New Zealand mom names her kids Metallica, Pantera, and Slayer
Filmmaker David Farrier introduced us to the woman and her power trio on his Twitter account
A woman in New Zealand, refusing to bring another Mackenzie or Jack into the world, has named her three kids “Metallica,” “Pantera,” and “Slayer.” This information comes courtesy of filmmaker David Farrier, whose work exploring the often strange minutia of everyday life in documentaries like Dark Tourist and Tickled (or articles about Instagram’s “hotel bed jumping community”) has continued in a newsletter that recently introduced us to the power trio.
Over on his Twitter, Farrier introduces the story by writing that he’s “proud to report” the news of these Kiwi thrash monsters. The mom in question, pictured in one tweet wielding a crossbow, said in an interview that “it’s not easy raising three of the heaviest bands,” but she is otherwise unidentified (probably to safeguard the anonymity of children named… Metallica, Pantera, and Slayer).
