Ukrainian metal band Jinjer has released “Mediator,” the second single from its upcoming album “Wallflowers” (Aug. 27, 2021, Napalm Records), and its accompanying music video.
“With years getting older, we often realize that the world around us is far from what we expected it to be,” the band said. “Through the eyes of a kid everything seemed way more colorful, better and optimistic, didn’t it? When did it all turn wrong? When did it all turn so gray? Is this really the world’s fault? Or it is only about us chasing the wrong goals … the wrong careers, ambitions and achievements, rather than embracing one important truth … Rephrasing John Lennon, if one chases something else other than happiness, then they didn’t understand life at all …”

Bassist Eugene Abdukhanov said: “Growing creatively has always been a major goal for us. The day Jinjer stops reaching for new musical horizons will be our last day as a band. We could have churned out what our peers expected us to do or produce Pisces clones without end but we’ve never done that and we never will. Instead, we wrote an album whose level of emotions range from the fiercest aggression we’ve ever had, to the most intricate melodies and melancholic vibes you could ever get from our music. We decided to rip apart all possible stylistic boundaries without regard to financial success or competing with our previous albums. ‘Wallflowers’ is a different kind of album musically and visually. It’s about our identity as a band, as individuals and a clear statement that we are different from most artists … and that it is OK to do your own thing.”
