Fall of Troy bassist takes leave of absence, band plays on

In a message on the band's MySpace, the Fall of Troy have informed their fans that bassist Tim is taking leave of the band. In their own words:

We have been in a band with Tim for almost 6 years now and we love him very much, but he is burnt out on touring right now. So he is going to drop off of this tour with us to go home and take some time off. No hard feelings from us.

They go on to say that their "friend Frank" will be filling in for the rest of the tour with Coheed and Cambria and Clutch. They go on to reassure fans that the band is not stopping or slowing down at all.
The band is supporting this year's Manipulator.
