Now with 4 albums and 2 EP’s under their belt, their most recent release, deftly titled “THE END OF ALL YOU KNOW”, is by far the bands heaviest work to date. Musically it is a real blend of heavy metal styles, ranging from thrash, to punk to southern rock riffage and straight up heavy metal, all with a very Australian flavour and distinctive sound that the band have crafted over a 15 year existence. Thematically the album is a statement that the human race is on a one-way ticket to annihilation, dealt out by our own hand. The cover artwork is an entrancing, hand-painted magnum opus, depicting a full scale riot with the mob descending on a pyramid of the ‘eye of providence’, a symbol representing the modern social structure. They are intent on tearing it down - and themselves along with it. If the revolution was to ever occur, there would be no group loyalty, just total chaos, every man for himself each taking their bat, ball and smashing each other's heads in. It was painstakingly painted by Tom Emery, a good friend of the band and a truly phenomenal artist. The picture features over 1000 figures in incredible detail, and really must be seen to be believed.

Frankenbok are also proud to be releasing ‘The End Of All You Know’ on their own record label, Fair Dinkum Records. The album is available via their website (www.frankenbok.com), and every online order comes with a free album cover t-shirt, album poster and other Frankenbok paraphernalia.

Since 1997 Frankenbok have toured Australia and New Zealand many many times and shared the stage with the likes of Exodus, Slayer, Machine Head, System of A Down, Fear Factory, Malevolent Creation and Skinlab as well as the cream of Australian heavy metal. In their fine tradition of really getting amongst it, Frankenbok have spent the past year on the road in Australia & New Zealand, showcasing the new album and are chomping at the bit to pummel new audiences into the ground with their eclectic swag of ferocious ditties.

Cocaine
Frankenbok Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cocaine, cocaine I think it's my choice of drug
Cocaine showed me a life that's less cynical
Soap and open with the knives of the critical
And wash away today the effects sorry and typical
Cocaine, cocaine I think it's my choice of drug
Cocaine, cocaine the last time I had you was not the same
In vain - The ass end of choice has become my name
Cocaine I sink with this choice like dung

Snow white!
Cocaine be it my choice of drug
I'd be it all if I could be...
I just want one fucking hit!
I bleed and seep out all my flaws
My teeth tampon absorb this vermin that I
Snort, sniff, sniff, snort
Feel the aura of all kinds
It's the best I get
The yes I'm let into
Insured. Pre Natural

Sniff and invest in bliss
Unlike none yet.
