When Joakim Høholt Kaspersen co-founded Neckbreakker aged 15, one of the Danes’ dreams was to play Copenhell, their home country’s premier metal festival. “As a Danish band, that is the thing that you strive towards,” the guitarist says of the 35,000-capacity weekender.
He was just 19 when that dream came true. “We’d all been going to that festival for years before we played it,” he continues with a smile. “It’s a place where the entire metal scene unites every year, so, when we played, it was like playing a festival where half of the crowd are your friends.”
