One of modern metal’s most talked-about artists, Ukrainian progressive groove metal icons JINJER, recently unleashed their highly acclaimed new full-length album, Duél, via Napalm Records. Composed of career-defining tracks dubbed as “punishing” and “empowering” (Revolver) and continuing to prove themselves as “heavy music practitioners in their prime” (Knotfest), the album achieved top marks, topping previous successes.
The gains don’t stop there – today, JINJER advance their highly-anticipated return to North American venues, announcing tour dates with headliners BABYMETAL! The band will support the second half of BABYMETAL’s 2025 headline run, which will feature Bloodywood as additional support. JINJER will join the tour as special guests on July 5 in Milwaukee, WI and will perform in several key cities like Chicago, IL, Vancouver, BC San Francisco, CA and Las Vegas, NV, wrapping on July 23 in Phoenix, AZ.
Citi and artist presales begin later today, with various additional early presales beginning tomorrow and throughout the week. General on-sale begins this Friday, March 21 at 10:00am local time. Visit jinjer-metal.com/tour for more details!

For Duél – which features multiple music videos topping well over three million combined views to date and broke into the charts at #2 US Hard Music Albums, #6 US Current Rock Albums, #2 CAN Hard Music Albums, #3 France Metal, #7 UK Rock & Metal and beyond – the band once again collaborated with accomplished producer Max Morton, who co-produced, mixed and mastered the album. This new masterwork lives up to JINJER’s reputation as metal visionaries, proving that they defy barriers of influence while charging a path entirely of their own making. This is proven with songs like “Rogue”, “Green Serpent” and “Dark Bile”, conjuring astonishing heaviness unlike ever before. Followers of world-class screamer and multifaceted singer Tatiana Shmayluk will revel in her display of unrelenting power and gripping emotional delivery as early as album opener “Tantrum” , while cruel stunners like “Fast Draw” and “Duél” showcase the acclaimed technical craftwork of drummer Vlad Ulasevich, guitarist Roman Ibramkhalilov and bassist Eugene Abdukhanov.
