So much BMTH sounds out there, moreover it's blend and generic. Heart is on, but there's lack of
originality. Still some bangers One More Day, Doublespeak and Daggers hl.

Losing a pivotal member of your ensemble in tragedy, no matter what the part, will in a duo sense give a 'neon sign' to your group as well as the lost member casting perhaps too big of a shadow to overcome. "Darkbloom", the latest We Came as Romans record, had hurdles to jump over as their prior record "Cold Like War" was perhaps their best record to date. A majority of the runtime of "Darkbloom" is used to lyrically say farewell to their lost comrade in selections such as 'One More Day', 'Promise You', and arguably 'Golden' - though that one's more up to interpretation. A glaring issue throughout the album however is how the dynamics never really seem to shift; contrasted with the prior "Cold Like War" where the tempo would slow down, there would be experimentation with sounds and styles, and oddly an aura of mystique that would come and go until the end. "Darkbloom" isn't We Came as Romans' worst record (that's still their self-titled one), but it refuses to try and go bigger and instead regress to safer sounds to appease audiences' tastes to keep them around. A 'pass' will be given here as long as future releases begin improving. Recommended tracks: 'Plagued', 'Golden', 'Daggers'.

Another band that wants to re-create the modern American metalcore formula Beartooth, I
Prevail, and Our Last Night created. I wouldn't be surprised if The Word Alive's next album
will sound similar to this.
