As one half of The Addiction tag team with Christopher Daniels, ROH's Frankie Kazarian has achieved so much outside the ring that it is easy to forget. The longstanding champion in both TNA and Ring of Honor is not one to rest on his laurels and in fact, has continued to show his growth. Kazarian's interests aren't simply relegated to this time in the ring but far outweigh them as the bass player for the band VexTemper. The longstanding band member is as passionate about music as he is about wrestling. During our conversation, Kazarian does more than simply discuss his passion for wrestling but discusses his role in VexTemper and what his aspirations for the band would be in the future. Our nearly twenty-minute conversation shares Kazarian has a great deal to achieve and during this process doesn't want to simply rest on what he does in the ring. He wants VexTemper to be a success and shares the music writing process that took place with him and his bandmates.

Frankie Kazarian returns to Journey of a Frontman after being on the very first episode over a year ago. When he's not kicking ass and taking names in Ring of Honor alongside "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels, the wrestling veteran is playing bass in VexTemper. The band just released their debut album Doom Engine, which is now available on Spotify and iTunes. The Southern California rockers stand by the genre of "desert metal", embracing their roots and love for legendary metal acts such as Pantera. Frankie and Alex talk about the recording of the album, the chemistry with his bandmates, his appreciation of walking alongside the desert, plans for 2017 and more. Plus there's plenty of chatter about Christopher Daniels finally winning the big one, Wrestlemania weekend, trips to Cracker Barrel and stories about his fellow wrestling brethren.
