We Came As Romans have released “Born From Nothing,” the first fully new song from All Is Beautiful… Because We’re Doomed: Circularity, an expanded companion to the Michigan metalcore band’s 2025 SharpTone album. The track is streaming now, with a matching visualizer, and pre-orders open Friday, September 25. The full project arrives November 6.
This is not a standard deluxe add-on. Circularity treats last year’s record as a loop rather than a finished line. The original album was built around a cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The new version steps into the space after the last breath and before the next start. Four new songs — “When Everything Is Still,” “Dead Silent” (featuring Make Them Suffer), “Born From Nothing,” and “Speak to Exist” — open the tracklist and sit between the original closer, “Because We’re Doomed,” and the title track “All Is Beautiful…”
Six older songs return as companion versions, rebuilt with collaborators instead of simple guest verses. Currents and After The Burial appear on “bad luck ○.” HEAVENSGATE is on “red smoke ○.” Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker joins “one by one ○.” Ladrones appear on a Spanish-language take of “culture wound ○,” recorded after frontman Dave Stephens learned the language to speak with his wife’s Colombian family. Headwreck and Bury Tomorrow round out the set, the latter contributing a new chorus on “b2tm ○.”
The band has described the collaborations as the response to the original songs’ call. The features, they said, are less guests than part of the same circle — people and scenes already inside the story, now listed on the tracklist. What leaves the studio does not stay the same. It travels, picks up other voices, and comes back changed.
“Born From Nothing” sits at the center of that idea. The band framed it as the moment when motion stops looking like progress: staying busy can be easier than standing still long enough to face old patterns, mistakes, or the ways a person blocks their own path. The song is about surrendering that orbit and asking to start again.
St. Louis will hear the new material live soon. We Came As Romans play The Pageant on Saturday, November 7, on Wage War’s Emergency Broadcast Tour with Varials and Cane Hill. The date falls the night after the album’s release. The fall run also includes Four Chord Festival and Furnace Fest, with the Emo’s Not Dead Cruise scheduled for January 2027.
