Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you about an awesome band. [B]The Fall of Troy[/B] Some of the weirdest shit I've ever heard, but oh so good. Basically they play a weird mix of progressive alternative punk, and it's just awesome! It's hard to describe, you have to listen to them yourself. The guitarist/singer is insane, it's unbelievable he can play that shit and sing perfectly at the same time. [url]http://www.myspace.com/thefalloftroy[/url] Okey, so they sound alot better in the real recordings, but I just have to show you how fucking crazy they are live.

I've been into TFoT since before Guitar Hero 3 publicized them. But yeah, they do kick major ass.
Yeah, same here. They sort of ruin every good band with Guitar Hero 3. I mean, I could put on Through The Fire And Flames because I thought it was catchy. Now it's just like "Goddamn, not that song again".
This band is alright. I have some friends who are really into them but I just can't get past the "whiny" vocals.
My favorite song by them definitely has to be "Whacko Jacko steals the Elephant Man's Bones" To anyone who hasn't heard it, I highly suggest looking it up.
Yeah, that one's great. My favourites are Ghostship Part V, Tom Waits, F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. and an unknown song. It's strange, I've looked through all songs on various lyrics sites but I can never find a lyric that matches what he screams. It bugs me out so much!
Yeah, just sing what you think it is to yourself, eventually you'll find the correct lyrics by rhyming your useless gabber with actual words. Also, [url]www.letssingit.com[/url] is a pretty decent site for finding lyrics if you have yet to check them out.
It's the site I've used, and yeah I've singed it for myself. Before the refrain, it sounds like they sing "I won't back down this time." Then refrain it sounds like: "Where bla bla, scream scream scream, hear that sound?" or something. [b]Edit:[/b] It's the site I've used, and yeah I've singed it for myself.

I have a song by them called "The Ghostship Demos" they're like 5 minute songs but amazing; anyways. Something just irritates me when people say "I love the Fall of Troy" really, whats your favorite song? FCPREMIX, I mean come on; not even FCPITSGEPGEPGEP. Just FCPREMIX.
TFoT is fucking awesome. One of my favorite songs would be "Mouthes like Sidewinder Missiles" Look it up, it's amazing. The beginning guitar is so catchy and...fun. It's one of the reason I love the song so much :v:
I used to love them, saw them live about ehh.. 3 years ago. Now I've kind of grown out of them, their new CD sucks balls so yeah I don't listen to them anymore. Their best songs would have to be: What Sound Does A Mastadon Make? We Better Learn to Hotwire a Uterus Also, I talked with the drummer of Fear Before the March of Flames after the show and he said they were kind of assholes in person and that they beat their girlfriends. No seriously, he said that. Not sure if he was kidding though :tinfoil:
Pretty good band. Like the guy above me I got into them 2-3 years ago and have sort of grown out of them but still listen to them occasionally. Doppelgänger was their best CD.

I love The Fall of Troy. And no, I didn't start liking them after I got Guitar Hero 3. I only had the Manipulator album when I got that game. Now I have their self-titled cd, and both cd's are fantastic. I'd list a few of my favorite songs, but I love them all almost equally. The guitar rifts are so complex and, at times, random, but it all comes together to create something wonderful. Also, if you like The Fall of Troy, you should listen to The Number Twelve Looks Like You. They sound similar.
I saw the Fall of Troy back in 06 for my birthday. I wasn't really a fan of them until after that, I went to the show for the Number Twelve. :]

Anyway, I just heard "Mouths like Sidewinder Missles" and I think that has to be my new favorite song by them.

I never said otherwise, it just irritates me when people say that; I don't know why and it doesn't make any sense.
I get where you're coming from. It's like when people say [i]Smells Like Teen Spirit[/i] is their favorite Nirvana song.
Dig the guitar hate the vocals.
[QUOTE=Ian D]I get where you're coming from.

I mean, just because it's their most popular doesn't mean it can't be their favorite. I've listened to a lot of Nirvana's stuff, and Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of my favorites, Big whup, what about it?
Ghostship Demos are the best songs they have ever written, I can't wait for the full studio quality versions on Phantom Horizons.
Bumping for brilliance. I absolutely LOVE them. LOOOVE.

I love them so much, awesome guitar and drum work, and just generally awesome. A Man. A Plan. A Canal.Panama. and Tom Waits are my favorite.

I don't know... The post hardcore parts and the singing (urrgh, lyrics) ruins it for me mostly. I like their sound a lot sometimes, but when the sinsing kicks in, nah..
Fall Of Troy Are Amaizing I Know The Lead Singer O Yeah Lol :)
Tomas Erak is fucking insane
