Conceived in 1997 from the Ashes of bands Bacterium, Prozac and Zombonol.
The music Frankenbok creates is one embracing heaviness, humour and brutality; something like nude wrestling in a maximum security wing!
Frankenbok transcend the normal parameters of alternative fused punk and metal, boasting a diverse sound that epitomises a band that is comfortable within their confines, unafraid to try anything and ALWAYS impulsively applying that to their craft.
