The Fall Of Troy is back and back with a furious vengeance with their latest single “We Are The Future” ahead of their album release for Mukiltearth, due to be out August 8th! The track is the band's return to form for long time fans of the mathematical guitar wizard’s sound. For those not familiar with The Fall Of Troy, they are an experimental post-hardcore band since 2002 who has always been known for the complexities in their musical choices.  

The Fall Of Troy is never bashful to show off their overindulgence in their advanced musical prowess, they are a band's band if you will. It’s been about four years since we have been graced with brand new music from the technical masterminds, while we got about three different versions of their OK album back in 2016, it’s a much needed refreshing change of pace for the band to come back with a sound that sort of blends their entire body of work into a concentrated madness that can only be best described as a welcome back to form.

Thomas Erak is on full display with the technical mathy guitar work, bringing on a frantic frenzy of riffage as he aids with banshee roars to lead us into the intro of the song, creating layered harsh vocals that give me a reminiscent vibe of Dallas Taylor’s old school southern metal outfit Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster at times. With a furious unbridled passion as he pleads with us roaring the name of the song, he is letting us know that The Fall Of Troy is here to say. 

Andrew Forsman, the band's drummer shines through the mix on this track. Complex drum rhythms and variation fills the song, complimenting the violent fury presented here with a 16th note hi-hat that blends the song into a melodic groove throughout different sections of the song. The rhythmic devotion from Ward’s bass comes in with a driven melody that compliments the track throughout as it flares with booming brilliance giving the song a much-needed crunch.

The best part of this track is the constant shifts in dynamics, going from aggression to a bouncy verse section that gives the song a lucid dreamlike state. Amid the busy guitar work that drives the entire track forward at a rapidly evolving pace, the song takes time in the bridge to become a haunting march. Thomas Erak’s vocals become a hushed murmur as they offset the intricate instrumentals dulcet insanity behind it. The track is a must for long time fans and new fans, creating a can of worms effect that may open up a whole new world of lunacy that makes you crave more.
