Fans of Mattias Eklundh know him best for his experimental shred guitar style, his avant-garde prog-metal act Freak Kitchen, and his collaborations with death metallers Soilwork on their early albums.
Although technique-heavy metal is at Eklundh's heart, he's never been afraid to go way off track - his rendition of the Aussie rockers AC/DC's 'Hell's Bells' on nylon-string guitar is beautifully played and has just a touch of Mattias's infectious sense of fun (we love the doorbell!).
Keep an eye out for more of Mattias IA Eklundh in a future issue of TG.
