H&K sat down for a cosy chat with Lars Johansson of Swedish doom metal legends Candlemass 20 minutes after the band played a storming set – in a rain storm no less – at Bang Your Head Festival 2016 in Balingen, Germany!

Lars tells us all about the difference between festival and headline shows, how easy it is taking his GrandMeister amp on the road with him, and he gives you some tips on getting the ultimate doom metal sound…

Plus, he reveals how we like to test our amps out for roadworthiness by dropping them on the ground. Repeatedly. Enjoy!
