Tatiana Shmailyuk, of the metal band Jinjer, reveals a fascinating artistic journey powered by the melodic and dark essences of Opeth. This transformative experience takes us from canvas to dreams, showcasing the profound influence of music on art.

There’s a mystical synergy between the realms of music and art, where melodies can color canvases and rhythms can shape the stroke of a brush. For Tatiana Shmailyuk, the lead vocalist of Ukrainian metal band Jinjer, it was the hauntingly beautiful progressive metal from Opeth that stirred her artistic evolution.

Like a crescendo in a symphony, her discovery of Opeth at the tender age of 16 marked a turning point, leading her into a vast new world of progressive metal. Yet, despite the profound impact, there’s a hesitation – a trepidation about meeting the maestro behind the music, Mikael Åkerfeldt. There’s respect and perhaps a fear that the magic of the music might dissipate upon crossing from the fan to the personal. But for Shmailyuk, the music continues to be a lullaby for creativity, lulling her to sleep with the notes of Sorceress, and sparking inspiration with visions of Damnation.
