Ember
“I can’t feel anything at all,” Breaking Benjamin mastermind Benjamin Burnley sings over the burbling electronics and bruising riffs of lead single “Red Cold River.” He might be numb, but you’ll feel the metallic heft of the band’s sixth and heaviest album yet. Propelled by stuttering nu-metal grooves, “Feed the Wolf” and “Psycho” maintain a tight anthemic quality, while the band explores the sharp angles of \'90s hard rock on the high-flying “Blood” and ride a sinister chug into an emotional chorus on “Save Yourself.”
On the second outing with a revamped lineup, hard rock outfit Breaking Benjamin stick to their tried and true formula, continuing the legacy of early-2000s post-grunge/nu-metal with album number six, Ember.
BREAKING BENJAMIN's 2015 gold-certified effort, "Dark Before Dawn", debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. A commercial success, to say the least, the release was built upon the back of radio rock chart-topping tracks like "Failure", 2015's most played Active Rock track, and "Angels Fall"...
Breaking Benjamin have tapped into something with their latest effort. Quality sound and unlimited potential are not all that Ember has to offer.
