After announcing their recent signing to BMG, hard rock veterans Breaking Benjamin
have released their anthemic new track “Awaken”, the first single from the band in five
years.
Consistently dominating the rock charts since their debut in 2002 with “Saturate”, Breaking
Benjamin has accumulated ten #1 hits, platinum and multi-platinum albums, 8.5 billion
streams globally, and a social following of over 6.5 million, they’ve solidified their global
influence and devoted fan base. The past release, “AURORA,” earned them their 10th #1
rock radio hit with “Far Away”. Their previous album, EMBER debuted at #3 on the
Billboard Top 200, marking their fourth Top 5 debut. Their track record includes #1 hits like
“Red Cold River” and “Torn in Two.” Both AURORA and EMBER achieved Top 10 status in
multiple countries and #1 spots across various charts, including Top Alternative Albums,
Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Digital Albums.
“Working on this song has been something new and exciting for all of us I believe” guitarist
Jasen Rauch adds and continues “We’ve been able to explore more of who we are traditionally,
while at the same time push boundaries and try things we haven’t done in the past. Musically
we’ve tried hard to stay true to what Breaking Benjamin is, but offer a new take as well.”
With almost 5 BILLION global streams, visionary cinematic rock collective STARSET has been rapidly growing a devoted global fan base, captivated by their immense songs and groundbreaking live shows framed by a futuristic, dystopian narrative that blurs the lines of science fact and fiction. Lead by enigmatic maestro and PHD candidate Dustin Bates, the RIAA-Platinum certified act have collaborated with Breaking Benjamin on new single "Waiting On The Sky To Change". The combination of the two powerhouses has delighted fans, gaining over 15 million song streams and a #I rock radio single. The big debut sets the scene for the band to make their way to the masses with the launch of their highly-awaited next album campaign in 2023.
