Looking back on this, my voice was definitely burned up from being too excited/improperly taking care of my voice/not playing long sets. It definitely checked me to get my techniques in line... I’ve also put down smokes since. I also blew my high register during ITUE. Which then has steered me towards being more calculated, and growing with the changes in my voice. Not so much, what I am trying to go for.

[@_galacticfates]

You still definitely got it man, even if it's not as powerful as the S/T - Doppelganger - Manipulator - ITUE era your voice still carries heavy power and I love it so much! Some of my favorites are 401k and Mirrors from Mukiltearth just to give some examples. Thanks for taking this with such passion, this and many more things makes you and everyone who works at TFoT and their own projects simply so amazing!

[@ericbaum3397]

I come back to this video a lot dude you tore it up. All of you did. Last few minutes I get undeniable goosebumps every time. Dont be too critical on yourself, 99% of people could never do what you do.

[@Mazut0]

@@LambdaComplexx damn, thanks for the info!!!

[@colton5746]

Lol I was just thinking to myself damn thomas sounds the most off I've heard in any of fall of troy recordings. Right on just out and saying it and trying to correct it. Not gonna lie first thought was who let thomas get this fucked up before the show? sounds like me after a whole fifth of whiskey. Much love man, keep slaying with that mighty axe of yours.

[@ALIENjoy]

i actually like thom's new vocal style. my biggest issue with his singing before was that he could sound kinda whiny at times. he may be a bit less energetic and definitely less erratic now, but i'm honestly hoping to see a more conservative approach on their next record. these guys have already proved they're some of the greatest musicians around today, and erak is a masterfully unorthodox songwriter. ALSO THAT FUCKIN SEATTLANTIS SOLO DAYM

[@FullmetalTelecaster]

Man this guy has all sorts of tfot stuff on his channel you can't find anywhere else, sweet

[@Mazut0]

Doppelganger I got even more ;)

[@FullmetalTelecaster]

thekazuya005 thought you did, seen you everywhere regarding The Fall of Troy

[@Mazut0]

Doppelganger Yep, I'm a big fan :)

[@FullmetalTelecaster]

Fucking perfect sound quality and the video is great too!

[@Chuckwearsprada]

thekazuya005 You're friggin incredible man, do you mind uploading to Google Drive or Dropbox as you release them? That way we can DL these without YT's lossy ass compression.

[@mcgav17]

that sledgehammer breakdown was wild.

[@waltermelon3800]

vocals were a bit off but tims screams are still insane. I'm sure thom will get his vocals back up after they've practiced together more.

[@Divad_DA]

The outro is seriously one of the coolest things

[@daltonplaysthesax]

I was at this show. The video is great, but it really doesnt do it justice. The crowd was just nuts the whole night.

[@sammi3co490]

First off, holy crap! Great video, THANK YOU. I really hope they do a USA tour soon! They hinted at it on their FB page; hope they're not pulling our legs. It would be so amazing to finally see them live.

[@spezy93]

If you change the video speed to 1.25x, it's sounds just like they did 10 years ago :P

[@nodnarbd.9453]

Fucking brilliant. This was my shit in middle school. Im stoked for anything they do in the near future.

[@Syncpowah]

awesome video!!

[@Hanna09017]

Awh yeah !!!!

[@broderick.8054]

Bro.... Thomas' scream at 6:30 though...

[@DaltonGoesSlow]

live from an Android 3.0 tablet lmfao

[@Mazut0]

+Dalton McCabe I used an emulator

[@GeoAl09]

hahahah great comment

[@gavinc.morrison1147]

🤣🤦🏾‍♂

[@reemeruxd]

one of my favorite bands of all time. always felt as though they needed a dedicated singer though

[@Mazut0]

Michael Benson Thomas sounded pretty good in late 2004, 2005 and 2006 :P he even did some demanding stuff back then look up for Tom Waits demo, the el corazon 2006 april Act One Scene One performance, his screams for Excreations durning that same 2006 performance...

[@reemeruxd]

yeah he was better back then. just in this videos the vocals dont sound so hot.

[@Mazut0]

Michael Benson Yeah, years of drinking, smoking and screaming did the part. He didn't practice enough at that time, his vocals at 2013 reunion and first part 2014 were shit, he sounds way better now, though his screaming is getting just worser.

[@versnellingspookie]

Where did you get this footage? I cant find it online anywhere! Thanks for uploading though

[@UrBeat06]

Brings back old memories. Great to see them back at it. Good to see the crowd isn't filled with a bunch of 16 year old teenaged girls anymore. Gonna miss the whole European tour with Chon this Summer. Disappointing.

[@Mazut0]

Brian Esteban Dowd If you are a 16 year old dude than that isn't really a bad thing XD

[@UrBeat06]

ha. Fair enough.

[@gognoggler7326]

Wow I never realized the bassist was also ripping out insane vocals.

[@Magmetal1]

insane

[@andrewoverhere8525]

spandex-like tight denim pants, nar nar handle bar moustache, gibson grabber growl. fuck YES TFOT

[@nicolasalegria3743]

I always wanted to know the chords of quarter past ending

[@xones7294]

At least Thomas got a couple of years out of his voice. Oli got screwed.

[@HeavyProfessor]

The ending is fucking sick. WHERE THE FUCK WAS I WHEN THIS WAS GOING DOWN!?

[@andrewoverhere8525]

one question, is the bassist here featured on any/all albums? he plays many things differently, which is rad, I'm just wondering. cheers

[@Mazut0]

Andrew Over The only album he wasn't on is "In the Unlikely Event" And on the "Phantom on the Horizon" EP because he left in late november/december of 2007 due to stress (there are rumors that he abused drugs and that the band wanted to be clear, but it's a known fact that Thomas was on speed) and was replaced by "Frank "Black" Ene" who was then the bassist for TFOT til they broke up in 2010. The band reunited in september 2013 with the original lineup :).

