Jinjer vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk has streamed a one-take vocal performance of her band’s song Hedonist.
The in-studio performance is the latest in a series of viral live sessions that Shamyluk has done over the years, which began with a take on Pisces in 2016 that earned 93 million views and marked the Ukrainian progressive metal band’s breakthrough. A 2019 performance of Judgement (& Punishment) found similar success, having amassed 11 million views.
Hedonist is a deep cut on Jinjer’s latest album Duél, which came out in February via Napalm Records. Reviewing the album for Metal Hammer, journalist Dannii Leivers awarded it four stars.
She wrote: “Jinjer’s monstrous groove-tech sound is instantly recognisable. But if [2021 album] Wallflowers saw them eschew the whirlwind chaos of their earlier albums – where progressive metal clashed impulsively with jazz, prog and metalcore for something more refined – Duél is a darker, less immediate beast.”
The new video precedes a stacked 2025-to-2026 touring schedule for Jinjer. The band will soon join Babymetal’s North American tour (which also features Indian nu metal trio Bloodywood as a support act), starting with the July 6 date at Saint Louis Music Park in St Louis, Missouri. They’ll stay on the tour until it wraps up on July 23.
Jinjer will return to North America in the autumn, supporting Trivium for a series of dates and being joined by UK up-and-comers Heriot.
The band will then headline an extensive run of their own across the UK and Europe from January to March. See their live plans for the European tour below.
