Grindmother

Grindmother is a Canadian heavy metal singer[1][2] who is becoming famous for performing ear-shattering vocals at 67 years old.[3] The name Grindmother is a melding of the grindcore subgenre and her grandmother personae.

In April 2016, Grindmother released her debut album "Age of Destruction"[4][5] which features guitar by her son, Rain Forest, and drums by Tyson Apex.[6]

She has been reported on extensively by both underground metal and mainstream media.[7][8][9][10] Vice Japan caller her "a super idol of Vice".[11]

On July 26, Grindmother released a cover of Sepultura's Slave New World via Decibel (magazine).[12] A post made by Sepultura on their Facebook page read "Last night in Brazil we celebrated Grandparent's Day, and look what we discovered: this version of Slave New World sung by a 67-Year-old grandmother! She's got a project of heavy music called The Grindmother. Their story is so inspiring that was published in the Decibel Magazine."
