THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF Management has issued as follows:

Norwegian 7string guitarist/singer/songwriter “The Commander-In-Chief” has confirmed that she is taking her show to Norway for the first time, supporting Norwegian Metal legends TNT on two of their 30th anniversary shows; November 16th, at Garage in Bergen, and November 17th at Rockefeller in Oslo.

The Chief is very excited and honored to support TNT, a band that  has such an important place in the history of Norwegian Metal/Hard Rock. After living abroad most of her life, she is extremely happy about returning to the city where she was born, Bergen.

She will be supported on stage by AxeWound drummer Jason Bowld, who played drums on her debut EP “Evolution” and her bassist Toshi Ogawa, who played with Jason in Slaves to Gravity. She also brings sound engineer Mani Hammond, who has worked with her since April this year.

Her sensational performance at Bloodstock Open Air festival in August this year (headlined by Alice Cooper and Machine Head) was widely praised by reviewers and fans, with one reviewer saying  “The Commander-in-Chief was a pure boost of guitar shredding force that swept through the arena and had the whole Sophie tent rocking” (nottinghamlive.co.uk).

In September she was featured as “1 of 10 Modern Guitar Gods” in Metal Hammer UK, alongside Alexi Laiho and Tosin Abasi.

She has been confirmed for Metal Hammer‘s own festival, Hammer Fest, in March 2013 and on December 15th she will support Lawnmower Deth at Garage in London.

Since her Bloodstock performance she started to work with booking agent Ben Hylands, IIA Touring. More dates will be announced soon.

THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF Management has issued the following:

Video footage of Norwegian seven-string guitarist/singer/songwriter The Commander-In-Chief‘s performance at this year’s edition of the Bloodstock Open Air festival, which was held August 9-12 at Catton Park, Derbyshire in the United Kingdom, can be seen below. Also available is an interview with The Commander-In-Chief conducted by Sophie K of Total Rock Radio.

The Commander-In-Chief‘s “Dropout” video was filmed last year in Milan, Italy with producer Elia Turra. This new version of the song was remixed by Sterling Winfield (PANTERA, HATEBREED, HELLYEAH) in 2011. He later went on to produce The Commander-In-Chief‘s debut EP, “Evolution”.

“Evolution” was released digitally on February 15 via Commander Records/The Commander-In-Chief Ltd.

“Evolution” track listing:

01. Thou
02. Famous
03. Evolution
04. Let It Go

In a 2010 interview with Metal Express Radio, The Commander-In-Chief stated about her music, “I used to call it hybrid rock; the power of rock with the message of punk, and the catchiness of pop inspired by metal techniques. NOW my music has taken a more heavy direction than last year, so it’s less punk and more metal.”

Regarding her name, The Commander-In-Chief, she said, “I wanted a powerful artist name, since I’ve always been doing my own thing and still am. I do all the songwriting, guitar playing, singing and I write all the lyrics. For the first demo I made in Chicago I also made my own animated music video which generated quite a buzz on MySpace and gave me all my first fans. I also created illustrations for all my songs, mixing the music with visual arts. I don’t do that anymore though, as I just don’t have the time.”
