We Came As Romans Debut “Tracing Back Roots”

Tuesday means new music, and at midnight last night We Came As Romans released one of the heaviest songs of their career.

“Tracing Back Roots” is the lead single and title track off We Came As Romans’ insanely anticipated new album due out July 23 through Equal Vision Records. The song leans heavily on the band’s heavier tendencies, with frontman David Stephens guiding listeners through sizzling riffs and crushing drums with a tale of trying to fill the emptiness one feels inside. In typical WCAR fashion, the song manages to find a silver lining amidst what at first seems like a downer of a single, and before the bridge hits you find yourself feeling that familiar-yet-overwhelming sense of hope that band have so masterfully worked into their music over the years. If you don’t find yourself wanting to sing or scream along by the time the gang vocals come in, you may very well be dead inside. Click below to stream “Tracing Back Roots.”

Though the album does not hit stores for six weeks, those interested in hearing “Tracing Back Roots” on the go can purchase the song on iTunes starting today. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on WCAR’s latest.
