Listen to new Breaking Benjamin single Red Cold River
Breaking Benjamin release their new single Red Cold River - taken from upcoming album Ember

Breaking Benjamin have released their new single titled Red Cold River.
It’s set to appear on the Pennsylvania outfit’s sixth studio album, Ember, which is expected to launch in the coming months. It’ll be the band’s first album since 2015’s Dark Before Dawn.
The single can be heard below, while a short video teaser has also been released.
Frontman Benjamin Burnley resurrected the group back in 2014, bringing in guitarists Jasen Rauch and Keith Wallen, bassist Aaron Bruch and drummer Shaun Foist.
They had been inactive in the years after their fourth album, 2009’s Dear Agony, with Burnley battling a long-term illness – and he was also embroiled in a legal wrangle with former bandmates during the hiatus.
Breaking Benjamin will head out on tour next week across North America with Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet For My Valentine.
