In the intimacy of a trio format, Grandma’s Ashes paints a portrait of everyday Paris life overshadowed by violence and insensitivity. Purged through the raw energy of live rock, the three young women connect with their audience through an explosive show that challenges perceptions, embracing their own identity as alternative goth rock. In 2021 and 2023, they released an EP and then a debut album, where powerful riffs intertwine with a crystalline voice to deliver the ambivalent emotions of an intimate journey.
The Fates, their first EP infused with progressive and stoner influences, already revealed their eagerness to conquer the stage. Their love of heaviness was confirmed with This Too Shall Pass, their debut album warmly welcomed by the specialized press and performed in hundreds of venues across France, and major festivals such as Hellfest, Motocultor, and Les Francofolies, as well as clubs in Spain. Their universe, steeped in mythological and artistic references, has come to life in carefully crafted artwork and narrative-driven music videos. The poetry of their lyrics also carries the feminist and eco-anxious voice of a generation plagued by doubt, raising the alarm on the rapid decline of both our rights and our environment.
In 2025, Grandma’s Ashes are set to keep explore their thirst of experimentation and freedom with their second album, Bruxism, to be released on label Verycords on October 24, 2025. The record unveils compositions rooted in new wave and grunge, fueled by the stage and by a need to push their fierce, engaged message ever further.
Cold Sun Again is the second single from their upcoming album Bruxism, out October 24 on Verycords. The track is a metaphor for chronic depression. It reflects the apathy that arises from the loss of pleasant and comforting sensations, even in the summer. “We wanted to capture the contrast between an environment conducive to joy and well-being, and a state of mind haunted by a recurring negative presence,” the band explains. Depression is personified as an old friend, knocking at the door, welcomed in because it visits so often, yet always without warning. “We evoke an almost benevolent weariness toward this ‘entity’ we continue to live and move forward with, one that comes and goes freely through our daily lives,” adds the trio. The video, once again directed by the talented Julien Metternich, perfectly illustrates this metaphor.
