To Plant a Seed is the debut album by the US post-hardcore / trancecore band We Came as Romans from Troy , Michigan . It was released on November 3rd, 2009 via Redfield Records ( Europe ) and Equal Vision Records (worldwide). To Plant a Seed was produced by Joey Sturgis . This album also includes the two tracks "Dreams" and "Intentions" from the 2008 self-released Dreams EP , which was also produced by Sturgis. Tyler Smith from The Word Alive can be heard as guest singer in the piece "Intentions".
The sound can be described as Metalcore- heavy post-hardcore; Due to the influence of electronic music , the classification in the trancecore genre is absolutely correct. Due to the orchestral insertions, the sound is quite melodious, like in symphonic metal .
Due to the mostly positive lyrics, the group is often assigned to Christian Metal within the scene . The band does not describe themselves as a Christian band as their lyrics do not take up Christian themes. However, some of the members of the group are devout Christians. The album has sold 77,000 copies worldwide and entered the US charts at number 175. While To Plant a Seed received mostly positive feedback in the trade press, the album received rather mixed reviews in online music portals.
Emergence
prehistory
After the band recorded and produced their Dreams EP on their own with producer Joey Sturgis in 2008, We Came as Romans was signed by Equal Vision Records in April 2009 . The group booked and financed the production of this EP itself, which is why the musicians had to work at McDonald’s for a while to cover the costs. The EP received pretty positive reviews, so the label signed a record deal with the group. In November We Came as Romans moved into the studio again with Joey Sturgis to start recording the album.
Production and publication
To Plant a Seed was produced by Joey Sturgis at The Foundation Recording Studio in Connersville , Indiana . The studio work lasted from November 2008 to May 2009.
Two music singles were created for the album: To Plant a Seed , the single of the same name for the album, was released on May 11, 2010 along with a music video. The second single, To Move on Is to Grow , was released on December 14th of the same year. The latter single was created when the group moved into the studio with Sturgis between June 15 and June 20, 2010. To Move on Is to Grow was not recorded on the regular album, but only on the deluxe edition as a bonus track. The music video for the piece can also be found on the DVD. This DVD also contains additional material: The recordings were made at various concerts by the band. The live recordings of “Roads That Don't End and Views That Never Cease” on September 3, 2010 come from their concert at Peabody's in Cleveland , Ohio ; "To Move on Is to Grow," "Intentions," "To Plant a Seed" and "We Are the Resons" were filmed five days later at the New Brookland Tavern in Columbia , South Carolina . The music video for To Move on Is to Grow was directed by Dan Dobi.
The regular album was released on November 3, 2009 and the deluxe edition was released on January 18, 2011. In May 2012, it was announced that the album would be released as a vinyl record in one edition along with "Understanding What We've Grown to Be" of 2,000 pieces should be reissued via Equal Vision Records . These were finally published on June 19, 2012.
Cover
The cover shows a boy with trees sprouting from his hands. The roots are connected to the nervous system. According to singer Joshua Moore, the cover should reflect the content of the album. According to Moore, "the innocent-looking boy has had a seed planted in his mind that will grow to his heart." The cover was created by graphic designer Paul Romano, who previously worked for Mastodon and Chiodos .
Songs and position on religion
The lyrics and music of the songs found on the album were written and composed by guitarist Joshua Moore in collaboration with David Stephens (vocals) and Kyle Pavone (keyboards). According to an interview with the online magazine Kill Your Stereo , Moore wrote a large part of his lyrics in his spare time and only, according to him, 15 percent during concert tours.
The musicians' positive attitude towards life in their lyrics alone was often attributed to the band's Christian background. The band denies that the lyrics are intended to convey religious or political messages, but the band does not deny that some of the musicians within the band are devout Christians . The band also does not see the discussion as to whether We Came as Romans is a Christian metal band or not as problematic.

All of the band's lyrics convey a positive message. According to Josh Moore, the whole album is a step-by-step guide to a happy life without losing happiness.
However, because of these lyrics, the group is often assumed to be a religious metalcore band, which the group denies. Quoting from the Bible also leads to this discussion.
- In To Plant a Seed it is described at the beginning how a wonderful tree grows from a planted seed, where every branch looks different and old fragile branches and twigs are replaced by new ones. In the further course the musicians compare their life with this imaginary tree.
- Broken Statues is to be understood metaphorically: This song says that people strive for renewal. A religious background can be found in this song for the first time (“Show me your hands, let me wash them clean”). It is aimed at people who "hate" and shows them that it is never too late to change their life.
- Intentions is one of two songs from the Dreams EP that were re-recorded. Tyler Smith from The Word Alive can be heard as a guest musician . The text should convey, among other things, that man cannot live without the community and that one cannot love a certain person without first having learned to love all people.
- Roads That Don't End and Views That Never Cease describes a long distance relationship. Some of the musicians were in a relationship at times, but the band's life largely consisted of touring, so keeping in touch with family and friends was difficult.
