| Benjamin Burnley of Breaking Benjamin. |
Breaking Benjamin and Starset played to a sold-out crowd at the Tabernacle on Thursday, Feb 18. The
opening act, Starset, was amazing to watch.
Dustin Bates (lead vocals), Ron DeChant (bass), Brock Richards (guitar)
and Adam Gilbert (drums) held true to the scientific and political themes of
the album “Transmissions,” hypnotizing the crowd with their incredible, cinematic
rock style a la robotic suits.
After
a brief stage change, it was time for Breaking Benjamin's performance. Lead vocalist Benjamin Burnley, accompanied by Keith Wallen
(rhythm guitar), Shaun Foist (drums), Aaron Bruch (bass) and Jasen Rauch (lead
guitar), took the crowd back in time to the early 2000s, opening with their hit
songs “So Cold” and “Follow.”
Breaking
Benjamin went into hiatus in 2010 in light of legal issues with former band
members in addition to continuing health issues suffered by Burnley. It was
thought that the band had broken up and would not be making a return. These
rumors were dismissed in the latter part of 2014 when Burnley announced the reformation
of the band and the future release of a new album. On June 23, the album “Dark
Before Dawn” was released with incredible fan support and record-setting
success.
Throughout
the evening, Burnley continuously gave thanks and praise to the fans. Look out world, Breaking Benjamin is back and
better than ever!
