Following the massive news of JINJER’s upcoming European Duél Tour in early 2026, Ukraine’s modern metal juggernauts have revealed two very special guests joining them on this highly anticipated run. Progressive powerhouses Unprocessed and legendary Dutch innovators Textures will round out one of the most exciting lineups the genre has seen in years.

Armed with their most dynamic album to date, DuélJINJER are set to return to European stages for the first time in over six years. Known for their fearless blend of technical groove, progressive elements, and raw emotion, the band has grown from Ukraine’s underground to global recognition, with over 250 million streams and views worldwide. After years of dominating festivals and tours alongside Slipknot, Sepultura, BABYMETAL, and soon Trivium, JINJER are ready to bring Duél to life in their most ambitious headline run yet.

Eugene Abdukhanov (JINJER) shared:
“We first shared a stage with Unprocessed back in 2017 and they immediately caught our attention. Not just for their musical talent or determination to carve their own path with unique music, but also for being genuinely great guys. Textures have been a huge source of inspiration for us since the very beginning of JINJER. I still remember those early tours, 13 or 14 years ago, driving our little van with the Silhouettes record on repeat. They left a mark on me personally, on our band musically, and their reunion is a big win for the entire progressive metal scene. Having Unprocessed and Textures with us on this tour is incredibly special, and I cannot wait to share the stage with them every night.”

Unprocessed have firmly established themselves as one of progressive metal’s most forward-thinking forces, thanks to records like Artificial Void and Gold and their genre-defying 2020 Polyphia collaboration Real. Their latest single “Solara” features Zelli of Paleface Swiss.

Textures remain one of Europe’s most influential progressive metal bands. From their groundbreaking debut Polars to classics like Silhouettes and Phenotype, they helped shape modern prog and mathcore. Now the Dutch innovators are back with their 2025 comeback single “Closer to the Unknown”.

With this lineup, the 2026 European Duél Tour is shaping up to be one of the most exciting tours of the year. Tickets are on sale now and moving fast. Do not miss your chance to witness JINJER at the height of their power alongside Unprocessed and Textures for an unforgettable night of progressive metal history in the making.

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.”
