Underrated Metal Band: Jinjer

Some bands deserve some recognition.

Underrated Metal Band: Jinjer

I like to go surfing through metal bands on YouTube once in a while. It helps when I'm looking for something different and something I haven't heard before. That being said, I was startled when I discovered Ukranian metal band Jinjer — a band that's been around since 2009. What startled me wasn't just the fact that I had never heard of Jinjer before, but the little amount of exposure they were getting for how good they are. 

Here's the song I dug up on Youtube. I was hooked the moment it started.

Not only can this band pull its weight, but they have successfully blended a mosh pit of metal subgenres into one loud, thrashing song. Frontwoman Tatiana Shmaiyuk produces guttural growls and melodic vocals, reaching every end of the vocal spectrum. She's up there with Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy and Chris Fronzak of Attila. While that's a pretty dynamic comparison to make, I will stand by it. Shmaiyuk has undeniable talent and prowess.

She can hold her own live, too. That's not something a lot of musicians can attest to, as sometimes metal vocalists utilize distortions on recordings to make their screaming sound heavier.

Jinjer brings the energy. And while they are being recognized, many of their music videos haven't even reached half a million views. It's better than some, but it's also incredibly disappointing, as they deserve much more attention than that. Views aren't always something bands can manage, as they are at the behest of public opinion and exposure, but it is still shocking nonetheless that Jinjer has such a small amount of it.

Here's one more video if you're not hooked yet.

You can learn more about the band from their official website, Facebook page and, most importantly, by looking up more of their music.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
