Jinjer announce ‘Alive In Melbourne’ livestream

JINJER have announced a special livestream!

Set to premiere today via YouTube, the livestream will showcase the Ukrainian progressive metal band’s Alive In Melbourne concert on the day that their first live album of the same name is released.

Recorded on March 5th 2020 on the Australian leg of their highly successful Macro World Tour, the show was one of the last performances for the band, as well as the rest of the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking about the live release, bassist Eugene Abdukhanov says, “when this idea first came about, never could I imagine that it would grow into the project that it has become. First it was supposed to be a single video or maybe one or two more, then it was meant to be an online concert video for Knotfest.com …. and now, after six months of planning, reacting and fighting to get this little piece of heavy metal history out to our fans and friends: Alive In Melbourne is out! From picking the cover artist Gabriel Nicoletti, to writing the very intense and personal band history in the linear notes … this album was not only something that I felt that our fans deserved in these strange times but it also helped me get through some of my own darkest times during the first COVID-19 lockdown. This was a moment in time that none of us will forget anytime soon.”
