JINJER · Cloud Factory | BLACK LP

Black vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

Background information about 'Cloud Factory'

With their second album "Cloud Factory" the Ukrainian Jinjer gained world-wide fame, and this limited glow-in-the-dark vinyl reissue captures exactly why this record became such a milestone in progressive metalcore.This is extremely groovy, disharmonic Djent - technically tricky like progressive Death Metal with a flip side of sensual jazz, tumbling delightfully between Nu Metal and Metalcore. It wouldn't be possible without the well-rounded Tatiana Shmailyuk. Whether it's her gnarly gurgling growls or the goose-bump raising clean singing: Shmailyuk's talent is effortless.Tatiana's vocals are insane, from the gender defying growls that you wouldn't think could come from a petite 5' female to the smooth bluesy vocal tones on the Tool-esque Black Water, switching between devastating brutality and haunting melodies with frightening ease.Smooth grooving bass playing goes hand in hand with consistently popping guitar acrobatics.The musicianship is tight, as well. Playing with time signatures seems to be a hallmark of the band, even back then.Tracks like "Outlander" and "When Two Empires Collide" showcase the band's ability to blend crushing heaviness with intricate technical passages, while "Cloud Factory" itself demonstrates their knack for atmospheric builds that explode into devastating breakdowns.Now here's the reissue of their milestone - full sound, fat guitars and huge boom factor!This isn't just metal; it's a complex sonic architecture that rewards repeated listening.

For fans of:
Arch Enemy, Gojira, Spiritbox, Tool, Meshuggah, and Infected Rain
