Classically trained musician Christina Sandsengen is set to make her debut appearance on bass for Norwegian Black Metallers Gravdal when the band plays at this year’s HITS for KIDZ at Bergen’s Hole in the Sky festival on the 28th August. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Classical Guitar from the Norwegian Academy of Music and the Conservatorio Manuell Castillo Superior de Musica in Seville, Christina is no stranger to the world of metal, having previously played with Immune and Lucid, and she is a current member of bands such as Bleed The Freak.  It is anticipated that for the time being at least, Oslo-based Christina will take on the role of live session bass player.

Due to the very strictly enforced age limits in clubs and venues, HITS for KIDZ is one of the rare opportunities for the younger Norwegian metal fans to attend a live concert. With no age limit, HITS for KIDZ, which is being held at the Garage venue, has become an extremely popular part of Hole in the Sky, attracting audiences of all ages.  Aside from Gravdal, this year’s Event will also feature sets from Norway’s Hellish Outcast and also Secrets Of The Moon.
