Dark Before Dawn

Breaking Benjamin, hailing from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, is a powerhouse in the rock scene, known for their emotive and powerful sound that blends alternative metal, post-grunge, and hard rock elements. Formed in 1999 by lead singer and guitarist Benjamin Burnley and drummer Jeremy Hummel, the band quickly gained traction with their debut album "Saturate" in 2002, followed by "We Are Not Alone" in 2004. With a lineup that includes guitarist Aaron Fink and bassist Mark James Klepaski, Breaking Benjamin has consistently delivered chart-topping hits like "The Diary of Jane," "I Will Not Bow," and "Awaken."

The band's journey has seen several lineup changes, with Chad Szeliga replacing Hummel in 2005, and Keith Wallen joining in 2014, adding depth to their musical repertoire.

Their discography, which includes albums like "Phobia" (2006) and "Dear Agony" (2009), is a testament to their enduring appeal and musical prowess. Fans can look forward to their dynamic live performances and the band's ongoing contributions to the rock genre.
