Breaking Benjamin have released their first new song in five years. The single, titled “Awaken,” arrives shortly after the Pennsylvania band signed a new record deal with BMG.

“I think working on this song was something new and exciting for all of us,” guitarist Jasen Rauch said in a press release. “We were able to explore more of who we are traditionally while pushing boundaries and trying things we haven't done in the past. Musically, we tried really hard to stay true to what Breaking Benjamin is all about, but also offer a new approach.”

Fans who attended the band's show in Las Vegas on Tuesday night (October 15) got their first taste of the new song when it played over the PA as exit music at the end of the concert. Breaking Benjamin still have a few dates available on their fall tour with Staind. Get last minute tickets here.
