Breaking Benjamin have aligned themselves with BMG, following a two decade stint on Hollywood Records. The multi-platinum hard rockers have just issued their first new single through this label arrangement in the form of the below track “Awaken“. It’s also their first single since pairing with Starset in 2022.
Guitarist Jasen Rauch commented:
“Working on this song has been something new and exciting for all of us I believe. 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.”
Speaking of locking in a new label, the group collectively stated:
“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. It’s been about striking that balance between honoring our roots while introducing a fresh take on what our music can be.”
