On February 26, 2010, Thomas announced that the band were parting ways following their upcoming "The Marked Men of 2010" tour. Between 2010 and 2013, he formed Just Like Vinyl and joined Chiodos. Andrew Forsman also joined The Monday Mornings, and Frank Black joined Chineke.
The original lineup of The Fall of Troy reunited for three nights in December 2013 in Austin, Texas. Each night, the band performed one of its first three albums (The Fall of Troy, Doppelgänger and Manipulator) in its entirety. During the VIP reunion show, the band announced they would continue making music in 2014 by releasing a free album.
The new album, titled OK, was self-released on April 20th, 2016 (three weeks after its formal announcement) through the band's website for a pay what you want model, in addition to a vinyl release.
As a followup, on May 20th, 2016, the band released an alternate mix of OK simply titled OK #2, which bears more resemblance to their earlier material and production sound. "OK#2 represents a different version of us; the raw fury you hear at our shows and our earlier albums." The band later released instrumental versions of both mixes, entitled OK #3.1 and OK #3.2

The Fall of Troy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sweetest voice sings the Siren's song!
I'm setting myself up, these cuts won't heal... (Breaking the seal)
A benefit, a counterfeit, in these moments I try to understand what's real...
Maybe I'll just take my time getting through these lies.
When attitude has altitude, I won't run to you, your love's so outta tune.
October cold can't bring us close it seems, (You already know!)
It's you I know, it's you I chose, but I don't know, (What you want from me)
But you don't know what is coming.
You have no idea what we have in store for you!
The lyrics of The Fall of Troy's song Rockstar Nailbomb! are intricate and showcase themes of deception, confusion, and betrayal. The song starts with the persona talking about a sweet voice singing the Siren's song which lures sailors to their demise. The persona is setting themselves up, implying that they are preparing for something, and the cuts in their body won't heal, breaking the seal. This line is cryptic, but it points to the fact that the persona is hurt, and the pain is not going away. They are asking themselves what is real, and in these moments of contemplation, they try to grasp it.
The next lines talk about taking the time to go through the lies and not running to someone whose love is out of tune. The October cold is symbolic of the distance between the persona and the recipient of their love. While they initially chose their love interest, they don't know what that person wants from them. In the chorus, the persona is taking charge, stating that they won't be the recipient's crutch and that they ask too much. The song ends with the persona warning their love interest that they have no idea what is coming their way.
Overall, the lyrics of Rockstar Nailbomb! illustrate the persona's confusion, hurt, and warning to their lover that they can't lean on them.
