Jinjer-Duel-Album Review-Planetmosh

Up until a few hours ago, I thought that I knew all about extreme metal……wrong, as just one play of ‘Duel’, recently released fifth album from Ukraine based noisemongers Jinjer, turned all that I had in my head upside down from charismatic Tatiana Shmayluk’s vocals that combine brutal growls and and epic clean vocals, via Napalm Records. The Ukranian sensations innovate with their unrivalled, fifth modern metal masterpiece that is Duel, as charasmatic vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk’s vocals combine brutal growls and epic, clean vocals.

Album opener ‘Tantrum’ kicks down the doors to show the real deal vibe of ferocious, inhuman warp speed death metal, turning briefly around on a screeched vocal before heading back on a full on drum assault.

‘Hedonist’ is a sky blackened doom laden dirge, sharing the vocals that have you wanting even more extremity, closing on blast beat prowess.

‘Rogue’ is a dust storm of download dirge to test the metal mettle of your speakers from a full on drum assault, getting more demented midway, giving the listener a journey into the eye of the storm.

‘Tumbleweed’ is a romper stomper, taking charge to crash and burn on bass barage and a suffocating vibe.

‘Green Serpent’ has an intro of an edgy lead vocal, belligerent bass battery once more, closing on an inventive drum masterclass.

‘Kafka’ has prowess to forge the way, exploding halfway through with armageddon strength prowess to wind itself around four minutes of sublime grooves picking up pace for a guitar heavy outro.

‘Dark Bile’ sees all Hell break loose, bringing home some glorious grindcore to scramble your brain.

‘Fast Draw’ shoots from the hip on more wrist snapping snare flurries, doom majesty and a lungbusting lead vocal.

‘Someone’s Daughter’ warrants more grindcore to shake your foundations to the core.

‘A Tongue So Sly’ dishes out a devilish drone, throwing the listener into the eye of the storm unrelentingly on another drum overload to keep the intensity levels high.

‘Duel’, heaviest track is saved for what’s left of our senses, fires out buzzsaw riffed guitar. One for the headbangers to lose their minds to. Job done! What an album!
