Metal Anarchy

We Came As Romans‘ Dave Stephens has confirmed to Billboard that the band have been writing and “throwing a few demos around” for their next album. The effort will be the group’s first since the tragic death of Kyle Pavone.

Stephens said the following:

“We’ve been throwing a few demos around. I love that we’re going into the studio with so much to write about and something that hits home for all of us so hard. We’ve never had something so terrible happen, and I think it’s going to be therapeutic to write about it and be together and go through the whole process. I’m actually really looking forward to it.”

“Every record we make some kind of progression, so there’ll be a progression on this one, but I don’t think we’re going to do anything too drastic. It’s still gonna sound like We Came As Romans.”

He also added that the band are hoping to use some of Pavone‘s final writings for the effort:

“He was always writing, and I’m pretty sure he gave Lou [Cotton], our guitarist, a few different things he wrote. We’re gonna try and get into his laptop, too, ’cause I’m sure he had just files and files and files of stuff there, too. So that’s a goal. We would love to include him in this record as much as we can, aside from just writing about him.”
