BMG INKS BREAKING BENJAMIN

Breaking Benjamin has signed a global deal with BMG, marking their first new label home in over two decades. The multi-platinum rockers will release their first set of new music since 2018 as part of the partnership.

Following their 2002 debut album Saturate, the band has earned three platinum albums, 10 #1 Rock radio hits, 8.5b+ global streams and more. They last hit the top of the charts with “Far Away” f/Scooter Ward from Aurora, while 2018’s Ember debuted at #3 and featured chart toppers “Red Cold River” and “Torn in Two.”

“Working on these new songs has been a fresh experience for all of us. 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,” said the band in a shared statement.

“Breaking Benjamin has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music with their raw energy, powerful songwriting, and a connection with fans that’s both intense and enduring. We’re incredibly proud to support them as they embark on their next chapter with us at BMG,” added Sean Heydorn, SVP, Head of Rock and Rise Records.

The band has been teasing new music during their 2024 North American tour with Stained, with a countdown clock hinting at releases coming soon.
