Grindmother released her debut album, Age of Destruction,[6][7] in April 2016 which featured guitar by her son, Rain Forest, and drums by Tyson Apex. A live guitarist has been added to the band, with Forest handling live bass duties.[8]
She has been reported on extensively by both underground metal and mainstream media.[9][10][11] Vice Japan called her "a super idol of Vice".[12]
On July 26 of the same year, Grindmother released a cover of Sepultura's "Slave New World" via Decibel.[13] Sepultura noted the cover on their Facebook page saying, "Yesterday, in Brazil, we celebrated the Grandparents Day and look what we've found: a Slave New World version sung by a grandmother of 67 years old! She's from a grindcore band called The Grindmother. You can read a little bit more about The Grindmother in a article published by Decibel Magazine."
Grindmother has played live with her band 28 times so far, with dates in Germany, Japan, Canada and the US.
