Jinjer have announced that they have been granted permission to leave their native Ukraine by The Ukrainian Ministry Of Culture this month. They will embark on that trek to help raise awareness for their country and its people amid Russia’s ongoing invasion of it.
Speaking of the matter, the band’s bassist Eugene Abdukhanov offered:
“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!”
Earlier this year, the outfit released a benefit shirt that generated over $140,000 for relief efforts in the Ukraine. The group also cancelled their appearance on a spring North American tour with Slipknot & In This Moment in order to focus on relief efforts in their country.
Outside of the touring front, the band have newly debuted a music video for their song “Call Me A Symbol” online below. Abdukhanov stated of it:
“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.”
