Hellfest 2025, Clisson, France. What will be a very busy Saturday starts with Freak Kitchen at Main Stage 2. It is a band I have been looking forward to seeing for years.
The trio’s eclectic mix of heavy-riff-filled progressive Metal, lots of technical passages and intricate rhythms, coupled with lyrical irony, all make them unique.
The Swedes have a 45-minute slot in which all the above can be found in large quantities. Speak When Spoken To is a highlight. Bonus points for bass player Christer Örtefors wearing military gear, including helmet.
We even have a song in Swedish, “The biggest Swedish lesson ever”, as guitarist and vocalist Matthias IA Eklundh explains. It actually works well and even gets a “friendly moshpit”, as is demanded from the stage.
Jokes aside, amazing technical chops.
