Breaking Benjamin - Dark Before Dawn (2015)

The first original music from the platinum-selling band since the release of DEAR AGONY in 2009 (certified Gold), Dark Before Dawn marks a new era for the acclaimed band. Ben Burnley is joined by guitarists Jasen Rauch (Red) and Keith Wallen (Adelitas Way), bassist Aaron Bruch, and drummer Shaun Foist (Picture Me Broken).

Dark Before Dawn is the fifth album by American rock band Breaking Benjamin. It will be the band's first album to feature an entirely different lineup alongside founder and frontman Benjamin Burnley. The record and its lead single "Failure" were announced on March 12, 2015, with the former released on June 23, 2015 and the latter released on March 23, 2015 by Hollywood Records. It will be the band's first studio album since 2009's Dear Agony, marking the end of an extended hiatus caused by illness and legal affairs.

Dark Before Dawn will be the first to not feature guitarist Aaron Fink and bassist Mark Klepaski.

Burnley stated in an interview with Loudwire that approximately 95 percent of the album was written before the new lineup "even played a single note together." He added that, because he wanted to have the other members incorporated, he had them all record their respective instruments and that the two additional singers (Aaron Bruch and Keith Wallen) did all of the backing vocals. Burnley stated that the album was recorded at a personal studio of his and he produced the album.
