About Me

Me, Myself, and I
The Fall of Troy is characterized by the alternating vocals of Erak and formerly Ward, multiple effects, and Erak's vocal extremes (soothing singing voice to a harsh, shrill scream). All three founding members came from the band The 30 Years War, which they were in when they were all about 17 years old.

TFOT is a three-piece experimental rock/prog-rock band (with mathcore tendencies) from Mukilteo, Washington. The band consists of Thomas Erak (lead vocals, guitar), Andrew Forsman, (drums), and Frank Black (bass, backup vocals).

  • Coming Soon

    'Untitled Album'
    Erak has now stated that they will release yet another album before they release the Phantom on the Horizon concept album. The record is tentatively scheduled to be released sometime in the first quarter of 2008. The new record is untitled and may be split between two E.P.'s.


    'Phantom on the Horizon'
    Erak has stated that the Ghostship demos will be re-recorded and released as Phantom on the Horizon, but the release date is unknown. The album will feature eight tracks and a storyline with each of the band members playing a role, with the only confirmed role being Erak's as captain. The storyline consists of Erak's Spanish galleon meeting a ghost ship from another dimension, and hell ensuing. He has described the album as "one song separated by tracks", much like that of The Mars Volta's Cassandra Gemini.


    Split EP
    Erak has also stated in interviews that the band will be doing a split EP with mathcore band The Number Twelve Looks Like You, sometime before Phantom On The Horizon. However, in a recent interview with AbsolutePunk.net, The Fall of Troy said they want this to happen but they doubt it will anytime soon, because Eyeball Records will not hand over the rights to do the split with Equal Vision Records. However, on September 25 2007 Eyeball Records addressed the issue in a statement stating they were unaware of a split EP between the bands. The former manager of the band (The Number Twelve) is also believed to have sparked insight into the situation. Thomas has been quoted as saying that he and Alex of the Number Twelve Looks Like You had completed writing the track on the EP featuring all members of both bands. Until further notice, the project is halted, but their producer and close friend Mario Gonzalez of Naples Florida has been talking with Thomas to continue production on the record. The Fall of Troy played one of the new songs at their recent concert at King Tut's in Glasgow, saying that "...this is a new song, that we've not got around to recording yet, and you guys are one of the first to hear it".

  • Manipulator

    In mid-December 2006, the band entered the studio with producer Matt Bayles (Minus the Bear, Botch, Pearl Jam, Mastodon) to begin work on their third full-length, Manipulator. The album has now been released, achieving 4 out of 5 K's in Kerrang! magazine and 7 out of 10 from Metal Hammer magazine.

    The album features Nouela Johnston of the Seattle band Mon Frere contributing vocal and keyboard parts to many songs. The album includes the previously written, "Seattlantis," and mostly all new material, including songs such as, "Problem?," "Cut Down All the Trees and Name the Streets After Them," and a song with the palindromic title, "A Man, A Plan, A Canal, Panama." The band has stated that the first single off of Manipulator will be "Cut Down All the Trees and Name the Streets After Them", which was also the first song released to the public on the band's MySpace. "Cut Down All the Trees and Name the Streets After Them" music video was released on August 8, 2007 on the band's MySpace.

    In late November of 2007, during their tour with Coheed and Cambria, Tim left the band to be replaced by Frank Black of San Diego progressive rock band, ...Of Stalwart Fads.
