Freak Kitchen

Freak Kitchen co-headlined Fuel Great Indian Rock 2008 alongside Sahg and Satyricon.^[2]

Their album, Cooking with Pagans, was released in 2014, with the first single, "Professional Help" released in November.^[3]

Freak Kitchen's style of music is influenced by many genres besides traditional heavy metal, ranging from jazz to pop. The band described their third album as "A corny little heavy-pop-rock-Latin-world-jazz-avant-garde-metal-blues-record straight from hell!".^[4] The album Land of the Freaks, which was released in late October 2009, features Indian inspiration, with the band joined by the two Indian musicians V. Selvaganesh and Neyveli S Radhakrishna on several tracks.^{[citation needed]}

The lyrics of Freak Kitchen often contain humor and criticism of capitalist society, conformity, racism and the attitude of major labels.^{[citation needed]}

Frontman Mattias Eklundh has a reputation as a guitar virtuoso,^[5] and live shows often contain parts where Eklundh plays the guitar using several foreign objects such as a vibrating dildo.^{[citation needed][relevant?]} Eklundh has also released four solo albums, Sensually Primitive (1996) (under the pseudonym Mr Libido), Freak Guitar (1999), Freak Guitar - The Road Less Traveled (2004) and Freak Guitar: The Smorgasbord (2013).
