About Jinjer
Jinjer is a progressive metal band from Ukraine, formed in 2009.
Jinjer formed in 2009 in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine. The settled line-up features Tatiana Shmayluk on vocals, Eugene Abdukhanov on bass, Roman Ibramkhalilov on guitar and Vlad Ulasevich on drums, with Abdukhanov's prominent bass lines carrying much of the groove.
Signed to Napalm Records, the band reached an international audience with "King of Everything" in 2016, helped by a widely shared live video of the song "Pisces" that showed Shmayluk's jump between clean singing and growls. Later albums "Macro" and "Wallflowers" pushed further into syncopated, djent-leaning rhythms and occasional reggae and jazz detours.
