The Fall of Troy - Doppelganger

Photobucket

Wow, what can I possibly say about The Fall of Troy? Simply put, this band is just amazing. Flawlessly mixing hardcore and prog to make their own genre, a little thing I like to call: progcore. It surpasses me how this 3-piece band can make such complex music. It also surpasses me how Tomas Erak can sing (sometimes rediculously high) and scream, ALL while shredding insane leads. It is a proven fact that every member of this band is amazing at their instrument. Also, this band are masters at creating interesting and funny track names that make you wonder, "WTF?" Most of the songs on this CD break the verse-chorus-verse mold that many hardcore bands keep. Some songs just jump out at you. Much like the song "Laces Out, Dan!" This song starts off with a build-up that makes you think that something is gunna explode, and then it does into a complex, yet insanely powerful riff that will make you want to jump around and break everything in your house, in a good way. I hope you love this CD, i just can't get enough of it. Doppelganger is one of the CD's that I can listen to over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
