"Awakening of Aggression," is true to the title - very heavy aggressive rock, taking it a bit further than his second cd Rocktronic, which has been a fan favorite to date. Each track pumps some serious adrenaline! Frank Klepacki has worked for top publishers in the business such as: WESTWOOD STUDIOS, LUCASARTS, ELECTRONIC ARTS, SEGA, DISNEY, SSI, HASBRO, and VIRGIN INTERACTIVE. With 18 years and dozens of top titles in the industry, he has composed for all game genres, in all musical styles, as well as audio direction, top sound design, and a variety of voice talents. Raised from a musical family, and performing professionally since the age of 11, Frank grew up with music and began composing in high school. Combining his talents with the art of engineering in recording studios, and the world of computers, Franks path was visualized. In 1991 he began composing for games, eventually scoring the first Real Time Strategy game ever, Dune II. In 1995, he pushed the limits of music in the game industry with one of the biggest franchises in the world, COMMAND & CONQUER. Frank was one of the first to break ground with a music style that had cross-over commercial appeal in a computer game, and would have such an impact, that the soundtrack alone was in demand everywhere. He won the PC Gamer award for Best Game Soundtrack for C&C: Red Alert, over Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) for Quake. By the year 2000, Frank moved up into Television & Film, licensing music for HBO and ABC, and in 2003, became a regular featured recording artist on the ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP, broadcast on Pay-Per-View, Spike TV, and FOX SPORTS. In 2002, Frank began releasing his own solo albums via his website, continuing the style of music he made famous in the Command & Conquer series for fans worldwide. Frank is also one of Vegas' top music producers and engineers, recording various artists in the Las Vegas area. As of 2004, Frank has been the full-time Audio Director at PETROGLYPH, featuring many of the talented team that created the Command & Conquer series, having shipped titles such as STAR WARS: EMPIRE AT WAR, and their original IP, UNIVERSE AT WAR: EARTH ASSAULT.
