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!". 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. The lyrics of Freak Kitchen often contain humor and criticism of
capitalist society, conformity,
racism and the attitude of
major labels. Frontman Mattias Eklundh has a reputation as a guitar virtuoso, and live shows often contain parts where Eklundh plays the guitar using several foreign objects such as a vibrating
dildo. 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). == Members ==
