While we can only look on in horror at the war in Ukraine, many others from the world of metal, music and the arts are literally living through it. One of Ukraine’s finest musical exports of recent times has been Jinjer. The prog metal quartet have just announced some new merch, in the blue and yellow colours of Ukraine – all proceeds of which are of course going to charities supporting their stricken homeland.
Bass player Eugene Abdukhanov says: “Thank you all for your concerned messages and prayers sent to us over the last week, we may not answer but we are reading them and they mean the world to us. As you know, there is war raging through the streets and cities of Ukraine right now. Many people have little or no food or water and are very afraid of what tomorrow may bring.
“Together with Napalm Records, we’re releasing two new tshirt designs to raise funds to be donated to various charities throughout Ukraine to help with medical and food supplies, water and so on. If you cannot donate then please share this or any news related to what’s really happening here. Each sale may save somebody’s life in Ukraine. Thank you.”

Due to the ongoing war in the Ukraine, Jinjer have been forced to cancel all North American tour dates, including their own headline dates, side shows with In This Moment and participation on the Knotfest Roadshow supporting Slipknot.
