Metal Anarchy

During a recent interview with Moshpit Passion, Breaking Benjamin guitarists Jasen Rauch and Keith Wallen offered an update on the band’s new album. According to them, the effort is “done.”

Rauch said the following:

“Well, the album’s done. There is [a title for it]. We are so close for everything coming out. We have some big announcements coming. What we can say, I guess, is that we’ve been recording pretty much full time four years now post-pandemic. Some of these songs we re-recorded three different times. We’ve had a lineup change. There was some personal stuff going on, individually, families, things in the band… And so to kind of be on the back end of it now, I think it’s just something that we’re all really proud of.”

Wallen continued:

“We’re done. It’s sinking in, ’cause we see all the comments, we see all the fans [saying], just, like, ‘When’s the new album [coming out]? When’s the new album?’ And, like, trust me, we are so ready to [put it out]. We are so excited.”

Rauch went on to say the release date will be unveiled “over the summer”:

“[It was finished] literally a couple weeks ago. We were at another festival in America. We had one more line to record vocals on, in a room not unlike this. We had our stuff with us, so we’re, like, ‘Do you mind if we punch this real quick?’ And so we did. And we recorded that line, and that was the last one for the record, and so that’s literally it. We just got masters back. We’re doing some different artwork tweaks. All that stuff’s happening right now.”
