A crossbow wielding New Zealand mother of three has named her children Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera. This metal mom remains unidentified but the validity of the story has been confirmed by New Zealand journalist and documentary filmmaker David Farrier. Farrier, who broke the story on his twitter, says he has seen the birth certificates and has confirmed with the New Zealand Registrar-General Jeff Montgomery who stated that there are no restrictions on naming children after bands or albums. Metallica’s middle name is And Justice for All after Metallica’s fourth album. Farrier says of the mother:
“She told me, ‘It’s not easy raising three of the heaviest bands.'”

thread 2/4: i become a bit suspicious when she also included @metallica‘s best album “…and justice for all” in her kid’s name too, but new zealand’s registrar-general seems to confirm it’s a real thing: pic.twitter.com/1jOy5AUWxT

thread 4/4: finally, i think it’s important to note (as you can see in the photo in my article) this mother is also a big fan of crossbows which are also truly metal and she deserves our complete and utter respect for this (and for raising three kids): https://t.co/kiXGTrr60A
