Jinjer reigns as one of the most exciting and promising acts in the current scene! After releasing their chart-topping studio album, “Wallflowers,” in 2021, which was hailed as “… one of the finest – and most important – metal releases of 2021” by Kerrang! (UK) as well as “a progressive masterpiece” by New Noise Magazine (US), the four-piece entered stages at Europe’s biggest festivals, such as Wacken, Download, and Rock am Ring, just to name a few.
With the announcement of their upcoming record “Duél,” to be released on February 7, 2025, via Napalm Records, Jinjer justifies their reputation and delivers an eleven-track offering loaded with technical grooves, heavy progressive passages, and brutal vocals destined to drop jaws.
Out today, Jinjer’s new single, “Green Serpent”, is prime preparation for the band’s new full-length. The song begins with thick grooves and calm, clear vocals by matchless vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk, before transforming into a furious steamroller shortly after. Once more, Jinjer nails their balance of various influences, defying all rules and setting their own path. Watch the music video below.

Jinjer bassist Eugene Abdukhanov, previously explained about the new album: “First of all, it‘s hard to believe that we’re about to release our fifth full-length album! After all the releases we’ve made, finally having ‘Duél’ in our hands and ready to be shared with the world, makes us very proud that our band still hasn’t run out of creativity and inspiration. The fact that we still challenge ourselves to release the best music we have ever made with each new release, is what keeps Jinjer moving forward.“
“his upcoming album was the longest songwriting process we’ve ever had and it took almost two years to complete. We worked very hard with every free minute we weren’t on tour, recording demos over and over again and always searching for the perfect sound for guitars, bass, and drums. It was also the first time that Tatiana did vocal pre-productions, so it’s safe to say that none of our releases were so well thought out and calculated as this one. It pulverizes the boundaries of the modern progressive metal genre but still remains sophisticated, exciting, and extreme all at the same time. We took up the challenge to expand our musical horizons even wider than before in order to cement ‘Duél’ to be the next step in Jinjer‘s musical growth and hopefully the evolution of metal music in general.”
