DETROIT - We Came As Romans released two new songs Friday, the first music from the Michigan rockers since singer Kyle Pavone died last summer. The band posted a preview of "Carry the Weight" earlier this week. The track and "From the First Note" both pay homage to Pavone, who died of an accidental overdose. Co-vocalist Dave Stephens previously said the album may contain material Pavone worked on before he died. "We would love to include him in this record as much as we can, aside from just writing about him," Stephens said.
