Freak Kitchen is a Swedish rock band from Gothenburg, formed in 1992.[1]

History

[edit]

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]

Musical style

[edit]

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, is inspired by Indian music, 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]
