JINJER announces European Duél tour 2026
03-06-2025
Ukrainian metal band JINJER are set to return to headline stages across Europe for the first time in over six years. Kicking off on January 23, 2026, in Cologne, Germany, the tour will span 17 major cities, marking a triumphant new chapter for the band.
Armed with their most dynamic and ambitious album to date, Duél, JINJER are ready to unleash their trademark blend of technical precision, crushing heaviness, and emotional intensity on fans across the continent. Following years of global festival appearances and extensive touring, this tour is more than just a series of shows – it’s a full-circle moment that fans have been eagerly awaiting since the band’s last European headline run in 2019.
Renowned for their genre-defying sound and electrifying performances, JINJER continues to rise as one of the most dynamic forces in today’s metal landscape. The band spent 2024 on the road with Sepultura as part of the iconic group’s farewell world tour, and 2025 has already seen them bring their ferocity to stages across Asia and Australia. This summer, JINJER will storm North America as direct support for Babymetal, with additional high-profile festival appearances set for Download UK, Graspop Metal Meeting, and more.

Last month JINJER released the official music video for “Fast Draw”, a track from their latest album, “Duél”. The video is featuring live footage from JINJER‘s recent European tours alongside metal legends SEPULTURA. “Duél” came out on February 7, 2025 via Napalm Records.
Watch “Fast Draw” below.
Eugene Abdukhanov, JINJER bassist on the new album:
“First of all, it‘s hard to believe that we’re about to release our fifth full length album! After all the releases we’ve made, finally having Duél in our hands and ready to be shared with the world, makes us very proud that our band still hasn’t run out of creativity and inspiration. The fact that we still challenge ourselves to release the best music we have ever made with each new release, is what keeps JINJER moving forward. This upcoming album was the longest songwriting process we’ve ever had and it took almost two years to complete. We worked very hard with every free minute we weren’t on tour, recording demos over and over again and always searching for the perfect sound for guitars, bass and drums. It was also the first time that Tatiana did vocal pre-productions, so it’s safe to say that none of our releases were so well thought out and calculated as this one. It pulverizes the boundaries of the modern progressive metal genre but still remains sophisticated, exciting and extreme all at the same time. We took up the challenge to expand our musical horizons even wider than before in order to cement Duél to be the next step in JINJER‘s musical growth and hopefully the evolution of metal music in general.”
Watch the previously released “Duél”, “Green Serpent”, “Rogue”, “Kafka” and ‘Someone’s Daughter’ below.
JINJER released its first official live DVD/Blu-ray, “Live In Los Angeles”, on May 17 via Napalm Records. Recorded and filmed on December 22, 2022 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, this offering is intended to celebrate not only getting through the last few years in one piece, but also the band’s 15-year career.
“Live In Los Angeles” was a spontaneous decision by the band, recorded as raw as possible, to emphasize the passion that can come from a live show. This release is an explosive mixture of JINJER‘s discography — featuring fan favorites like “Sit Stay Roll Over”, “Home Back” and the game-changing “Pisces”. 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” and “Disclosure!”, recorded in Paris in 2023.
JINJER is:
Tatiana Shmayluk – Vocals
Roman Ibramkhalilov – Guitars
Eugene Abdukhanov – Bass
Vlad Ulasevich – Drums
