JINJER drops new anthem ‘Someone's Daughter’

The Ukrainian band’s battle anthem, "Someone's Daughter," sets the stage for their upcoming U.S. tour.

Ukrainian prog-metal band JINJER has just released a surprise single, "Someone's Daughter," ahead of their U.S. tour. 

This new track may feature in their upcoming setlists, and it's described as a percussively punishing and spirit-empowering battle anthem.

The song highlights the band's signature sound with precise drum work, bassist Eugene Kostyuk's intricate fretwork, and Tatiana Shmayluk's powerful mix of melodic vocals and death growls. 

The accompanying music video features performance footage and CGI landscapes, with Shmayluk portraying iconic figures like Marie Curie and Cleopatra.

"´Someone’s Daughter´ is an artistic attempt to cast the light on the inner world of women, who in various scenarios and circumstances, have had to choose a path that was historically made by men," said Shmayluk in a statement. 

"In a world where women are often underestimated and overlooked, they are still powerful heroes who navigate hardship with strength and resilience, unapologetically becoming themselves and breaking barriers in the face of the challenges that face them. 

'Someone’s Daughter' celebrates transitions from naivety into wisdom, weakness into force, unwavering determination, and fearlessness as our mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives walk through adversity and fight for better change. These women are often forgotten but they have earned respect. They‘ve earned mine, that's for sure!"

It remains uncertain whether "Someone's Daughter" is a standalone single or part of a larger project, although a press release mentions that the song and video are “just a tease of what’s to come very soon.”

JINJER is set to tour with Japanese pop-metal band HANABIE this fall, starting their series of shows on September 20th at Sayreville, New Jersey’s Starland Ballroom.
