From 1995 Until 2000 The Band's Page

Born August 14th 1974, in Lindome just outside Gothenburg. Started with the piano but he didn´t have the patience to learn how to read notes, and the songs we were playing in school weren't of his taste.
He then picked up one of his father’s guitars and tried to learn the songs of his idols, like Accept, Metallica and Iron Maiden among others. Then,I started playing with my friends and realized that most bands were looking for bass players. There were guitarists and drummers everywhere but no one really cared for the bass. He says on the band's official site :''I switched immediately and haven’t regretted it since! Got my first bass at Christmas when I was around 12. Played a lot with different constellations of friends, I think one of my first bands were called Black Master. We could hardly play but we had tons of fun!"

In ‘94 Larsson met Oscar for the first time and joined Crystal Age. They recorded "Far Beyond Divine Horizons" the following year, but since the release was delayed all interest of continuing died.

Shortly thereafter Oscar asked him to join HammerFall, and the rest is history: Record deal, Glory to the Brave and then he quit... wanting to play Thrash and Death metal .

10 years passed and he has played with a couple of bands: None, DeathDestruction, Cans and Evergrey, but didn’t play on any albums. When Joacim called and asked if he was interested in rejoining HammerFall, I didn’t hesitate.

'I never regretted that I left but I would never forgive myself if I didn’t take this chance.'
