Jinjer release new music video for ‘Call Me A Symbol’

JINJER have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Call Me A Symbol, is taken from the Ukrainian progressive groove metal band’s latest album, Wallflowers, which was released in August last year.

The release of the new music video comes as JINJER are granted special exemption from the Ukrainian Ministry Of Culture to exit Ukraine (currently under invasion by Russia) to help their countrymen by performing across Europe in this year’s summer festival run to raise funds through their donation campaign.

Bassist Eugene Abdukhanov says, “we are very honored to announce that together with the help of the Ukrainian Ministry Of Culture, we have successfully been granted permission to travel abroad as ambassadors of our country to raise funds and awareness about the war raging back home. This is a huge honor for us as a band and as citizens. We will do our part to make sure that this war stops as soon as possible! Come support, dance and scream your hearts out for Ukraine!”

Speaking about the new music video, Abdukhanov adds, “I think this video for Call Me A Symbol will forever hold a special and unique place in our hearts as a band. Filmed on our short but awesome European Tour in 2021 tour that almost did not happen because of the pandemic, and now released at such a dark time in which our country has been invaded and there is war on the streets of our home. I really hope this video and this important time in history gives people a new perspective that there are always two sides to everything. Good and evil, just and unjust – cherish the good times and face the bad head on… but never ever give up.”
