Only Heavy Metal

"Leading modern metal juggernauts JINJER return with their eagerly awaited fifth studio album, Duél, set to be released on February 7, 2025 via Napalm Records! Known for their unique progressive groove metal sound that is impossible to replicate and goes against everything written in the heavy metal rulebook, Ukraine’s JINJER have cemented their standing in the global metal scene through tireless touring and the extreme success of their previous albums, including the chart-storming 2021 studio album Wallflowers. Praised by both fans and critics, JINJER have gathered tens of millions cross-platform streams on their biggest hits, such as fan-favorite “Pisces”, and have managed to create an entirely unique sound that followers and metal elite alike could describe as musical perfection.
Many sold-out headline shows and performances for massive audiences at leading festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Download UK serve as further proof of JINJER’s dedicated, ever-growing fanbase. Having previously shared stage with the likes of Arch Enemy and Cradle Of Filth, recent additions to JINJER’s intense live schedule feature supporting the legendary Sepultura on their farewell world tour.
The new album showcases the very best of JINJER’s multifaceted, extreme soundscapes, providing a gripping listening experience. Nothing less than the highest level of musicianship is expected from the modern metal frontrunners, and track after track JINJER skillfully delivers fierce attitude and emotion. Charismatic vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk’s extraordinary vocal performance combines brutal growls and epic clean vocals, soaring atop chugging riffs, intricate drum patterns, aggressive guitars and Eugene Abdukhanov’s trademark bass wizardry.
On Duél, JINJER continue their long-lasting collaboration with accomplished producer Max Morton, who co-produced, mixed and mastered the album. This new masterwork lives up to JINJER’s reputation as metal visionaries, once more showing that the band refuses to follow any set rules in their genre, but choose their own path of creativity."
