![]() JINJER, SUICIDE SILENCE & ALL HAIL THE YETI In Cleveland, OH With Photos! ![]() By Geoff Ketler, Cleveland Contributor Sunday, November 28, 2021 @ 10:43 AM ![]()
Having covered their first two tours of the US, going for the hat trick was a no-brainer. Fun fact: the Ukraine’s most recognized exports are grain, steel and sunflower oil – now we can add JINJER; the fastest up-and-coming metal band in years to that list. The quartet has surged up the bills and drawn attention from across the world, ultimately leading to this headline North American tour that has taken the band from coast to coast, supporting the group’s latest effort, Wallflowers.
Setting the tone and taking the stage first was the LA product, ALL HAIL THE YETI. Like spinning yarns around a campfire, the band cranked the dark, mysterious and twisted factor up to eleven. This wasn’t my first Yeti encounter and much like my first sighting, ALL HAIL THE YETI did not disappoint. The contrast between vocalist Connor Garrity’s guttural screams and bassist Nicholas Diltz’s clean and somber backing vocals really sets the group apart. The near-capacity crowd at the House of Blues was treated to samplings from across the band’s history included the fresh single “Headless Valley” from their recently released EP.
Everything came to a head during “No Pity For A Coward” when guitarist Chris Garza leapt from the riser behind the group’s backline and landed on top of and into the drum kit; knocking over cymbals and bringing the raucous set to a fitting end.
After two grueling club tours, this was like seeing your child take his or her first steps. I was in awe. Having come so far in the States in such a short period of time is a tough nut to crack but here I was and the joint was buzzing. Although drummer Vladislav Ulasevich was perched upon a modest riser, it was only to make room for the massive visual package that was erected behind him. Three large LED screens gave ambiance and supplied plenty of spice to an already off-the-chart lighting package. At the helm, with the audience in the palm of her hand, was vocalist Tatiana Shmailyuk. The entire room hung on to every note of her heavenly singing voice with bated breath. They then belted the unimaginable lows and growls along with her with deafening confidence.
