We Came As Romans have released “BORN FROM NOTHING,” the first brand new song from ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY, out November 6 via Sharptone Records. Pre-orders open Friday, September 25.
The album takes the life, death and rebirth cycle at the heart of their 2025 record and explores the liminal space between its final breath and its next beginning. Four brand new songs follow the self out of physical life, through the afterlife and toward rebirth, while six existing tracks have been rebuilt through collaborations.
“CIRCULARITY isn’t just a deluxe edition with more songs. It’s a bigger version of the album that brings it back to where it started,” the band explains. “Each original song was the call, and each collaboration became the response, turning what was a straight line into a loop. We sent these songs out into the world, they connected us with people who have become part of our lives, and they came back to us changed, carrying another voice. The features aren’t guests so much as our circle.”
“‘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. Sometimes it’s easier to stay in motion than to be still long enough to face your past, your mistakes, or the ways you’ve stood in your own way. The song captures that moment of surrender, when you stop circling who you used to be and ask for the chance to begin again.”

The Collaborators
Each collaborator was invited to rework their song rather than simply appear on it. Make Them Suffer, Currents, After The Burial, HEAVENSGATE, Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker, Ladrones, Headwreck and Bury Tomorrow all take part.
The results go well past the usual guest feature. Bury Tomorrow contribute an entirely new chorus on “b2tm O,” while “culture wound O” adds flamenco guitar and has been re-recorded completely in Spanish, following vocalist Dave Stephens becoming fluent so he could communicate with his wife’s Colombian family.
