We Came As Romans - Tracing Back Roots on CD

Description

'Tracing Back Roots' is the third album from Detroit's We Came As Romans .The eleven track opus follows Understanding What We've Grown To Be, which debuted at No. 20 on the Billboard charts. To date, Understanding What We've Grown To Be and the band's debut-full-length, To Plant A Seed, have sold over 183,000 copies combined in the US alone. This time the band teamed with renowned producer John Feldmann [The Used, Black Veil Brides, All Time Low]."It was a true joy to be included in Tracing Back Roots," notes Feldmann. "We Came As Romans push the boundaries of what modern alternative music should be, while staying authentic to their roots. One of the few new bands to keep true to their vision while developing as artists." Lyricist/guitarist Joshua Moore adds, "It was honestly a dream come true for the band to be working with John Feldmann,with him being so well-respected and having produced some of our favourite CDs growing up." The new album most notably showcases vocalist Dave Stephens in a new light, with the incorporation of his clean singing for the first time ever. In addition to his signature powerful, yet articulate, screams, Stephens now also displays rich melodic tones and gritty textures, that perfectly balances the soaring, smooth croons of co-vocalist Kyle Pavone. Musically the album expands on the anthemic, inspiring quality of the band's recently released single "Hope", offering sweeping guitars interlaced with delicate synth interludes and explosive percussive elements. The resulting album is their catchiest and most universally relatable music to date. Moore concludes "I truly believe that this record is all of the best elements of what we have done so far in music, combined with where we want to go and the music we want to play going forward."
