News: Thomas Erak Leaves Chiodos
–Written by Michael Hogan
In some the most conflicting news of the day, Chiodos guitarist Thomas Erak announced via Twitter (see below) that he has left Chiodos in order to devote more attention to his recently resurrected former project, The Fall of Troy, and their highly anticipated upcoming album.
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!

The mind bogglingly technical and unconventional post-hardcore band announced their haitus back in 2010, leaving Erak free to join Chiodos in early 2013. In December of 2013, The Fall of Troy played a few reunion shows in Austin, TX. Since then, they have been hard at work on a self-released, free album, which we should be seeing a bit sooner now, thanks to Erak’s departure from Chiodos.
