Frankenbok vocalist Adam “Hutch” Glynn has decided to step down from Frankenbok.

Just over two years after returning to the band and subsequently recording an EP and an album and touring relentlessly, Glynn has made the decision to depart from the group once again.

His extended explanation appeared on social media this afternoon, in which he cited physical and mental exhaustion for his action.

“I love the band, the guys, I respect their talent, their abilities, their artistic approach and I’m excited to just be a man in the crowd and fan again of what they are doing. Overdose is my favourite album they ever released and it made me fall in love with them all over again,” he wrote, in part. “I will continue to support the Bok in any way I can and I wish them nothing but all the luck, success and good fortune a band in this day and age can achieve and beyond!”

Glynn rejoined Frankenbok in 2024 after a 22-year absence, during which three other vocalists passed through the band.

Created by Łukasz Grosik of Remedy Brand, the visual accompaniment […]
