Apologies for the lack of posts here as opposed to mine on our sister community !thrashmetal@lemmy.world, my tastes lately have been largely affected by post-metal, sludge, and various forms of death metal, leaving me little room to explore more of the vast heavy metal genre.
Anyways here we have Sweden’s experimental heavy metal group releasing their debut in 1994. Think of it like a mix of groovy heavy metal and alt rock, except it has a very unique guitar style. These guys are the ones that released that Freak of the Week music video, animated by former Disney employees, that kinda went viral some years ago.
I did a highschool social studies project on Sweden with a focus on their musicians, and featured (among others) Freak Kitchen… I got to play about 30 seconds of “Walls of Stupidity” for a class of 20 or so highschoolers, and I can remember the teacher melting under her desk when she heard the line “I am God in your asshole.”
Anyway, it’s been almost 20 years since I have heard anyone even mention the name of this band, and I’m all for it. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic - love stories like this lmao. I have a similar one, but with Finnish melodic death metal band Kalmah, I had to make a music video in power point and I chose the song “Principle Hero.” It didn’t really make an impression and my teacher was just like “…Okay.” afterwards xD.
