Roman Black (born Madziarczyk) is the front man for DEATH BEFORE DESIRE, a metalcore, hard rock, goth inspired band. He writes the lyrics and most of the music with the help of his drummer who lends an occasional hand.
The vocalist is 31, having recently celebrated his birthday, and is finally coming down from his chaotic 20s, which were filled with touring, instability, and drama. Ultimately the band decided to go on a hiatus, for the sake of every member involved, which has led Rome back to tumblr β giving himself the sort of journal he started out with. That being said, heβs no stranger to tumblr. He was extremely popular in the early 2000s, and posted regularly about himself and his band, which came to some fame in 2014 with the release of their first EP, Fading Fast Forward.
After years of touring and creating, developing some nasty habits on the way, Roman has stepped back to work on himself. He and his band mates still regularly talk β Roman having moved back to his hometown in Pennsylvania, β and are still creating even though theyβve separated for the time being. Everyone is on good terms with each other, and no hard feelings have been harbored since the decision to go on hiatus was made.
Their North America 2026 tour has been postponed to 2027.
