Michigan metalcore titans We Came As Romans have released their powerful new album 'ALL IS BEAUTIFUL...BECAUSE WE'RE DOOMED' today, via Sharptone Records. The release is highlighted by the release of focus track 'one by one' and arrives as the band's US leg of their massive Bad Luck World Tour nears the end of its climactic final week, with sold-out crowds across North America witnessing the band's most ambitious era yet. Stream'ALL IS BEAUTIFUL...BECAUSE WE'RE DOOMED' HERE and watch the video for "one by one" HERE.
"one by one" confronts the band's history with destructive patterns head-on, serving as both a reckoning and a commitment to breaking cycles that have haunted them throughout their career. Built on crushing riffs and the band's signature melodic power, the track features lyrical callbacks to their past while emphasizing the hard-won growth that comes from facing your demons.
Providing further context for today's release, We Came As Romans frontman, Dave Stephens shares
"We first wrote One by One on an acoustic guitar with raw vocals, and right away we knew we had something special. Even though the rest of the song took time to shape, that initial spark carried us through and made the journey worth it. At its heart, the lyrics reflect the process of healing—acknowledging mistakes, facing flaws, and slowly piecing yourself back together, one by one. I couldn’t be more excited to finally share this song and the story it tells with everyone."
The single arrived earlier this week, as anticipation reached fever pitch for 'ALL IS BEAUTIFUL...BECAUSE WE'RE DOOMED', the band's most conceptually ambitious work to date. The album—a 12-track journey that literally loops from its final seconds back to its beginning—explores two decades of the band's history through a philosophical lens of death, rebirth, and transformation. Following the release of "bad luck," "no rest for the dreamer," "culture wound," and "where did you go?," "one by one" completes the picture of an album that refuses to shy away from the darkest corners of the band's journey.
