Organic, the new Freak Kitchen album, is out in the open, spreading throughout the planet. Swedes (dist. Bonnier Amigo), the Danish (dist. Universal), the Finnish (dist.

UK's Total Guitar wrote: "Any good? Imagine Steve Vai, Jimi Hendrix, Devin Townsend and Frank Zappa feeding each other acid in a sauna. Throw in a few Wylde-style pinch harmonics, a heart attack, an Italian dictator, wall to wall distortion and a barklingly catchy, rap-metal influenced first single, and you're close to acheiving Freak Kitchen's avant-garde brand of spazz jazz metal. If the Alice in Chains-meets-Offspring simplicity of the songs doesn't win you over then Eklundh's rococo guitar style will have you reaching for the rewind button".

Yes, it's finally happening! The Apple Horn Orange and the Apple Horn Sandstone, my splendid signature models by Caparison Guitars, is being shipped to Scandinavia in the near future.

Interested in buying one? Write to applehorn@freakkitchen.com.



Apple Horn Orange


Posing my brains out together with my French dog Maya at a men's clothing commerical. Now, is this really guitar hero kind of activities? I don't know. Got me a nice tailor made smoking though...

For all of you who have written and asked about my sound, I have put together a simple "map" on how to turn the knobs on the Laney amplifiers I use. Go here (Apple Horn).

For all of you who write to me and ask about that way the guitar is tuned on the various albums in the freak catalogue I have put together the Tunings page to help out.

Kick ass review in Guitar One! Check under Wanking!


Had a ball jamming with Steve Vai on stage during his current tour recently. Check out more photos from the show at Wanking.


New Apple Horn model in the making! Caparison Guitars has once again outdone themselves in building me a stunning instrument: the Apple Horn HGS (Heavy Gauge Strings)! Proud to the bone as usual. The guitar is outstanding for playing beefy, tuned down songs like Chest Pain Waltz, Look Bored, Propaganda Pie, e t c. For technical specifications, please check out the Apple Horn page.

More news when the production will begin soon.

Amazing news from the UK! "Freak Guitar - The Road Less Traveled" was Album of the Month in a recent issue of Guitar Techniques and got a serious ***** review! Kerrang gave the CD some KKKK and Powerplay 7/7! I am stunned and very grateful.

As if this wasn't enough the album also got + + + + in UK's Guitarist!

Now how about this: "Eklundh's ear for melody is spot on, even during his most avant-garde moments, and an insane cover of Smoke on the Water is just the tip the iceberg. Faster than Malmsteen, smoother than Michael Lee Firkins and, dammit, better than Vai - this is undoubtedly the future of this style of guitar playing".

In the December issue of the magazine there are none less than two interactive CDs featuring my zany playing! Hail to England!
