BREAKING BENJAMIN have released their highly-anticipated sixth studio album, EMBER, available for streaming HERE and purchase HERE. The self-produced EMBER has already spun off a #1 rock radio track, “Red Cold River,” and is the follow-up to BREAKING BENJAMIN’s 2015 #1 album, Dark Before Dawn.
Today also marks the release of the music video for “Torn in Two” (watch HERE) the second chapter in a trilogy chronicling the living hell a father goes through when his daughter is murdered and what he will endure to save her soul. The cinematic and intense imagery pulls inspiration from the epic poem, Dante’s Inferno and for diehard fans, hints of past BREAKING BENJAMIN videos.
Additionally, BREAKING BENJAMIN have partnered with Prevent Child Abuse Americadonating $0.25 from each ticket sold to their summer co-headline tour with Five Finger Death Punch to the organization. As April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, founder/frontman Ben Burnley had this to say about their choice in partnering with this organization:
“I have always had a soft spot for children, especially being a father myself. We do a lot of work with St. Jude Children’s Hospital and love helping there where we can. Since April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we wanted to do something to bring awareness to that as well as encourage others to do their part in helping the innocent voices of the future. We’re pleased to be donating .25 cents of each ticket on our Summer tour to the country’s biggest foundation for child abuse awareness, ‘Prevent Child Abuse America’ so they may continue their journey to put an end to it.” – Ben Burnley
