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).
