We Came As Romans have released “BORN FROM NOTHING,” the first new song from their upcoming album ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY.

The project arrives November 6 via SharpTone Records, with pre-orders opening September 25. Rather than a standard deluxe edition, CIRCULARITY expands the life, death, and rebirth cycle at the center of the band’s 2025 album ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED, adding four new songs and six reimagined collaborations.

“BORN FROM NOTHING” sits at the center of that expanded concept. The song explores the feeling of being caught in the same cycles and realizing that motion does not always mean progress. For a band that has spent years turning grief, survival, and transformation into massive heavy music, the track lands as both a continuation and a reset.

“CIRCULARITY isn’t just a deluxe edition with more songs,” the band shared. “It’s a bigger version of the album that brings it back to where it started. Each original song was the call, and each collaboration became the response, turning what was a straight line into a loop.”

That idea shapes the full release. Four new songs, “WHEN EVERYTHING IS STILL,” “DEAD SILENT” featuring Make Them Suffer, “BORN FROM NOTHING,” and “SPEAK TO EXIST,” now appear at the front of the tracklist. Together, they form a passage between the original album’s closing track “BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED” and its opening track “ALL IS BEAUTIFUL…,” reinforcing the circular structure behind the record.

The six reimagined tracks bring in collaborators including Currents, After The Burial, HEAVENSGATE, Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker, Ladrones, Headwreck, and Bury Tomorrow. Each artist was invited to rebuild the song in question, pushing the project beyond a simple guest feature format and into something closer to a response piece.

Among the new versions, “b2tm O” features a brand-new chorus from Bury Tomorrow, while “culture wound O” features Ladrones and was recorded completely in Spanish, following Dave Stephens becoming fluent so he could communicate with his wife’s Colombian family.

Across the new songs and collaborations, ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY extends the emotional architecture of the original album. The band frames the project around death, stillness, clarity, choice, and the possibility of beginning again.

“The new songs explore the other side of that circle: what we carry forward, what we have to leave behind, and what it costs to keep repeating the past,” the band shared. “‘BORN FROM NOTHING’ sits at the center of that. It’s about being trapped in the same cycles and realizing that constantly moving isn’t the same as moving forward.”

The release continues a major creative period for We Came As Romans, who have remained one of modern metalcore’s most emotionally direct and sonically expansive bands. The Michigan five-piece, Dave Stephens, Joshua Moore, Lou Cotton, Andy Glass, and David Puckett, continues to build songs that move between crushing heaviness, electronic atmosphere, and arena-sized melodic release without losing the human weight at the center.

The band will also spend the fall on the road across North America, including dates with Wage War, Varials, Cane Hill, and The Funeral Portrait, along with appearances at Four Chord Festival, Furnace Fest, and the 2027 Emo’s Not Dead Cruise.

ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY arrives November 6 via SharpTone Records.