[@Mazut0]

***** Thomas actually admitted. It's a fact that he smoked weed and drank alcohol in his teens and he snorted meth later.

[@Mazut0]

***** "TomSerakThomas Erak - Guitarist and Vocalist for The Fall of Troy[S] 33 points 9 months ago I think we are the only ones that have touched on the drug issue, because we never made it big public knowledge that we were using drugs, and didn't boast it as being "cool". Therefore super documented. Thomas" "TomSerakThomas Erak - Guitarist and Vocalist for The Fall of Troy[S] 13 points 9 months ago What drugs did we NOT use is more of a question. Thomas" As for the other informations, I got my sources

[@JoseMartinez-bg2jd]

oK

[@samus13aran]

Can someone please tell me the intro lyrics of "Act one, scene one" I can recognize this... Just because i'm sorry, doesn't mean that _________ Just because i'm sorry, doesn't mean that it's fair I will tell the lies, to bunch us(?) togheter. I will tell the lies, to keep us together. Thank you. :)

[@jorgeeduardo347]

I've searched the lyrics on google and found nothing, so it's probably a song of their own. Maybe just an intro for Act One, Scene One.

[@samus13aran]

+Jorge Eduardo Indeed. He changes it every time they play it live. But I want to know if anyone can recognize that part by hearing. anyway, thank you.

[@broderick.8054]

Just because I'm sorry, doesn't mean that you care Then I will tell the lies to put you together

[@hardyrulez96]

When was this??

[@June_Chichimoco]

Cee Ruckus 2013 i think

[@Orphen01]

Erak has the most awkward sense of melody when it comes down to solos.

[@voteZDLR]

Fernando Barreto The entire construction of the song is different, it's not just the solos. Some may call it really "proggy", others may say it's... awkward, or different, or weird. And it's kinda one of those things that you're right no matter what you say. They may as well have their own genre named after them, because I can't think of another band that is similar enough to be compared to the FoT. Revolutionary stuff. If only they had stayed together years ago. oh well.

[@TheGuitarifier]

in your opinion, yeah.

[@Terror0619]

voteZDLR I honestly always considered the fall of troy on the mathy side. Math/experimental

[@JBMetalProductions]

so fucking good. ima go listen to doppleganger now

[@2010swag]

Holy shit what were they playing at 1:56:18

[@Mazut0]

Milkaroni The standard TFOT outro of every concert they played since 2005... It's a modified version of the Ghostship part V outro.

[@Mazut0]

Milkaroni That means that something really really bad happened, or they were really way too tired XD

[@drewmiller8784]

+OK It may be because Thomas got rid of his DL4. He can't loop without it. They didn't play it when I saw them either.

[@2010swag]

***** Weird because he said he's a big fan of echo and looper pedals... I wonder why he would scrap it?

[@drewmiller8784]

+OK at least he kept his space echo

[@raymondhernandez2935]

This was the tits!!!

[@voteZDLR]

The instruments were on point, but like... I mean it was amazing when he was younger, Erak could sing, scream AND play beyond lead-guitar difficulty technical stuff on the guitar... but he just can't do it anymore. IMHO, signing a fourth member, a lead vocalist, with Tim and Thom backup vocalists/screamers, seems like it might at least be worth consideration. Of course, they're on record as saying that one of the benefits of only three people is they all get paid more too, so there is that. Regardless, so happy FoT is doing their thing again. They are phenomenal.

[@areyamdidntnot]

voteZDLR I watched them live on Tuesday in Scotland and I have to disagree. At times I considered what you said but when I finally saw them live for the first time I was proved wrong. They've still got it, TRUST ME! lol

[@voteZDLR]

areyamdidntnot Remember, I am specifically referring to their vocals only, and more specifically I am referring to this video and other displays of their performances live in the past few weeks.

[@Mazut0]

areyamdidntnot Thomas should spend some time to fit his vocals with every part on every song I'm sure that he could do it with lots of practices. Also Thomas loses the In tune-ity after screaming and his screaming sure is at the end, he should let Tim do the whole work. Actually I'm pretty sure that Tim would even sing more in tune. But as we all know thomas likes and always liked to show off ;) he would even remove mofucking andrew (beast drummer, thomas isnt even close to his drumming) and play the drums XD and thomas knew to take tim's bass off and it's funny cuz he doesn't know how to hold the bass like a bass player. I know that he learned all these instruments but it's obvious that tim is better on bass and andrew better on drums than him. Playing guitar like that should be enough for him and clean singing (with practice before)

[@voteZDLR]

***** That's good to hear

[@thefretbuzz6659]

+voteZDLR nah fam the magic about Erak is that he can sing while doing insane rythyms on guitar. Its unique, and plus his voice is pretty unique

[@cecilerichardson5569]

His pipes went to shit. I saw them in the earlier 2000's and he was much better....

[@Mazut0]

Cecile richardson Yep, they were way better. But I still like em :D

[@mochoshakakhan]

Cecile richardson Hope they will be good to go when I see em in september

[@Mazut0]

mochoshakakhan He improved his singing, but he still wont be able to scream like he used to, his screams sound washed up like on this video right now.

[@neddaevionparmer1436]

Cecile richardson gotta remember he smokes, and im sure you know doppelganger came out like a decade ago. 10 years of smoking does a number on the vocal cords

[@Mazut0]

NeddaeVion Parmer + drinking and drugs
