About We Came As Romans

We Came as Romans, an American metalcore band from Troy, Michigan, formed in 2005.

In the summer of 2006, a close friend of the band and another high school classmate, Larry Clark, officially joined on vocals, and the band changed their name to We Came as Romans. After Clark left in late 2007, the band added Chris Moore as the new singer.
