Jinjer announce new album Duél

Ukrainian metallers Jinjer have announced details of their fifth studio album, Duél.

The follow-up to 2021's Wallflowers will be released on February 7, 2025, via Napalm Records.

To mark the announcement, Jinjer have dropped a video for new single Kafka, the third track to be released from the LP after Someone's Daughter and Rogue earlier this year.

Speaking about Kafka, vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk says, “Being an artist is sometimes beautiful but most of the time it’s brutal… as our art is dissected word for word and ripped apart note by note, we‘re expected to be on point all-the-time – and when we aren’t, we are scandalised.

“A true artist is vulnerable but the crowd is most often plagued with vultures who pick at every single move you make. It’s a slippery slope when music means the world to us, but how quickly praise turns into prosecution. We are all kings and queens for a day, but most of the time it feels like a Kafka novel for a lifetime. It‘s exciting but surreal and absurd at the same time.”
