Frankenbok: Release New Single, Casualty. New Album, The Arriba War Honkle, Out Now

Originally sparked by guitar and vocal ideas from Aaron Butler after he attended a First Aid course, the song was lyrically reframed shifting the focus from first aid and physical trauma to the casualties left by emotional drain and social parasites.

‍

"Casualty is about the people who keep giving, until they’re left paying a heavy price.”

‍

Driven by crushing riffs and Frankenbok’s unmistakable energy, the track balances brute force heaviness with reflection, reminding us that generosity should never mean self-destruction.

Frankenbok’s music embraces heaviness, humour and brutality! The Australian legacy metal band boasts a diverse sound, unafraid to try anything and are ALWAYS impulsively applying that to their craft. Since their inception in 1997, they’ve defied boundaries, constantly evolving, yet never losing their core.

The path they have been carving for close to 30 years without a break proves they are a force of raw power with infusions of playfulness, colour, and a fearless spirit.

With a broad spectrum of influences, Frankenbok seamlessly weaves together alternative, punk, funk, metal, and death metal, creating a sound that is as versatile as it is intense.  Something like nude wrestling in a maximum security prison wing!

HEAVY Magazine recently summed up their sound to: “The wild love child of Faith No More and Red Hot Chili Peppers, with a healthy dose of metal and pure madness.”

Fans will be swept back to the BOK's golden era of what once made them appealing in the first place but carried forward by a limitless musical vision.  The Arriba War Honkle is a defining moment, nostalgic for the old guard, electrifying for the new.

After 30 years of existence, it is clear that this band will never go away! For the nature of Frankenbok is, and always will be, irrepressible….
