WE CAME AS ROMANS

I AM DARKBLOOM

• I AM DARKBLOOM •

Time for We Came As Romans to take over the stage and blow the roof off of the venue. Feeding the crowds hunger for chaos, they kicked off the set with Daggers. They played an hour long set with songs off of albums Darkbloom, Cold Like War, and Tracing Back Roots. It was straight banger after banger! These guys play with an energy so high it’s unreal, later in the set they paid tribute to the late Kyle pavone, the bands original frontman, with One More Day as keyboardist-now-vocalist Dave Stephens sang to the crowd from an empty, dimly lit stage. The track is deeply emotional and it was felt throughout the Worcester venue — whether each individual was grieving Kyle or someone near and dear. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t shed a few tears during this one. As the track faded out and Dave left the stage, a single spotlight was left to signify kyle’s eternal spot with the group — It was a hauntingly beautiful moment.

Setlist: daggers, Golden, The Anchor, Lost in the Moment, Wasted Age, Cold Like War, Tracing Back Roots, Hope, Fade Away, Learning to Survive, One More Day, Doublespeak, Plagued, Darkbloom, Darkbloom w/ Brand of Sacrifice, & Black Hole
