Recorded with up-and-coming producer Joey Sturgis (The Devil Wears Prada, Emarosa, Attack Attack) at his Foundation Recording Studio, the 10-song follow-up to their breakout EP, Dreams, finds the band expanding their blend of pop-infused metal.
Although recorded with the same producer, there is still an intentional difference between the two albums. We Came As Romans didn’t let the fact that they are only a six-piece hold them back from achieving a more symphonic sound on To Plant A Seed. “I played the trombone from Elementary school until I graduated high school and I always took the sound of a symphonic band or an orchestra with me,” explains Moore of their decision to add orchestral elements to the album such as the violins, brass, and piano interlaced throughout the album’s dynamic layers.
Not unlike the EP, the lyrics on To Plant A Seed reflect We Came As Romans’ goal of spreading a positive message through their music. The band hopes, “when people hear the album, they might not change the way they think or the way they act right now, but hopefully we've planted that ‘seed’, that thought of love, and it can grow.”
The theme of the album is carried through to the artwork. Painted by acclaimed artist Paul Romano (Mastodon, Chiodos), the album cover depicts a “very innocent looking boy in which the ‘seed’ has been planted in his mind and it grows to his heart, out of his palms and becomes branches,” describes Moore.

So I was playing the new Call of Duty game and listening to your guys CD and I was surprised my Xbox didn't catch on fire from all the EPICNESS going on lol.
hey guys. your show was so insane last night! idk if you remember me but i was the tall guy with one of your old shirts on. my friend jake and i talked to josh and lou for a little bit by the merch table. itd mean more then the world to us if you checked out our demos we recorded ourselves and let us know what u honestly think of it. thanks.
i doubt you guys will really read this cause no bands usually reply to fans but im just letting you guys know that the venue in Salt Lake City Utah that you are supposedly playing at on December 1st i guess has closed down. you might want to get ahold of your booking agency and have them find another venue. there is another venue called Murray theater which is ran by the same people as the Avalon. just trying to help :)