- Dreams is the second new interpretation from the Dreams EP which was produced without a record label at the time. Critics praised the fact that the group was able to improve the sound of Dreams and Intentions a lot, which sounded a lot like chaos on the EP. This piece is about a person who goes the wrong way, which breaks the heart of the protagonist.
- We Are the Reasons describes that people are the cause of social problems. At the same time, however, he is also able to eliminate these problems. The song is supposed to say that humans can solve these problems independently. However, it is described that passions and illness have a negative effect on people.
- In Beliefs , the protagonist tries to address people specifically about trust in life, but comes across a negative reaction. Towards the end of the piece, love is referred to as an “infinite miracle”. He urges people to forget what they have learned in life, as this cannot be the answer to life.
- I Will Not Reap Destruction has a deeper meaning: It describes the position of individual musicians in We Came as Romans towards religion. The piece also quotes the Galatians from the New Testament . ( "I will not reap destruction, but life instead" , Galatians verse 4)
- Searching, Seeking, Reaching, Always should be a motivation to become a better person. It is said that it will not be easy, but by acting and trying independently, the goal can be achieved in the end.
- An Ever-Growing Wonder is about a relationship between two people who have had bad experiences in previous relationships. It is described that the two people have to support each other because they are easily vulnerable due to their past. On the other hand, it is required that one should always be true to oneself and not pretend to be someone else in order to build a happy life.
- To Move on Is to Grow is a piece that aims to make it clear that every step forward means growing internally and becoming an adult. Here, too, it becomes clear that many people take the “wrong path” and follow a wrong motivation, which the group tries to convey.

music
The band's music on “To Plant a Seed” can be described as Metalcore- heavy post-hardcore . Due to the frequent use of keyboards , the genre description Trancecore on To Plant a Seed is also applicable. Sometimes trumpets , violins and other string instruments can also be heard, which gives the sound an additional orchestral effect, sometimes similar to symphonic metal (example: intentions ). Noisecreep describes the style as a mix of Killswitch Engage , Horse the Band and Nightwish . This was partially denied by the band.
The frequent alternation of growls , screams and clean vocals is also a characteristic of post-hardcore. It is noticeable that the group uses three singers for the recordings, Kyle Pavone (keyboard), Joshua Moore ( front singer ) and Andy Glass ( bass guitar ). The clean vocals dominate the whole album. “Gang vocals”, which can be found quite often in hardcore , are very rare in the album. The music is composed by the band's musicians themselves and the lyrics are also written in-house.
Texts
All songs on the album convey a positive message and accordingly do not allow negative news. In an interview with the German-language online magazine Burn Your Ears , the band admitted that they were wearing rose-colored glasses at the time. In another interview Joshua Moore revealed that the entire album should convey how you find out how to shape your own life in such a way that you are happy, which steps you have to take to reach your goal without losing luck:
“The CD as a whole is about figuring out how to be happy with the life you have and how to take the necessary steps to get one step closer to the life you want without being happy to lose."
Because of their positive attitudes in the lyrics on To Plant a Seed , the group was often counted among the Christian metalcore bands. In Metal Hammer this "positive and life-affirming attitude" is named as a reason for this discussion. In fact, some of the musicians in the band are devout Christians, but the group does not count itself as a Christian band, as the group does not try to convey political or religious topics with their lyrics:
"We have Christian dudes in our band and we have non-Christian dudes in our band, and as a whole, we're not a Christian band. We definitely get it, but we also get it a lot because our music, as a whole, has a positive message to it, and there aren't a whole lot of bands with a positive message who aren't Christian bands. Typically, it's just Christian bands who promote a positive message. Just because we have a message, and it's not about killing each other, we get the Christian band tag. "

On the Redfield Records homepage , the album was described as a mix of Chiodos , August Burns Red , The Devil Wears Prada and Underoath :
“WE CAME AS ROMANS tirelessly pushes their limits and combine influences like the intertwined singing and screaming of Underoath, the theatrical, orchestral-inspired Metal of Chiodos and the devastating breakdowns of The Devil Wears Prada on their debut album“ To Plant A Seed ” with the positive lyrics by August Burns Red. "
To promote the album, the group toured extensively in the United States . The group supported the “The Emptiness” tour from February to March 2010 together with Alesana , A Skylit Drive , The Word Alive and Of Mice & Men . This was followed by the “We Are Not Meaningless” tour in April and May together with Four Letter Lie and Life on Repeat as support. Whitechapel , I See Stars , Miss May I , The Devil Wears Prada, Lets Get It , VersaEmerge and Our Last Night also played on individual shows . The third and final tour followed directly after the headlining tour. This was called the “Welcome To The Circus” tour and ran from May to June 2010. The group played with Asking Alexandria , From First to Last , Our Last Night and A Bullet for Pretty Boy .
