The official video for ‘DEAD SILENT’ accompanies WE CAME AS ROMANS’ collaboration with MAKE THEM SUFFER, released November 4, 2026. Vocalist Dave Stephens describes the song as an attempt to break destructive patterns, recorded after the two bands had wanted to work together for some time.
‘DEAD SILENT’ is one of four new songs on ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE'RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY. The expanded and reimagined album arrives Friday, November 6 through Sharptone Records, with pre-orders available and streaming scheduled for 12am ET that Friday.
Stephens explains: “We’ve wanted to collaborate with our friends in Make Them Suffer for a long time, and ‘Dead Silent’ finally gave us the chance to get in the studio and make it happen. We’re huge fans of theirs and everything they bring to heavy music, so getting to put our heads together on this one was a great experience.”
He continues: “The song is about breaking out of the same destructive patterns and finding the strength to rebuild and let go of the negativity holding you back. It’s dark and heavy, but there’s a real sense of fun to it too. We had a great time making something together that hits and makes you want to move.”
The 23-track CIRCULARITY expands the life, death and rebirth concept of the band’s 2025 album ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE'RE DOOMED. Its opening sequence comprises ‘WHEN EVERYTHING IS STILL,’ ‘DEAD SILENT,’ the previously released ‘BORN FROM NOTHING’ and ‘SPEAK TO EXIST.’ These four songs explore the afterlife between death and reincarnation, forming a passage between the original record’s closing ‘BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED’ and opening ‘ALL IS BEAUTIFUL…’ whenever the album loops.
Six existing songs have also been rebuilt with CURRENTS, AFTER THE BURIAL, HEAVENSGATE, Rory Rodriguez of DAYSEEKER, LADRONES, HEADWRECK and BURY TOMORROW. The collaborators reshaped the songs themselves: BURY TOMORROW contributed an entirely new chorus, while ‘culture wound O’ with LADRONES is a complete Spanish rerecording incorporating flamenco guitar. These companion versions extend the project’s transformation concept through changes to the music.
