Recorded with up-and-coming producer Joey Sturgis (The Devil Wears Prada, Emarosa, Attack Attack) at his Foundation Recording Studio, the 10-song follow-up to their breakout EP, Dreams, finds the band expanding their blend of pop-infused metal.
Although recorded with the same producer, there is still an intentional difference between the two albums. We Came As Romans didn't let the fact that they are only a six-piece hold them back from achieving a more symphonic sound on To Plant A Seed. "I played the trombone from Elementary school until I graduated high school and I always took the sound of a symphonic band or an orchestra with me," explains Moore of their decision to add orchestral elements to the album such as the violins, brass, and piano interlaced throughout the album's dynamic layers.
Not unlike the EP, the lyrics on To Plant A Seed reflect We Came As Romans' goal of spreading a positive message through their music. The band hopes, "when people hear the album, they might not change the way they think or the way they act right now, but hopefully we've planted that 'seed', that thought of love, and it can grow."
The theme of the album is carried through to the artwork. Painted by acclaimed artist Paul Romano (Mastodon, Chiodos), the album cover depicts a "very innocent looking boy in which the 'seed' has been planted in his mind and it grows to his heart, out of his palms and becomes branches," describes Moore.
ABOUT IN FEAR AND FAITH--
Formed in 2006 in San Diego, CA, In Fear & Faith wasted little time establishing a hometown audience with their blend of furious instrumentation, electronic flourishes, and screamo vocals. Members Tyler McElhaney, Mehdi Niroomand, Noah Slifka, Cody Anderson, and Ramin Niroomand also embraced elements of heavy metal, and the resulting hybrid helped earn them a contract with Rise Records. Your World on Fire, the group's debut effort, was subsequently released in early 2009.
ABOUT CONFIDE--
Confide was formed by Joshua Plesh, Aaron Van Zuthpen, Billy Pruden, Jason Pickard and Jeffrey Helberg. They were in the same youth group and wanted to start a hardcore band. Two EP's were recorded in this formation: Innocence Surround and Introduction.
In the end of 2006, drummer Jason Pickard left the band and was replaced by John Paul Penton. Joshua Plesh also left the band. Ross Kenyon (who was fronting Penknifelovelife at that time) contacted Jeffey Helberg through the internet and told him he wanted to sing in an American band because his girlfriend lived there.
After being in the States for three months, Ross was forced to move back to England and John decided to quit the band.
In July Ross moved back to California and Arin Ilejay joined the band on the drums. In this formation they recorded Shout The Truth and their videoclip for PlayIf We Were A Sinking Ship.
In March 2009 two new members were introduced to the band: Joshua Paul and Joel Piper. Aaron and Arin left the band because they wanted a normal life off the road.
With Joel taking over the clean vocals, they re-recorded Shout The Truth and also a cover of The Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights'. They also recorded a videoclip for that song.
In August 2009 Billy Pruden, bassplayer and founding member, left the band to do Biblical studies to move into full time ministry. He was replaced by Trevor Vickers.
Vickers was introduced on their national headliner tour 'Thriller Tour' with Agraceful. They also recorded a video for 'I Never Saw It Coming' in September.
In December 2009 the band recorded their new album with Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, Attack Attack!). The album is set to release in May 2010.
