the fall of troy

oh man, where do i start? this band has been my favorite band for i can't remember how long. these guys never failed to amaze me. it started out a cold winter night, when a friend of mine played tom waits for me. at first i thought it was like listening to unstructured noise. i was proved wrong when my friend sent me songs to my computer, i believe it was ghostship part 1 and 4 and 5, tom waits, circus and mouths like sidewinder missiles.

after listening to this for a couple of days, i was hooked. i had never heard anything like this before. and realizing how young they were, i was amazed how they could create music like this. guitarist thomas erak, drummer andrew forsman and bassist tim ward (who was sadly replaced by frank black because his mental health took damage from being in a band he once loved).

all their albums and ep's are the most solid stuff i've ever heard, except for the newest album, "in the unlikely event". they apparently decided to go into a completely different direction with this album. most songs are very very good, but there are some weak parts and they are very disappointing. i will still listen to the old albums and think back to the band whose all albums i loved.

if you like chaotic post-mathrock-hardcore-metal, then this band is something for you. unfortunately has no songs on spotify, but you can find most if not all on youtube.
