10+10 Fishers Against the Wind. 7) The Grindmother — Age of Destruction
To get back to the theme of "music in the family," here’s Grindmother!
If your son is a good guy who visits you regularly and has even given you some grandchildren, and has never caused you much worry, even though he makes a living as a guitarist in an extreme metal band up in Canada—the Corrupt Leaders—and calls himself "Rain Forest" (instead of that lovely name you gave him), the least you can do is take an interest in his work and encourage him as best you can.
So when the little guy, half serious and half joking, asks our sprightly grandma to record some screams on one of their songs ("Any Cost," a fierce political invective), she doesn’t think twice and goes along with it.
The result is a blast!
The track rocks, getting tons of views on metal sites. Even "Madman" Ozzy Osborne gets shaken up!
So Rain doesn't miss the opportunity: he takes the drummer from his group and forms Grindmother (notice the tasty pun "grandmother"/"grindmother").
They release their first album "Age of Destruction" and a flexy attached to a metal magazine with a cover of "Slave New World" that the Sepultura themselves (who happen to hear it on Grandparents’ Day!!) find excellent.
Anyway, grandma—at over seventy years old—is out there performing concerts and her album is in stores.
By the way, the lovely Ms. Grindmother—public sector retiree and gardening enthusiast—had never listened to metal music....
