Boomtown Records is set to release the debut album by US metalcore powerhouse, We Came As Romans. Titled "To Plant A Seed", the album has already sold over 40,000 copies in the USA in a short time. The release will coincide with the band's maiden Australian trip, as part of the massive No Sleep Till touring festival. They are currently preparing for a month long European tour with Australian heroes Parkway Drive, who are also part of the No Sleep Till lineup.
We Came As Romans are a force to be reckoned with. Having mastered the art of self promotion and self booking early on, the band has since garnered a colossal fan base and kept themselves on the road, only stopping long enough to record. Tireless and tour-hungry, We Came As Romans are pushing the envelope. Working with producer Joey Sturgis (The Devil Wears Prada, Emarosa, Attack Attack!) To Plant A Seed is laden with intricate guitar riffs, both moshtastic and melodic breakdowns, and commanding screaming from vocalist David Stephens tempered with co-vocalist Kyle Pavone’s adept singing voice. Just as important as the musical content, the message behind the music is something the band holds dear.
“To Plant A Seed embodies a really strong message we’ve always held as a band and that’s the simple fact to just love other people and to love in general,” explains Joshua Moore, guitarist and key lyricist of the band. “Hopefully this album will plant a seed, or idea, of love into people’s minds. The whole concept is that hopefully the practice of loving other people will only grow.”
Boomtown Records will release "To Plant A Seed" on November 26th in Australia. Pre-Orders with a T-shirt package will be available via JB Hifi Online, Fist2Face and Kill the Music starting October 12th.
