The band is a trio consisting of Thomas Erak (guitars, vocals,keyboards), Andrew Forsman (drums, percussion), Tim Ward (bass, screamed vocals)

and Munro, originally forming as The 30 Years War in 2002. During the life of The 30 Years War, two EPs were independently released, entitled “Martyrs Among the Casualties” and “Live at the Paradox.” After Munro left, the band changed its name to "The Fall of Troy" and in 2003 they released their first, self-titled, album with Lujo Records. In addition to the album, they also self-released an EP entitled “Ghostship.”

The band was invited to submit a new demo for Equal Vision, and in 2005 the band re-entered the studio to record their sophomore album. They released “Doppelganger” on 16 April 2005. After its release, the band went on tour for most of early 2006. They released their third album entitled “Manipulator” in late 2006, and 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 following year the band went out on tour to promote the album with the Deftones. In 2008 The Fall of Troy released another EP entitled “Phantom on the Horizon,” which was played in its entirety on their West Coast and East Coast tours.

On 26 February 2010, The Fall of Troy disbanded after completing a spring US tour; however original lineup of The Fall of Troy reunited for three nights in December 2013 in Austin, Texas with each night being a performance of one of their first three albums.
