Breaking Benjamin shared a new music video on Friday (January 24th) for “Far Away,” the one all-new song on the band's new album, Aurora, featuring Cold's Scooter Ward on guest vocals. The LP itself, a collection of re-imagined versions of some of the band's most popular tracks, also arrived on Friday.
Frontman Ben Burnley told us that “Far Away” is a fairly new tune and that it came together the same way all his songs do: “I wrote it recently. I wrote it in New York City, and I mean, the writing process to me is: I sit down and I write (laughs) and it comes out on its own. People always ask me, you know, what influenced it or what made, you know, whatever. Like, if I knew that, I would do that all the time. They just happen when they happen.”
Aurora also features guests like Adam Gontier of Saint Asonia, ex-Flyleaf singer Lacey Sturm and Michael Barnes from Red. Among the chart-topping hits included in new versions are “So Cold,” “Never Again,” “Torn In Two” and “Angels Fall.”
Breaking Benjamin kicked off a co-headlining 24-city tour with Korn last week that stops on Monday night (January 27th) in Quebec City and wraps up on March 1st in Fresno, California.
