The group will release its first new music in six years
Multi-platinum hard rock group Breaking Benjamin has signed a new global recordings agreement with BMG to release their first set of new music since 2018. The partnership with BMG also marks the group’s first new label home since releasing their debut album over 20 years ago.
Breaking Benjamin has consistently dominated the rock charts since their debut album in 2002, Saturate. With ten No. 1 hits, platinum albums, 8.5 billion streams globally, and a social following of over 6.5 million, they’ve solidified their global influence and a strong devoted fan base. Their last release, Aurora, earned them their tenth chart-topping rock radio hit with “Far Away” featuring Scooter Ward.
Their previous album, Ember debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, marking their fourth Top 5 debut. Their track record includes No. 1 hits like “Red Cold River” and “Torn in Two.” Both Aurora and Ember achieved Top 10 status in multiple countries, and No. 1 spots across various charts, including Billboard’s Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums, and Top Digital Albums.
“Working on these new songs has been a fresh experience for all of us,” the band shares. “We’ve stayed true to the core of who Breaking Benjamin is, but we’ve also pushed ourselves creatively, exploring new sounds and ideas that we haven’t tapped into before. It’s been about striking that balance between honoring our roots while introducing a fresh take on what our music can be.”
Throughout the group’s career, Breaking Benjamin has earned three platinum albums, two gold albums, one quadruple platinum single, one triple platinum single, one double platinum single, three platinum singles, and six gold singles making them one of rock music’s most highly anticipated torch bearers of new music.
Currently, the band has been teasing a countdown clock throughout their 2024 North American concert tour opening for Stained, with new music expected to be released shortly.
