By Markus Hamence
FRANKENBOK: Australian Metal Legends To Release New Album On May 29
First Single, F.A.F.O, Out Now
Here comes Frankenbok! Bigger and Better then ever. This new album is FRANKENBOK at their Best!
Tim McLean-Smith XMusic’s Big Boss
Australian Metal legends, Frankenbok, will drop their brand new album, The Arriba War Honkleon May 29 via XMusic.
To give you a taste, the first single is a blinder and is aptly titled, F.A.F.O
“F.A.F.O.” is a raw, unflinching dive into the disposable whirlwind of modern dating. With razor-sharp riffs and biting satire, the track skewers Tinder culture, one-night stands, and the dangerous silence around STDs. It’s a piss-take on “safe sex,” but beneath the chaos is a hard-punching message we can’t afford to ignore. And yeah—if we offend a few pricks along the way, so be it. Fuck everyone. No pun intended.

The music Frankenbok creates is one embracing heaviness, humour and brutality; something like nude wrestling in a maximum security wing! Frankenbok boast a diverse sound and are unafraid to try anything and are ALWAYS impulsively applying that to their craft.
Originally formed in the summer of 1997 but since 2002, Frankenbok have sadly had a curse of revolving door musicians… October 2024 saw the return of their original vocalist Adam “Hutch” Glynn, Founding member and Guitarist Azza Bok, Drummer Tom Rossell and bassist Owen Spratling; complete the current line up
Since Glynn’s return, The band signed to a new record label, XMsuic, and have wasted no time!
January 31st 2025 saw the release of“IRREPRESSIBLE” and the band then hit the road with ALIEN ANT FARM and DROWNING POOL for their 2025 Australian Tour as their support act.
Angela Croudace of HEAVY MAG Australia described Frankenbok as“the ugly love child of Faith No More and The Red Hot Chili Peppers with a healthy dose of metal and a sprinkle of pure madness tossed in for good measure!”
The band have a new release entitled “THE ARRIBA WAR HONKLE” dropping May 29, 2026
