Jinjer are a very interesting band from Eastern Ukraine.
I've been following their work since they only had 4 songs and, at that time, hardly anyone knew their name (or sound.) I've been lucky enough to see them grow into a fantastic band, I've already went to a couple of their live performances... and I'm sure I'm going to watch another show or two, whenever possible.
These youngsters are overflowing with creativity, talent and energy. I truly think that any Metal fan should put his/her prejudices aside and take the opportunity to see them live, at least once. Believe it or not, I know plenty of Metal fans who refuse to listen to Jinjer "because they have a girl as a vocalist." 😲

Every time they release a new song, it's a complete surprise. I've learned to anticipate anything and to expect nothing... and even so, they manage to blow my mind, time after time!
