MELBOURNE metallers Frankenbok have been around for an unbelievable 25 years now.
The return of HM would not be complete without a chat with these hardnut legends so let’s go with Azza!
HOT METAL: How was it getting back into it, recording Overdose with the Frankenbok lads after having some time away with other projects ?
Azza Bok: “Recording Overdose was the best studio experience I ever had. Luke at Danger Tone studios made me feel so confident which made the whole experience easy and fun. Plus, every member of the band was so well rehearsed and totally knew there stuff back to front.”
HM: The record sounds awesome. Surely it will be great to play new tracks live and include some oldies ?
AB: “The Overdose songs are awesome to play live and again, so well rehearsed. The better you become at something usually the more fun it is. We like fun …. and we are just starting to bring in some older songs now.”
HM: How is country life treating you?
AB: “Country life rules. I can’t ever go back to living in suburbia … probably best for everyone.”
HM: Who’s your all time fave desert island band?
AB: “If I’m on an island: Jimmy Buffet or Morbid Angel.”
HM: Who do you follow in AFL, NRL or chosen sport?
AB: “I enjoy watching UFC and enjoy doing archery. (I) use to love NRL and barracked for Parramatta Eels 37 years ago.”
