Freak Kitchen is a heavy metal / hard rock band from Gothenburg in Sweden that has existed since 1992. The high technical level of their compositions also allows them to be classified as progressive metal or progressive rock band.
The influences that shape the music style of Freak Kitchen are diverse and go far beyond traditional heavy metal, for example jazz or pop music . The band referred to themselves as "A corny little heavy-pop-rock-latin-world-jazz-avant-garde-metal-blues-record", referring to their third album.
The lyrics mostly express direct criticism of capitalist society, conformity , racism and the attitude of big record companies .
Front man Mattias IA Eklundh is a guitarist with great technical skills and a lot of humor. This goes so far that when performing live it often happens that he plays his guitar with unusual things, such as a vibrator . Eklundh began his career in 1989 with the hard rock group Fate . He has also released three solo albums, Sensually Primitive (1997; under the pen name Mr. Libido), Freak Guitar (1999), and Freak Guitar - The Road Less Traveled (2004).
Freak Kitchen completed their sixth album Organic in 2005 .
