Thomas Erak Has Left CHIODOS

by Ryan Minic | Dec 10, 2014

We were taken by surprise when The Fall of Troy vocalist/guitarist Thomas Erak joined Chiodos last year. He appeared on the band’s latest album Devil, which came out this past spring.

As you know, The Fall of Troy reactivated over a year ago and have slowly been picking up steam. They’re currently working on their new album, and Erak is now focusing his efforts full-time on TFOT.

Hey guys, I have stepped down as the guitarist for Chiodos to focus on TFOT’s new album and home life. I wish those guys the best with all!

All we gotta say is, we’re looking forward to new stuff from The Fall of Troy in 2015.
