The Namesake Series: "H5N1"
While I've never had the pleasure of being introduced to bird flu, I have done battle with its cousin H1N1, swine flu. Maybe I'll finally get my chance because bird flu is a serious concern these days thanks to research into H5N1's ability to transmit between mammals. The findings have stirred up controversy among those who say publishing the results, while valuable for researchers seeking effective treatments for the flu strain, could be used to weaponize the virus.
Bird flu is also right in grindcore's wheelhouse because both Sweden's Gadget and Australia's Extortion have dipped into that well.

had to cancel a weekend of shows once to an H1N1 addled drummer
A Chinese grind band called Ashen called their 2009 demo "H1N1". Useless fact!!
Sorry they were from Taiwan actually, not China
useless facts would be a great band name.
