing the excellent drummer too. đ
Love the infinity gauntlet comment. LOL. Hey -- a man today can wear anything as long as it has an UnderArmor logo on it. You'd rock a tactical mumu. No question.
she is awsome, for the lyrics, scale armor blaze, is obviously link to the pisces. like fish scales that looks like an armor. then one brings life, the other run for death, its about the duality that affect pisces people behavior.
She is amazing. 12 times live
the rabbit hole of all rabbit holes and ukraineâs finest,they have lots of great songs and i hope you react to more.
i recomment "judgement and punishment ( vocal one take) next or "perennial ( live at waken) both shows what tatiana can really do.
Perennial is a masterpiece as well as I speak astronomy, a personal favorite of mine is Waltz, a simple song but in my opinion, awesome
Teacher Teacher!
The Dualaity of the Pisces ,the Two Fish one going up other down one brings life , the other div well for me it's real world and Fantasy ,my troubles. And Neptune is are Ruling Planet, I have a Femine sign I recently read
She's describing the duality nature of a Pisces. The singer is a Pisces. Hence the name of a song. Have a quick read about Pisces to get a better understanding of their nature.
You are funnny. Nice video. Sending best wishes from Ukraine.
Amazing song!
Spiritbox is another band you should definitely check out, maybe starting out with their older stuff. Courtney is a beast on vocals. Beautiful voice, and the band kicks ass.
Check out Iâm so sick by Flyleaf As much as I love Tatianaâs voice, I like Lacey Sturmâs from flyleaf a little more.
The mumu I'm OK with. The sparkles not so much, that sh!t gets everywhere.
If you watch closely, she says, 'ego hardly can be BIG cause I'm selfless' and 'scale armor BELIES virgin innocence' - just thought I'd throw that out there.
best Metal band out there right now is Jinjer the best rock band out there right now is The Warning....Female rockers are killing it right now!
Jinjer is awesome! Listen to Lorna shore if you want some crazy deathcore vocals
Haha been waiting for this one!
Pisces is making the reaction rounds again (as well as Ghost Love Score and Gimme Chocolate). Feels like 2019 all over.
Song dynamics? Off the hook. This song is a masterpiece. Tatiana forever.
You should do other Jinjer stuff. I recommend "I Speak Astronomy".
Glad you enjoyed it (we knew you would) a couple more songs by then I know you'll enjoy...
Judgement and punishment
Scissors
Sit stay roll over
Would really love to see you react to Wolves at the Gate. "Deadweight", "The Bird and the Snake", "A Voice in the Violence" would all be great pics. You'll love the vocal dynamics
I think it's supposed to be "Scale armor BELIES virgin innocence"
Learned the song on the guitar and that ending is such a pain.. Very fun song to play though !
To me the chorus is a dichotomy based upon the Pisces mythos- two fishes. One is bringer of life, the other is his dark antithesis. The fact she later refers to being "Neptune's child" makes this seem more plausible.
great singer great song, this f's ppl up when i play it in the car and they are amazed it is a woman. small request "the gift of guilt - gojira" youll love it. please do live they are great in studio but live is whole nother level thanks for the videos :)
Bit of Opeth in this performance. Nice
I'd love to see a dual reaction to Great Gig in the Sky and Knife Prty. I see the latter as an homage to the former.
I Speak astronomy is great from Jinjer
Lmao POLO with the stankface
Follow the fans. More please. Anything live
the song speaks of the duality of every human being and the internal struggle to equalize your evil and your good .
Itâs a little more about the supposed personality type of Pisces, but if you want to interpret in that wayâŠ
@@Enochulator and the Pisces zodiak emobies the very nature of humanity , personally zodiak signs are just a humans way of trying to label sh!t as we do...imo total horsesh!t .
@@anthonyrollins9825 sure, it's nonsense, but why would you jump to the conclusion that this speaks about the struggle to equalize your good and your evil? why would you ever want those to be equal?
@@Enochulator because that is what it is to be human , and if you failed to see that - I have not.
@@anthonyrollins9825 striving to be equally as bad as you are good? uh, ok.

What I find the very most interesting is that she says she started as a reggae singer đł wtf? Then I heard their Punishment song and I was like đ§ huh đ
