Modern metalcore mainstays We Came As Romans have shared another new single from their as-yet untitled upcoming record — this is ‘Black Hole’. The high-octane music video for the new song can be viewed below.
On ‘Black Hole’, the band says: “‘Black Hole’ was the very last song we wrote for the record… We had this idea of what we wanted it to sound like, and we wrote a bunch of music for it throughout our time in LA [Los Angeles], but we were never really satisfied. With only a week left in the studio, we had finally created something that we were all stoked about.”
Furthermore, lead vocalist Dave Stephens remarks: “The lyrics to ‘Black Hole’ are about dealing with the anxiety that you feel going through life. For me, it was the anxiety I was feeling in dealing with loss and the grieving process [in relation to the tragic passing of co-vocalist, Kyle Pavone in 2018]. …We wanted to leave the song open-ended enough for our fans to relate to, with anything they were going through.”
Stephens finishes: “When the song was complete, we sent it over to a long time friend of ours — Caleb Shomo… we’re so happy we’ve finally had the chance to collaborate on a song.”
‘Black Hole’ and the prior single ‘Darkbloom’ are due to feature on We Came As Romans’ upcoming record, which is due for release via Sharptone Records either in late 2021 or 2022. For more on We Came As Romans and metalcore in general, stay with us on Boolin Tunes.
