FRANKENBOK THE OTHER SIDE OF HELL TOUR continues July - Nov 2008

These blokes have been around since 1997 and they still won’t go away!

After releasing Greetings & Salutations (2000 Faultline/Shock), Loopholes & Great Excuses (2001 Dark Carnival), Blood Oath (2003 RoadRunner) and extensive AUS & NZ tours…including top support slots with Slayer, MachineHead, Soilwork, Skinlab, 8 Foot Sativa, Fear Factory & System of a Down, Frankenbok have embarked on their finest works to date.

Murder of Songs is 10 tracks of speed, thrash & bent-out-of-shape melancholy metal with little foot notes from hell about lies, persecution and what it’s really like being Down to the Wire or to Worship before the Dead. The Last Ditch Redemption is a concept EP about a bad motherfucker who does many unspeakable things. After delving into the hell of his twisted mind he emerges believing that in order to redeem himself he must make amends by helping those who cannot help themselves. With trademark thrashing riffery & powerful catchy choruses, this is a complete balls out rockin’ affair. In support of these releases Frankenbok will be thrashing their way to a venue near you!

PRIME CUTS new signing & release - TZUN TZU (SA)




http://www.myspace.com/tzuntzu
After conquering inner demons, a new breath has been taken to honour a once great warrior. Scripted during times past, enlightened by previous errors and failed warfare. A subconscious Death Metal meditation:
…The Art Of War…
With the formation and preparation in 2003, a culmination of dissatisfaction, disinterest and parting ways with a previous clan, the path was clear. Falling from the ranks - masterless and without peer. Warriors hand picked from the armies of the ancient east, preparing for battle in the ancient ways, material has been prepared and re-scripted for the next epoch… This second offering in the form of the Kunoichi MCD, featuring 6 tracks entitled "Shokai", "Kunoichi", "Gaijin", "NoKata", "The Howling Wind" and eerie orchestral peice "Meinichi". The cd also includes a video clip for the track "Gaijin".
PC022 "KUNOICHI" is available now, and self distributed nationally from April. Do not miss out! Orders can be made via Prime Cuts Music by emailing pcuts@bigpond.com or from the band tzuntzu@gmail.com
