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. 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. “Green Serpent” has premiered alongside a blistering official music video and is now available on all streaming services worldwide.

While Jinjer’s previous album, “Wallflowers,” was slightly more alluring and contained noticeably more clean vocals, “Duél“ now takes on a much more aggressive tone. This is proven by songs like “Rogue,” “Green Serpent” and “Dark Bile,” with their brutal and hefty breakdowns. Fans of super-talented vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk’s clear vocals also get their moments, as tracks such as the opener “Tantrum” show the potential of the frontwoman’s outstanding vocal prowess. “Duél” presents itself way more cruelly – and Jinjer is more vicious than ever before. “Fast Draw” is a wild death metal beast with grooving drums from Vlad Ulasevich, Roman Ibramkhalilov’s one-of-a-kind riffs and Eugene Abdukhanov’s trademark bass wizardry – showing what this band does best: brilliant state-of the-art modern metal.
On “Duél,” Jinjer continues their long-lasting collaboration with accomplished producer Max Morton, who co-produced, mixed, and mastered the album. This new masterwork lives up to Jinjer’s reputation as metal visionaries, once more showing that the band refuses to follow any set rules in their genre, but choose their own path of creativity.
Eugene Abdukhanov, Jinjer bassist on 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. This 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.”
