We Came As Romans is a modern metalcore band formed in 2005. Hailing from Troy, Michigan, We Came As Romans are pushing the envelope, combining influences such as the intertwined singing/screaming vocals of Underoath, the theatrical, orchestra-infused metal of Chiodos, the crushing breakdowns of The Devil Wears Prada and the positive lyrics of August Burns Red on their debut Equal Vision release, To Plant A Seed. Their second album, Understanding What We've Grown to Be, released in September 2011 featured a darker tone than their previous album while still maintaining the band's overall theme of positivity and brotherhood. They released their third album titled Tracing Back Roots on July 23, 2013.
On August 25, 2018, the band released a statement on their social media accounts that Kyle Pavone, their vocalist, had died at the age of 28. A few days later, on August 31, the band released a statement that revealed his cause of death as an accidental drug overdose and announced that a foundation had been started in his honor.
On September 11, 2018, Dave Stephens released a statement about the band via social media, confirming that the band will not replace Kyle Pavone. Dave confirmed that the band will go on tour with Bullet for My Valentine and Bad Omens as scheduled, honoring Kyle and talking about his foundation.
Signed to Equal Vision Records (announced April 16th) after being named Alternative Press’ “Best Unsigned Band” early 2009.
