"Laugh at death": 96-year-old metalhead gives heat
96-year-old Inge Ginsberg, worked as a special services agent, survived the Holocaust, wrote poetry and music for pop stars, and now sings in the style of death-metal and challenges an old woman with a scythe.
Inge Ginsberg was born and raised in Vienna, in a wealthy Jewish family. Her happy childhood ended when Austria became part of Germany in 1938, and the Nazis came to power. Inga's family suffered a lot of hardships, but they managed to survive the Holocaust. In 1944, the girl began working for the US intelligence service and collecting information about German troops in northern Italy.
After the war, Inga moved to the States and began writing music and songs for such stars as jazz singer Nat King Cole, actress and singer Doris Day, Frank Sinatra's colleague and friend Dean Martin.
Over time, Inge stopped writing music for the stage, but still composed poetry.
An active pensioner learned about what hard rock is after eighty. Her friend from Portugal, guitarist Pedro da Silva, got acquainted with Inge's poems and decided that they were simply created for the death metal style.
Soon the TritoneKings group appeared.
The poet and singer says: "Life is a lonely road. All my friends and relatives have already died, and no one cares what you want to say. People don't need the truth at all."
"But you definitely need to do what makes you happy. Someone drinks, someone eats to the brim, and I'm writing poetry. It's not interesting to write to the table, but millions of people hear my songs on YouTube."
