Freak Kitchen

Swedish originals Freak Kitchen combine the unstable, anything-goes-so-long-as-it’s-unusual philosophy of Beliefs FORGET ABOUT and Strapping Teen Lad, the compositional discipline and vocal harmonies of King’s X, as well as the explorative spirit of Frank Zappa into one of the most idiosyncratic and unbiased careers in metallic. Formed in the town of Gothenburg, in 1992, by visionary vocalist and acoustic guitar wizard Mattias Eklundh (previously an associate of Danish music group Destiny) Freak Kitchen’s unique lineup also included bassist Christian Grönlund and drummer Joakim Sjöberg, who collaborated on from the music to recording artwork, and consciously prevented any contracts provided by main labels to be able to keep their precious self-reliance. Affirmed, the trio authorized with regional TSP Information and continued release a three inventive and critically acclaimed albums in 1994’s Appetizer, 1996’s Spanking Hour, and 1998’s Freak Kitchen, producing significant inroads in the home, within the U.K., and in Japan, where Eklundh’s periodic instrumental clinics produced him concurrently revered like a acoustic guitar hero. Sadly, this, among additional issues, slowly started corroding the human relationships within Freak Kitchen, and following a launch of 2000’s Deceased Soul Men along with a farewell New Year’s Eve concert within their indigenous Gothenburg, Grönlund and Sjöberg announced their departure through the group. For his component, Eklundh laid low for quite a while, having always taken care of that Freak Kitchen could under no circumstances continue if some of its three unique members had been to depart. But he ultimately changed his brain, drafting new people Christer ?-rtefors (bass) and Björn Fryklund (drums), and resurrecting Freak Kitchen with 2002’s Move, later on accompanied by 2005’s Organic.
