we came as romans

The debut album from metalcore newcomers, We Came As Romans, presents an intriguing dynamic where its standout moments occur when the band veers away from typical metalcore conventions. While the album, ‘To Plant A Seed,’ delivers the expected blend of heavy and clean vocals characteristic of the genre, the band’s true potential shines through in the non-metalcore elements. These subtle departures, such as the programmed piano introduction in ‘Broken Statues’ or the striking string arrangement in ‘We Are The Reasons,’ hint at the band’s capacity to innovate within the genre, even though the majority of the album adheres to the established metalcore formula.
