Speaking on the collaboration, We Came As Romans vocalist Dave Stephens shares:
“We became friends with Headwreck while touring together in Australia, and we’ve been fans of their music for a while now. What we appreciate about them is their approach to making music and the sense of fun that comes through in everything they do. There’s a great personality to their sound and the way they carry themselves both on and off stage, which made them a perfect fit for ‘where did you go.’ We were excited to hear their take on the song and give them room to bring that part of themselves to it.”
Within CIRCULARITY, four brand new songs explore the space between death and rebirth. ‘WHEN EVERYTHING IS STILL’, ‘DEAD SILENT’ featuring Make Them Suffer, ‘BORN FROM NOTHING’ and ‘SPEAK TO EXIST’ now appear at the front of the tracklist, forming the passage between the closing ‘BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED’ and ‘ALL IS BEAUTIFUL…’ within the original album’s circular structure. Each collaborator on the six reimagined tracks was invited to rework the song in question, taking the collection far beyond the usual ‘guest features’. The result is a collection of companion songs to the originals that feature a brand-new chorus on ‘b2tm O’ courtesy of Bury Tomorrow and flamenco guitar on ‘culture wound O’ which has also now been recorded completely in Spanish, following Dave Stephens becoming fluent so he could communicate with his wife’s Colombian family.
Across its new passage and reimagined collaborations, ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY creates a further phase in album’s cycle that the listener must travel through. Death creates stillness. Stillness creates clarity. Clarity creates choice. From that choice, life becomes possible again.
About We Came As Romans:
We Came As Romans continue to progress at lightspeed, maintaining their place at the forefront of heavy music and culture. Their music brings crushing, groove-driven catharsis, spacey electronics and arena-sized singalongs into constant collision, moving between metalcore, metal, alternative and rock without losing the emotional force at its centre.
The Michigan-born five-piece, Dave Stephens, Joshua Moore, Lou Cotton, Andy Glass and David Puckett, first broke through with Tracing Back Roots in 2013. The album cracked the Billboard 200 Top 10 and reached No. 1 on both the Independent Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. Their self-titled 2015 album followed, debuting at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and cementing their status as modern metalcore royalty.
Following the tragic loss of original vocalist Kyle Pavone in 2018, the band continued to honour his legacy with 2022’s Darkbloom. Kerrang! awarded the album four out of five stars, calling it “a carrier for a knot of emotion, and a tribute to their friend.” It featured ‘Black Hole’ featuring Caleb Shomo, which has surpassed 102 million Spotify streams, and ‘Daggers’ featuring Zero 9:36, which has exceeded 32 million. Loudwire and Consequence were among the outlets to praise the album for its emotional range, sonic heft and unapologetic vulnerability.
With ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY, We Came As Romans expand the life, death and rebirth cycle at the heart of their 2025 album ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED. Four new songs appear at the front of the tracklist, exploring the afterlife between death and reincarnation before the original album begins. Six existing tracks have also been rebuilt with Currents, After The Burial, HEAVENSGATE, Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker, Ladrones, Headwreck and Bury Tomorrow, bringing collaboration and transformation into the structure of the project itself.
