This page will contain wikis about Breaking Benjamin, as they become available.Breaking BenjaminBreaking Benjamin is a rock band from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Formed in late 2000, Breaking Benjamin signed up with Hollywood Records and released their first major-label record Saturate in 2002. The record had clear influences and touches of Tool, Korn, and Nirvana. The first single "Polyamorous" received much radio airplay, and propelled the band to stardom. Ben Burnley says that he self-taught himself the guitar by listening to Nirvana's Nevermind. Breaking Benjamin's roots are clearly alternative rock/metal band, but they are definitely heavier than their peers. Sticking to the genre's symbolistic downtuned guitars, which creates a haunting and overwhelming heaviness in their songs, they manage to keep their melodies prominent. On June 24, 2004, the band released We Are Not Alone, which featured the first single "So Cold". They also created an original cut for the immensely popular video game Halo 2. Since Jeremy Hummell left the band in 2004, Breaking Benjamin has hired Chad Szeliga as the band's new drummer. To add to the credibility of the band, their first single "So Cold" has spent 37 weeks in the top 20 of the Billboard charts (as of February 3, 2005). Members
