We Came as Romans, the Troy, Michigan band's self-titled 2015 album, is the sound of a metalcore crew going for the big room: the breakdowns still hit hard, but big, clean hooks ride on top, and "The World I Used To Know" is built around a chorus made for thousands of voices. It was their fourth studio album, and it came near the end of their Equal Vision years: they had been on the label since 2009 and moved to SharpTone in 2016.
The band formed in 2005, went through a name change and a string of lineup shuffles, and put out two EPs, Demonstrations and Dreams, in 2008 before To Plant a Seed opened their album run in 2009. Guitarist Joshua Moore has been there from the start, guitarist Lou Cotton and bassist Andy Glass signed on in 2006, and Kyle Pavone sang lead from 2008 to 2018. After Understanding What We've Grown to Be and Tracing Back Roots came the self-titled record, then Cold Like War, Darkbloom and All Is Beautiful... Because We're Doomed.
