THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF Supports TNT In Norway (Video)

November 26, 2012

Norwegian seven-string guitarist/singer/songwriter The Commander-In-Chief supported Norwegian metal legends TNT at Garage in Bergen and Rockefeller in Oslo earlier this month as part of TNT's 30th-anniversary celebrations. It was The Chief's first shows in her native country and it was a huge success. Some fans had been driving for hours to see her live for the first time. She was backed by drummer Jason Bowld (AXEWOUND, KILLING JOKE) and bassist Toshi Ogawa (SLAVES TO GRAVITY).

"I saw [TNT's] Ronni Le Tekrø on TV when I was in Norway some years ago," said The Chief after her performance at Rockefeller. "He is a guitar God in Norway, a true legend. I cannot believe I [got a chance to support] him and his band."

Video footage of the last song of The Chief's performance in Oslo can be seen below.

The Commander-In-Chief's next performance will be at Garage in London on December 15, when she supports LAWNMOWER DETH.

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.

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."
