Thomas Erak’s voice in its prime was just so perfect for the genre. The perfect amount of whininess, fullness, and crisp screams that he made sounded effortless. An additional note: The fact that a song like this was conceived as early as 2004 blows my mind. “Emo” kids these days have no idea how much inspiration their favorite bands like MCR, Black Veil Brides, etc. took from a band like TFOT.

This song is so sick. Still one of the hardest songs I’ve ever heard

imo this is the best part of the ghosthip series, i could listen to it forever.

This takes me back to being a kid riding my BMX bike and remember this music was like fuel to do the impossible. This is definitely the best version! The old stuff is the best! The ending is a masterpiece! 🤟 wish these guys would come back

Dude he plays guitar the way he does and sings at the same time, I try to imagine doing that and my brain crashes.

i think this is my favorite TFOT song. the words and the music just paint such an amazing picture it totally rocks my socks

havent listened to this song in about 5 yrs, just had a dream and this song started playing in it, woke up and had to listen to it again

Fuck me, I love this song. Shivers up my spine, I swear to God. The shoot to kill part just makes me go crazy, full volume with my headphones on, haha

this version sounds so much cooler than the new one. i love phantom on the horizon but theres way too much random noise. this is just perfect. the ending is like the best part and they kinda ruined it on phantom :( but thomas' singing is way better now.

i so love the starting part of this song. the mood is, incredible. fall of troy kicks ass.

5:40 - 7:03 so dramatic, so epic

If you're still listening to this in 2022 you have officially reached SS3

no real differences, just that these were demos when they were unsigned and not on a cd in stores. so when they signed to epitaph records, theyredid the sonds on an official cd by popular demand.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, the ending gives me fucking chills everytime man.

the end of this song is epic, the part tim is screaming at the end is awsome.

the screams really help the franticness of the story during this chapter

i love TFoT and i play guitar. i learn there songs to get better... it works but it takes like a year to get one song down. Thomas Erak is a GOD

6:15 The over layering vocals sends chills down my spine everytime. I'm one of those people who likes Phantom on the Horizon more, but that's one part in the demo that has the remixes beat :]

This track always finds its way onto my Halloween mixes. "Shoot to kill, but they just won't die!"

Once it hits 5:56 I start getting goosebumps. At 6:12 I have to close my eyes, it gets hard to breathe, and my eyes start tearing up. I bet watching me listen to this song would be interesting, to say the least. Effects me so much.

sickest song EVER the breakdown! i think i just came! :D

Wow this is sucha great song by such a great band....best ghostship by far!!!!!!this song is perfect for snowbarding 2 ;P

such an original sound... i love them

Wish they went in this direction. I love Doppelganger but man everything after I just haven't been able to get into.

the stars scream ouutttt and spew our nammeessss

why did Thomas change the intro for Phantom, on Ghostship it actually sounds like wind and fog on the sea? Why change the sound of the bass line?

my favorite is part V for sure

dude its so eerie and sick i love it

favorite of all the ghostship songs

godly

The Fall of Troy that could have been....

Ghostship 4ever

this is the best part out of all of them that i listened to

the special effects are so awesome in this, i like it.

this my favorite ghostship part, if not my favorite song by them. so much emotion is put into this i love it. check out my cover of it if anyone would like to.

the chorus screaming/rapping part is the most amazing thing ever!!!

the end is amazing!

wow Genial me gusta mucho Phantom on the horizon y estas versiones de ghostship son muy buenas :)

I think "we better learn to hotwire a uterus" is amazing.

crazy guitar work.

i'd pay $100 just to see tfot play the entire ghostship series.

same man...very mysterous

good picture chose for the song

Daaaaaang this rocks!

great band!

the definition of music is the fall of troy

I luuuuuuuuuuv the reverb and echo they use on their guitars. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I miss then

greatest bAnd evR !!

Such a rad intro

the ending is so beautiful, it literally makes the world go round

I like the beat that starts at 4:00 right mintage!!

it makes me think of Halloween

If you like TFOT check out Sunrise and Ammunition. They are a local band in Friendswood, TX they are releasing a CD soon in December. The lead singer doesn't have Thomas's voice but Sunrise's sound is based a lot around TFOT. I heard them not too long and it definitely brought me back to TFOT days.

00:10 song finally starts

6:00..... MY GOD.

I can't wait what they'll cook up for next year. I hope it's going to be amazing, since we can see here they *have* what it takes.

Can't wait to see them in late September, gonna totally lose my mind.

Pero que joya desde el 2010 es mi única banda favorita me encanta esta canción que ricaaaaaaaaaaa música me fascina me empepa

epic band is epic

Everything is going down......

agreed

yeah...gonna be called something like phantom on the horizon or something like that. heard about it ages ago. im also gonna be well happy when their split EP with the number twelve looks like you comes out =) x

*Sheds a hardcore tear*

this should sound in a video game!!!!! FCKING EPIC SOUNDTRACK

Too.Fucking.Epic.

The only band I enjoy in this genre

Somebody really needs to create a video to go along with this song... especially the ending... fucking epic.

I like the new one but I like the tempo here wayyy better. And the rawness. Casey Bates, you're cool as shit, but honestly TFOT are raw as fuck when it comes to rocking out. 2:00-2:45. RADiculous. having said that Phantom on the Horizon is an epic perfection of these songs (great thanks to CB)

great way to conclude a song

this is 1 of there more pop sounding/easy on the ears songs. if you dont like this, i advise not listening to anything else by them other than quarter past or caught up imho, G0dOfThings

wow, this song is fucking amazing.

hey, was that concert in chicago? if it was i was there too. its what got me into the fall of troy too.

From 5:40 on, it's just amazing.

this would be a great intro for ghostship the movie

very jazz influenced

i really wish there was a live version of this. i know there are some but they arent really amazing quality atm. like the video and the sound are glitchy on the live versions of this cover. hope someone records an amazing live version of this soon ^_^ x

nah man POTH is a masterpiece.

@theanimal6592 I'm not sure haha, cause thomas was born in march of 1985, but then again you could be right, i wouldn't doubtthat these were written in highschool

I'm making a piano version of this :] I'm using the demo, not introverting conversions because of the 3 minute difference :P

2020

This is their best song and this version is better than the remake they did

i have no idea where to get the self titled or ghostship demos, amazon has self titled but i say screw amazon, but wher are the albums? no store i have visited have the 2.

yea

where can i find this!

@kh2freek I know, but the band left a mark that needs to be recognized

i know right how old were they here like 19 or 20?

CCCCCccccccooooooooookkkkkkkiiiiiiieeeesssss.

Where'd you find the VERY first image?

it is.

how can yu buy the ghost ship demos?? or where

the one dislike is the captian of the ghoship XD

how many parts are there? i know of 4

@ULTIMAespada well i memorize the song in like a week or 2. i just practice getting it down (practically) perfect in sections.

i cant wait for phantom of the horizon

?...wow

I wouldn't say scary. I'd say more like, awesome.

wow nobody commented on this video in the past 2 years

its ridiculous how some ppl think the number 12 looks like you is on the same level or even better than these guys.

best comment on youtube.
