Jinjer Release Second Single ‘Mediator’ From Upcoming Album ‘Wallflowers’

---

Metal outfit Jinjer have released the second single from their upcoming long-awaited studio album, ‘Wallflowers’, out on 27th August via Napalm Records.

Continuing to demonstrate the band’s unique sonic vision, ‘Mediator’ gives is frenetic drumming combined with technically adept, fast-firing bass and guitar attacks, merging with the unmatched mix of Tatiana Shmayluk’s clear vocals, pungent rap-like passages and ferocious growling.

The new track has dropped alongside a music video which combines with the music to create a high-quality audiovisual bombardment that draws the viewer into the spell of the progressive spectacle and constructs the visual antithesis of the postmodern utopia thematised within the track.

“With years getting older, we often realise that the world around us is far from what we expected it to be.” Jinjer states, “Through the eyes of a kid everything seemed way more colourful, better and optimistic, didn’t it? When did it all turn wrong? When did it all turn so gray? Is this really the world’s fault? Or it is only about us chasing the wrong goals… the wrong careers, ambitions and achievements, rather than embracing one important truth… Rephrasing John Lennon, if one chases something else other than happiness, then they didn’t understand life at all…”

Talking about the continued strides to grow creatively, Bassist Eugene Abdukhanov comments “Growing creatively has always been a major goal for us. The day Jinjer stops reaching for new musical horizons – will be our last day as a band. We could have churned out what our peers expected us to do or produce ‘Pisces’ clones without end but we’ve never done that and we never will.”

“Instead, we wrote an album whose level of emotions range from the fiercest aggression we’ve ever had, to the most intricate melodies and melancholic vibes you could ever get from our music. We decided to rip apart all possible stylistic boundaries without regard to financial success or competing with our previous albums. Wallflowers is a different kind of album musically and visually. It’s about our identity as a band, as individuals and a clear statement that we are different from most artists … and that it is OK to do your own thing.”
