"“Something Wicked” features brooding Tool-inspired verses that explode into a bright and hopeful chorus. The track highlights frontman Benjamin Burnley's strong vocals, with harsh screams and anthemic rock belting aplenty."
"“'Something Wicked' is a quick look into our influences both musically and thematically. We challenged ourselves especially hard on this record and on this song. We pushed every boundary we've previously had as far as it will go, then pushed a little more. 'Something Wicked' was the result.”"
"Breaking Benjamin debuted the song this past weekend at the Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona Beach, Florida. The track follows the stand-alone 2024 single “Awaken.”"
Breaking Benjamin released the single “Something Wicked,” marking their first proper studio album material in eight years. Their 2020 album Aurora largely reworked earlier catalog songs, while their last original album was Ember in 2018. “Something Wicked” pairs brooding, Tool-inspired verses with a bright, hopeful chorus. The track spotlights frontman Benjamin Burnley’s vocals, including harsh screams and anthemic rock belting. Burnley described the song as a look into the band’s musical and thematic influences, created by pushing boundaries further than before. The band debuted the song at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach and followed it after the 2024 single “Awaken.” They also announced a fall North American headline tour with Chevelle, Starset, and Kami Kehoe, plus upcoming festival and cruise appearances.
