This week, Ukraine’s metal powerhouse Jinjer announced their first official live DVD/BluRay, Live in Los Angeles, scheduled for release via Napalm Records on May 17, 2024.
Recorded and shot on December 22nd, 2022, at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, the release is intended to celebrate not only the band getting through the last few years in one piece but also the band’s 15-year career. Over that time the band have cultivated a fiercely loyal, fanbase and have entertained audiences of millions of people at some of the biggest festivals around the globe including Hellfest, Rock am Ring, Graspop Metal Meeting, Download Festival and Rocklahoma USA.
Alongside the announcement of the live DVD, the band has dropped a live video for ‘Call Me A Symbol‘, a track from 2021’s Wallflowers.
The band have commented on the release – “Our sold-out Los Angeles show at the end of our 2022 tour was the perfect time and place to do something special – something like a long-awaited DVD/live album by JINJER! The totally packed, legendary venue, the crazy West Coast vibes, and most importantly, the band delivering it with full force after being on tour for 6 months around the globe – from Europe to Australia and back to the USA – made this an extra special night. For the fans who joined us that night at The Wiltern, it was an unforgettable concert, but now every single JINJER supporter around the world can experience and enjoy an ideal set featuring our biggest hits from older albums as well as recent bangers. This is not just a DVD or a live album, but a celebration of the first 15 years of the JINJER story, right before we move on to the next chapter…”
Live in Los Angeles was apparently a spontaneous decision by the band, and the recording has been left “as raw as possible, to emphasize the passion that can come from a live show”.
The disc is an explosive mixture of the band’s stellar discography – featuring heavy hitters such as “Sit Stay Roll Over”, “Home Back” and the game-changing “Pisces” which propelled the band to new heights and put them on the map back in 2016. The live album contains 16 songs in various audio formats, with some strictly limited: the Deluxe Digipack features not only a DVD, but also two more songs, “Wallflower” & “Disclosure!”, recorded in Paris in 2023.
