In support of their masterful latest full-length album "Macro", Ukrainian progressive groove metal frontrunners JINJER have just announced their next headline tour of North America. The trek, dubbed the "Tour Of Consciousness", will present an exciting lineup — featuring support from metal mainstays SUICIDE SILENCE and emerging heavy hitters TOOTHGRINDER. The tour will begin on April 23 in San Francisco, California and will come to an end in Denver, Colorado on May 23. Additionally, the tour will include stops at massive festivals such as Sonic Temple and Epicenter. Tickets will go on sale to the public this coming Friday, December 6 at 10:00 a.m. local time via all individual venues. Pre-sales for Citi members are available today, and pre-sales via Ticketmaster, Live Nation and local venues will be available tomorrow, December 4, beginning at 10:00 a.m. local time.

Our last tour of North America was real fire and now we're coming back to give you even more! More new songs, better sound and stages, and louder shows! On top of everything, we are proud to have our friends from SUICIDE SILENCE and TOOTHGRINDER on board for the whole run. It will be fantastic."

Punishing riffs, aggressively blended vocals and astonishingly deep lyrics make "Macro" JINJER's most advanced and undeniable album yet — taking the listener on a journey of trauma, power struggle and greed with a progressive groove metal backdrop. While January 2019's "Micro" EP proved to be a short exercise in madness and technical brilliance, fans still weren't prepared for what JINJER had in store with the absolutely unbridled "Macro". Defying all boundaries, the aptly titled opening track "On The Top" features the band's eclectic trademarks and obeys one law only — their own. Frontwoman Tatiana Shmaylyuk defines the unique character of the Ukrainian act with menacing whispers, enthralling clean vocals and brutal growls whilst lethally groovy riff cascades melt into twisted songwriting. There is space for a microscopic bit of reggae "Judgement (& Punishment)" in all the heaviness, the double bass is beautifully out of control on "Pausing Death", and technically superior tracks like "Home Back" defy gravity.
