Jinjer

I´m not that fond on most of what´s called "Modern Metal" , but this Prog Band really surprised me a Lot . Self Classified as Progressive Groove Metal , actually their music has a lot of other elements , but it´s something I´ve been REALLY enjoying a lot lately .

Screw that band, can't stand them.

Jinjer is awesome , I Think .

I like what I have heard thou they seem to be really pushing the lead vocalist, seems she is getting a lot of mileage out of her clean singing then going full out death metal roar.

Meh, not my thing.

Ugh... I have a friend who enjoys them. Though metal has had its fair share of cliches over the decades, I find this type of vocal approach from females to be the most tired/boring and I'm beyond turned off by it. Talk about pigeonholing yourself. I'm not a big fan of the guitar tone, but I could probably get around that without the goofball vocal approach. The only thing that is a bit more cliched in metal, is the switch back and forth between a male vocalist with clean vocals and a female vocalist with the guttural approach. I just saw "Witch Mountain" recently and I was bored to death. I happened to be at the Cincinnati show with Corrosion of Conformity, The Skull, Mothership and Witch Mountain, when Kayla Dixon the lead singer walked withing a few inches of me. My greatest fear would have been her asking me, "What did you think of the show?"

I dig them and they can also write great lyrics ...
