The Hedvig Mollestad Trio is a vanguard group in the experimental rock and jazz scene, hailing from Norway and led by the virtuosic guitarist Hedvig Mollestad Thomassen. Formed in 2009, the trio’s music is a high-octane fusion of jazz, heavy rock, and improvisational music, characterized by Mollestad's fierce and inventive guitar work. The dynamic interplay between her and the rhythm section, consisting of bassist Ellen Brekken and drummer Ivar Loe Bjørnstad, results in a sound that is both raw and intricately complex.

With a discography known for its adventurous spirit and energetic performances, the Hedvig Mollestad Trio has carved out a distinctive niche within the progressive music sphere. Albums such as "Shoot!" (2011), which marked a powerful debut, to the riff-laden odyssey "Black Stabat Mater" (2016), and the more recent "Ding Dong. You’re Dead." (2021), showcase the group's evolution and their commitment to pushing musical boundaries. Their live album "Evil in Oslo" (2016) and subsequent studio recordings like "Smells Funny" (2019) further solidify their reputation for delivering blistering and improvisation-infused performances that captivate listeners with a maelstrom of sound and energy.
