In 2007, Frank joined Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth under the pseudonym Bøddel, which is Norwegian for Executioner. In Gorgoroth he appeared on the 2009 album Quantos Possunt Ad Satanitatem Trahunt and the recent 2015 release Instinctus Bestialis. Frank was also a member of the death metal band The Henchmen in 1993.
