by I stumbled upon this hard-as-hell Ukranian metal band, Jinjer, not too long ago, in fact, it was only a couple of months ago. Needless to say, I loved it. But it wasn’t love at first sight. Actually, I wasn’t that impressed by the track and video for “Sit Stay Roll Over.” Honestly, it seemed a bit like a hipster band putting a pretty girl on the mic.
But, after checking out a few more videos and subsequently being convinced that they are the real deal, I gave “Sit Stay Roll Over” another play or two and found it to be actually pretty damn good, even noticed some influence from the likes of Faith No More and Korn, if you prefer.
Anyway, all of that is neither here nor there… but with the recent release of Jinjer’s latest video, “Words of Wisdom,” and the premiere webisode of the same name, I have an excuse to bring news of this band and their upcoming new album, King of Everything, to you. Watch the music video in the player above, and the webisode just below:
