Frank is a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio, based in Bavaria, Germany. He has worked in the games industry for over 30 years. Frank got hooked on Metal at the age of 14, when a friend introduced him to AC/DC back in 1981. Since then, he has enjoyed a wide variety of musical styles, including Prog and singer-songwriter material, but mainly Metal of almost all kinds—with one exception: he neither understands nor has any clue about Black Metal. Dragons are fine, all kinds of monsters are fine, cats too, of course… just no pandas. Sorry.
