Label : Napalm Records
Release : 7-2-2025
Leading modern metal giants JINJER return with their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Duél, set for release on February 7, 2025 via Napalm Records! Known for their unique progressive groove metal sound that is impossible to copy and goes against everything in the heavy metal rulebook, Ukrainian artists JINJER have cemented their position in the global metal scene through tireless touring and the extreme success of their previous albums, including 2021’s chart-topping studio album Wallflowers. Praised by fans and critics alike, JINJER have amassed tens of millions of cross-platform streams on their biggest hits, such as fan-favorite “Pisces,” and have managed to create an entirely unique sound that both followers and metal elite could describe as musical perfection. Numerous sold-out headline shows and performances in front of massive audiences at leading festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Download UK serve as further proof of JINJER’s dedicated, ever-growing fanbase. Previously sharing the stage with the likes of Arch Enemy and Cradle Of Filth, recent additions to JINJER’s intense live schedule include supporting the legendary Sepultura on their farewell world tour.
The new album showcases the very best of JINJER’s versatile, extreme soundscapes and offers an immersive listening experience. Nothing less than the highest level of musicianship is expected from modern metal’s frontrunners, and track after track JINJER expertly delivers fierce attitude and emotion. The extraordinary vocal performance of charismatic singer Tatiana Shmayluk combines brutal growls and epic cleans, floating atop chugging riffs, intricate drum patterns, aggressive guitars and Eugene Abdukhanov’s signature bass wizardry. Duél sees JINJER continue their long-standing collaboration with gifted producer Max Morton, who co-produced, mixed and mastered the album. This new masterpiece lives up to JINJER’s reputation as a metal visionary and shows once again that the band refuses to adhere to fixed rules in their genre, but chooses their own path of creativity.
