Sunday, March 25, 1984. Shermer High School, Shermer, Illinois, 60062. 8:04pm.
Everyone heeded Bender's invitation. It was 8pm at night and completely dark, but that was the point. Their other detention buddies, Claire, Andy and Brian all came over. Bender lock-picked his way through the school and into the music room.
"Guys, you are about to see a real heavy metal vomit party take place.", Bender announces.
Claire smiles. "I get it."
They walk into the music room. Bender sets up a tape recorder and one microphone. He would sing into the microphone while also catching Allison's drums and his guitar.
Bender begins by strumming a quiet variation of the D chord he made up. He tuned his low E to a low D but left the other strings intact. The strumming gets louder, and Bender begins his vocals. "No dad, what about you? Fuck you! No dad, what about you? FUCK YOU! NO DAD, WHAT ABOUT YOU? FUCK YOU!".
All of a sudden, Allison suddenly becomes an explosive machine, blast beats up to 350bpm while Bender screams incomprehensibly into the microphone. "FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU!". The thing is mind-blowing.
Andy, Claire and Brian block their ears hard. The sound was like five jet engines in your face at once. It measured at 200db pressing your ear against the PA speaker. The song ran for a minute and a half. Bender pulls an epic harmonic near the end.
As Allison does the finishing hit, the three others stand in shock. "My ears...I think they're permanently damaged..." Claire frets.
Allison and Bender smirk at each other. They've unleashed grindcore on their own high school.
