The new album sees Mollestad truly coming into her own as an amazing lead guitarist as well as a dependable riffmeister. The last ten years have seen a thrilling new progessive wave of Norwegian avant jazz´n´rock and free metal energy combos like labelmates Elephant9, Bushman´s Revenge, Krokofant and Motorpsycho - especially in the form of their Roadwork live albums. And let us not forget the mighty Scorch Trio - led by Finnish guitarist Raoul Björkenheim - who can be said to have started it all some 15 years ago. But it could very well be Hedvig Mollestad Trio that defines it all with their ability to turn the full force of heavy rock and electric jazz to demonic purposes. Hedvig first picked up her mother´s nylon-strung acoustic guitar at ten, before discovering a whole new world through her father´s jazz and rock record collection as a teenager. She translated a biography of Jimi Hendrix for a school project and was given her first electric guitar and amplifier as a confirmation present.
