Troy von Balthazar was the leader of Chokebore between 1993 and 2005, an
American alternative rock band with a cult following. The musician then pursued
a solo career that was as discreet as it was luminous, during which he released
five albums: the first of the same name in 2005, The TVB LP in 2009, followed by
How to Live on Nothing in 2010, ...Is With the Demon in 2012 and Knights of
Something in 2016.
