After a 6 year hiatus since the last studio album, multi-platinum band Breaking Benjamin released their fifth studio album Dark Before Dawn today and if fan reaction and presales are any indication, this will be another chart-topping debut.
Dark Before Dawn marks the first original music from the band since the release of Dear Agony in 2009 (debuted #4 on the Billboard 200) and features the runaway hit, “Failure,” which is going into its seventh straight week at #1 at rock radio. This album also marks a new era for the acclaimed band as Breaking Benjamin founder Ben Burnley is joined by guitarists Jasen Rauch (Red) and Keith Wallen (Adelitas Way), bassist Aaron Bruch, and drummer Shawn Foist (Picture Me Broken).
To kick off the release, Breaking Benjamin frontman/founding member, Ben Burnley, will be chatting with legendary rock DJ, host and author, Eddie Trunk, live from the YouTube Space NY at 2pm ET. Tune in here: https://www.youtube.com/c/BreakingBenjaminOfficial
Following a spring festival run that included breakout performances at Rock on the Range, Carolina Rebellion, Rocklahoma! and Welcome To Rockville, the band is set to hit the road with U.S. headline and festival dates. See below for a full list of updated tour dates.