The single To Move on Is to Grow was first released in August 2010 on the band's official presence on Facebook . The other single, To Plant a Seed , was released on the Equal Vision Records Compilation New Sounds 2011, alongside bands like Pierce the Veil , Texas in July and Mozart Season, exclusively on iTunes . This single also appeared on the sampler This Is Emo which was released in 2010. This sampler also features Katzenstreik , Atreyu , Funeral for a Friend , Thrice and Distance in Embrace .
The distribution of the album via the German label Redfield Records came about because both the label and the band were looking for a good partner in Europe and became aware of the Düsseldorf record company. In the meantime, fans of the band were able to listen to the entire album in full length in advance on Myspace . A music video for "Roads That Don't End and Views That Never Cease" was also released. In Germany , buyers of His Statue Falls' debut album Collisions had the opportunity to download a song from To Plant a Seed free of charge from 7digital . However, a regulated advertising campaign turned out to be difficult because the album was released late in Europe. It was published on September 24, 2010. Equal Vision had already carried out several promotions on its own. In Europe, in contrast to the US market, the album was released as a 4-sided digipak .
The group is now under contract with the Donzdorf label Nuclear Blast .
Reviews
English language reviews
The British online magazine Rock Sound rated the album with 6 points and wrote that the production was very successful. In the online community AbsolutePunk.net , the critic awarded 64 percentage points and named among other things the constant sounding of the same sound as one of the reasons for the rather average rating. In the community, the album achieved only 3 percentage points less, or 61.
Andrew Leahey from Allmusic awarded 2.5 out of 5 points. Jason Schreurs of Alternative Press rated the album similarly . He awarded 1.5 out of 5 stars. The album also only received 1.5 points in the Rinse Repeat Review.
To Plant a Seed also only received an average rating at Sputnikmusic . Ultimate-Guitar rated the album positively with 9.1 out of 10 points. Ryan Tallman from The New Review gave To Plant a Seed 4.5 out of 5 stars . He himself describes the group as a Christian metal band and compares the group with Underoath , The Chariot and The Devil Wears Prada . He also recommends the band for fans of Blessthefall . James Shotwell from Under the Gun Reviews again rated the album average and awarded only 6.5 out of 10 possible points. He is of the opinion that the album could have been a "milestone" in this scene if the album had been released a year earlier.
In the British music magazine Kerrang was To Plant a Seed described as an album that unsuitable for listeners of raw Metalcore is, however, the album because of the tinged influences from electronic music have an interesting sound that also in the mainstream of commercial pop music could establish. The English edition of Metal Hammer even states that the album "makes a boring sound interesting again". The critic particularly praises the tracks “To Plant a Seed” and “Dreams” for the massive use of orchestral sounds.
German-language reviews
Markus Eck from the editorial team of the online mail order company EMP was visibly enthusiastic about To Plant a Seed . He wrote that there is hardly a melodic metalcore band that is able to write positive lyrics. He also shows appreciation for the high musical quality of the band.
“Impressive, very much. So it is a very special pleasure for me to write this review - because it is extremely rare for a US melodic metalcore band to create such positive lyrical music. And that even with such high degrees of hardness! Fundamental: We Came As Romans come from Troy, Michigan and "To plant a seed" is finally the current European release of their debut album, which was previously released in the USA. Furthermore: The disc is so good that everything seems too late! So, even if you don't get into that kind of style, everyone just has to acknowledge the huge musical quality of the very young sextet. Shouting David Stephens and clear singer Kyle Pavone deliver dreamy vocal duets and duels - if you seriously ignore it, it's your own fault. Founded in 2005, the great creative and technical maturity of the resourceful six is a constant amazement. A welcome publication, then, which nourishes its gigantic charm above all from the creators' boundless love for life itself. "
The critic of the online magazine Allschools, on the other hand, shows less enthusiasm and describes that the band's mistake in this album is the structure, which sounds almost identical in every song. In addition, the critic describes the drums and guitar playing as "08/15", which nevertheless knows how to convince in some passages. Because of the almost constant song structure, so the critic, the insertions of electronic and classical elements are useless.
The-Pit.de gave 9 out of 10 possible points and is of the opinion that the band is suitable for fans of Asking Alexandria , The Devil Wears Prada , but also for other metalcore fans. The quality of the music is also praised, which does not sound like emocore à la A Skylit Drive .
The Helldriver Magazine awarded 4 of 7 points and praised the abundant use of orchestral inserts and describes this as a serious difference to other bands in modern metalcore scene. However, it is criticized that the band lacks the special song ideas and that the breakdowns rarely hide them.
Jan Ahrens from FUZE Magazine describes that the shouts of David Stephens show parallels to For the Fallen Dreams , whereas he compares the dominant clear vocals with Our Last Night in good moments . However, he is also of the opinion that this clear vocals can get on your nerves quickly. The melodic basic component makes the sound interesting and varied. As an example he cites the song Intentions , where he is enthusiastic about the “classic intermezzo”. However, he only considers the album to be average.
