Biography

Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA (1998 – present)

Breaking Benjamin is a / band Formed in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA in 1998 by vocalist Benjamin Burnley and drummer Jeremy Hummel, Breaking Benjamin quickly garnered a strong local following.

1st Studio Album [2002] - Saturate
The band signed to Hollywood Records in 2001 after the success of an independently-released, self-titled EP, which sold all 2,000 copies that were manufactured. Hollywood Records released their full-length, major-label debut, Saturate, on August 27, 2002. The album’s first single, “Polyamorous”, received a fair amount of radio play, although it failed to reach mainstream audiences. A video was released in two different versions for Polyamorous: one that had all live-action footage, and one that had footage of the video game Run Like Hell. The following single “Skin” was also released from Saturate, although it fared worse than “Polyamorous” and received even less airplay. “Skin” was also performed live on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. “Medicate” was also released as a single, to little commercial success and airplay. Saturate has gone on to sell over 300,000 copies.

2nd Studio Album [2004] - We Are Not Alone
Breaking Benjamin released their second album, We Are Not Alone, on June 29, 2004. The album featured the lead off single “So Cold”, which reached number two on the United States Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. The band had two music videos made for the song, one of which was a promotional video made for the movie Hellboy.

    Wait, Breaking Benjamin is going to start up making music again, but Ben's the only original member left. Everyone else decided to leave. Two of the members are already part of a new band (they're band name is kinda weird, so I don't remember what it is), and I don't know what the other guy is doing. So yeah, now it's just Ben and whoever he decides to recruit.

    "Most of this band's similar artists... aren't." Not rly, only one that might be somewhat off is Disturbed, but both often play a similar style of alternative metal
