Breaking Benjamin set to release new album "Dark Before Dawn" on June 23rd & single &q
Breaking Benjamin returns this summer with a new album called Dark Before Dawn on June 23rd, 2015. The follow-up to 2009's Dear Agony will be preceded by a single called "Failure," which is scheduled to arrive on March 23rd, 2015. The new single and album follow a long period of inactivity for the band during which songwriter, frontman and sole original member Ben Burnley battled health issues and was engaged in legal action against two former members. Burnley unveiled Breaking Benjamin 2.0 last year(2014) with their first shows back in August/September 2014, with the lineup consisting of drummer Shaun Foist, bassist Aaron Bruch, former Red guitarist Jasen Rauch and ex-Adelitas Way guitarist Keith Wallen. The group reportedly began recording its fifth album late last year. Not surprising, Benjamin told kshe95.com a while back that he's a perfectionist when it comes to making music: "I'd say every song that I write, I lose a little bit more hair (laughs). You know, it is a stressful thing, but you have a standard that you put yourself through being the singer, the songwriter and the performer all in one, and you have to be a little bit of a perfectionist. I think every musician is like that. I don't know anybody that's really not." After playing a handful of shows last month and a few acoustic solo shows this past weekend, Breaking Benjamin will hit the road this spring and summer for a mix of festivals, radio concerts and headlining dates, beginning on April 17th in Texas.
