Biographie
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.

It shouldn’t work. When it comes down to it, to watch The Fall Of Troy is to watch three guys play nigh-on impossibly technical music, where the instrumental parts barely have any cohesion with each other on first listen, at brain slaughtering volumes. By all logical reasoning it should only appeal to those who value their subscriptions to Total Guitar more than any social interaction they’ve ever had. However The Fall Of Troy are fundamentally a better band than most mathcore chancers could ever hope to be and to watch them now, after their long awaited reunion last year, is to see a band at the very peak of their considerable powers. It’s an intensely thrilling experience, notable for not only the note perfect renditions of their staggering back catalogue (seriously just watch them pummel through classics like I Just Got This Symphony Goin' and Nobody’s Perfect and marvel…) but also the devotion shown from the crowd. Every gig of theirs is a gig no-one thought they’d see, and the joy is apparent with every screamed lyric and every stage dive. Post-hardcore bands are dime a dozen these days, and while that is a good thing (for most part) the vast majority of them can never hope to match the power, dexterity and chemistry that one of the bands that perfected the genre show to this day. The Fall Of Troy are one of a kind, and if the opportunity rises to see them do what they do best, you won’t see anything else like it for a long time.

The fall of troy live.
As a long term fan i have been waiting for 10 years now to see them, after was missing out on ther last appearance 7 years ago prior to their split.
The show was great, thomas erak was pulling off big time, tim ward did a great job and andrew forsman drummed like boss. The experience was great. A 60 minute show, that was worth every penny.
Besides that you camr across to notice that the guys have been on tour for the past few months so tension was visible. But only for the first 5 minutes.
The guys werw having fun - the crowd was wild - i was glad!
10/10 totally would wanna see again
THANK YOU!

I was amazed to see my long-loving band live. Their reunion means a lot for hc kids community, at least for me. You should see them live. Charismatic, emotional, amazing Thomas, energetic and aggressive gig. Unfortunately they did not have enough support in Munich, it was shown. Be crazy and stay true with yourself on next The Fall of Troy concert!

The Fall Of Troy was amazing live in a small venue. Sound was crisp and loud just what the metal doctor ordered! I went to that show with my woman and it got her to want to go to more shows with me. The next time are in the NW I will definitely be seeing them again. Keep it rocking hard! _-J-_ go hawks!

I haven't been to an awesome show as this in a long time. The guys were pretty cool to meet. The music was amazing. The crowd got crazy. If you go to a show and don't get on stage, stepped on, pushed/shoved, then you're def. missing out.
