Hard rock giants BREAKING BENJAMIN are back with a brooding and haunting new single, 'Something Wicked', signaling the latest chapter for the band and the tease of a forthcoming full-length album.

Marked by their signature blend of atmospheric tension, thunderous instrumentation, and raw emotional weight, the track finds the band pushing deeper into their darker sonic territory while staying rooted in the sound that has defined them for years.

'Something Wicked' builds from a simmering, introspective opening into a powerful, anthemic crescendo, showcasing frontman Benjamin Burnley's unmistakable vocals as they shift between vulnerable restraint and explosive intensity.

Speaking on the single, Burnley shares: "'Something Wicked' is a quick look into our influences both musically and thematically.

We challenged ourselves especially hard on this record and on this song.

We pushed every boundary we've previously had as far as it will go, then pushed a little more.

'Something Wicked' was the result.' This new music follows BREAKING BENJAMIN's first new single since "Awaken" in October 2024, which quickly shot to No.

1 on the Rock Digital Songs charts and landed in the Top 20 on multiple additional Billboard charts.

The band has been relatively quiet since then, but they are now back with 'Something Wicked', a track that showcases their ability to craft powerful, emotional music.

BREAKING BENJAMIN is no strangers to the upper echelons of the rock charts.

Since bursting on to the scene with 2002's "Saturate", the band has amassed an impressive string of mainstream rock radio hits, with ten songs hitting No.

1, numerous platinum and multi-platinum songs and albums, 8.5 billion combined streams worldwide and a social imprint of over 6.5 million.

The band is set to tour Europe in June and July alongside CHEVELLE and RETURN TO DUST, marking their first overseas shows since 2017.

This will be their first live appearance with new drummer Brian Medeiros, who joined the band after Shaun Foist stepped away from touring due to health reasons.

The band has been through a few lineup changes recently, but they are now ready to take on new challenges and bring their music to fans around the world."
