Following its release last Wednesday and its subsequent live debut at Sonic Temple in Columbus this past weekend, Breaking Benjamin have released the lyric video for their newest single "Something Wicked." The clip features footage from their most recent concerts, including shots of an honest-to-God Master Chief cosplayer onstage with the band. It's a breath of fresh air for a band as consistently solid as Breaking Benjamin, showing that the Wilkes-Barre outfit are still going strong, while embracing what brought them to the dance in the first place.
Check out the video below:
While the band have not had a new album since 2018's Ember (2020 if you count the compilation/re-imagining record Aurora), "Something Wicked" marks the second single of this cycle, after "Awaken" released in October 2024.
For now, Breaking Benjamin are gearing up for their European and United Kingdom tour this June, as well as their Fall 2026 headliner stateside. The former will see support from Chevelle on a handful of dates, with the US tour adding Starset and Kami Kehoe to the lineup, as well as Chevelle. Those dates are as follows:
