ʻO Breaking Benjamin kahi hui pōhaku mai Pennsylvania mai. Ua hoʻomaka ka mōʻaukala o ka hui ma 1998 ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Wilkes-Barre. Ua makemake ʻelua mau hoaaloha ʻo Benjamin Burnley lāua ʻo Jeremy Hummel i ke mele a hoʻomaka e pāʻani pū.
ʻO ka mea hoʻokani pila a me ka leo leo - ʻo Ben, ma hope o nā mea kani ʻo Jeremy. Hoʻokani nui nā hoaaloha ʻōpio ma nā "ʻaina" a ma nā pāʻina like ʻole me nā hoaaloha a me nā hoaaloha.
Ua hoʻokani nui lākou i ke mele o Nirvana, ʻoiai ʻo Benjamin ka mea hoʻokani iā Kurt Cobain. Ma kā lākou mau hana, hiki ke lohe i nā mana uhi o nā mele na Godsmack, Nine Inch Nails a me Depeche Mode.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke ala hana o ka hui Breaking Benjamin
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole lawa nā kānaka ʻelua no ka hana piha. No laila, kono lākou i kekahi e pāʻani pū me lākou. ʻO ka hapa nui he hoa kula.
Ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana o Lifer, i ka hopena o 2000 Aaron Fink (hoʻokumu i ka mea hoʻokani pila) a me Mark Klepaski (bassist) i hui pū me Benjamin Burnley lāua ʻo Jeremy Hummel (drummer) e hoʻokumu iā Breaking Benjamin.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kā lākou ʻoihana, i kūpono i ke ʻano lekiō a loaʻa nā rotations, hoʻokani nā mea hoʻokani i ke ʻano post-grunge. Ua nānā pū lākou i ke kani o Pearl Jam, Pilots Stone Temple a me Nirvana. Ma hope mai ua lawe lākou i ke kani kīkā mai nā hui e like me Korn a me Tool.
I ka wā mua, ʻaʻohe inoa o ka hui. Ua hoʻololi nā mea a pau me hoʻokahi hana i kekahi o nā "ʻaina" e hiki mai ana. A laila, hoʻokuʻu ihola ʻo Beniamina i ka microphone mai kona lima aku, a laila nahā ihola ia.
ʻO ka hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻana i ka microphone, ʻōlelo ka mea nona ka hale hoʻokumu penei: "Mahalo iā Beniamina no ka uhaʻi ʻana i kaʻu microphone pōʻino." I kēlā ahiahi, ua kapa ʻia ʻo Beniamina "Breaking Benjamin". Ua hoʻoholo nā kāne ʻo ia ka inoa o ka hui. Akā ma hope o kekahi manawa, hoʻololi lākou i ko lākou manaʻo a hoʻoholo lākou e hoʻololi i ka maʻalahi.
A laila ua lawe ʻia ka inoa ʻo Plan 9. Mai loko mai o nā koho koho 9 i koho ʻia no ka inoa hou o ka hui, ʻaʻohe mea i puka mai. Akā i ka hopena, "ʻaʻole i aʻa" a koho i ka koho mua.
Ua hoʻomaka ka hui i kā lākou hana mua ma ke ʻano metala ʻē aʻe. Ua lilo kona leo i pōhaku nui i nā makahiki 2000.
I kona wā e noho nei, ua nui nā loli i ka haku ʻana o ka hui. Ua hoʻohuli lākou i kona kani, i maʻalahi i ka hopena o 2000s.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ua like ke mele me ke kani ʻana o nā mele mele ʻo Alice in Chains a me nā nu-metalists Godsmack a me Chevelle.
ʻO ka ʻike a me ka hanohano o ka hui Breaking Benjamin
Ua lilo ʻo Breaking Benjamin i kekahi o nā hui pōhaku kaulana loa ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ua hōʻea ʻo ia i ka helu 1 ma nā pakuhi me ka Breath hoʻokahi.
ʻAʻole mākou wale nō (2004), Phobia (2006) a me Dear Agony (2009) i ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ka mea kūʻai maikaʻi loa ma US.
ʻO saturate (2002)
Ma 2001, ua hōʻike ʻo Breaking Benjamin ma Wilkes-Barre i ka manaʻo o DJ Freddie Fabbri. Aia ʻo ia ma ka lewa no ke kahua lekiō rock ʻē aʻe WBSX-FM. Hoʻokomo ʻo Fabbri i ke mele a nā mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Polyamorous i ka rotation, kahi i hoʻoikaika nui ai i ka ʻike ʻana o ka hui. Ua lilo kēia mele i mea kaulana loa mai ka album.
Ma hope iki, ua hoʻopuka kālā ka hui i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka EP hoʻomaka ponoʻī. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa nā mea hoʻokani i kahi ʻaelike me Hollywood Records, kahi i hoʻopili ai i ka hui me Ulrich Wild. Ua hana ʻo ia no nā hui e like me Static-X, Pantera a me Slipknot. ʻO ia hoʻi ka mea hoʻolālā o ka album Saturate (2002).
ʻAʻole mākou wale (2004)
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album We Are Not Alone i ka makahiki 2004 me Billy Corgan. Ua hana ʻia e David Bendet.
Ma hope o nā mele ʻelua o ka album ʻo "So Cold" a me "Sooner or Later" i paʻi i ka papa palapala Billboard a hiki i ka helu 2 i ka papa inoa o nā mele rock kaulana, ua hele ka hui i kahi huakaʻi hui me Evanescence.
ʻO ka haku mele ʻo So Cold i lilo i mele kaulana loa o ka album lōʻihi piha, kahi i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ka So Cold EP.
Ua hoʻokomo ʻia kahi mana acoustic o So Cold, kahi mele mai ka pāʻani kamepiula kaulana ʻo Halo 2. A me kahi mele i hoʻokuʻu ʻole ʻia mai ka hui, ʻo Lady Bug.
Ua haku ʻia nā kiʻi wikiō no nā mele So Cold no ka pāʻani Half-Life 2 a me Follow no ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni Torque. Ua alakaʻi kēia i ka piʻi ʻana o ka kaulana o ka hui. Ua mahalo ʻia nā kiʻi e Benjamin Burnley. No ka mea, he aloha ʻo ia i nā pāʻani kamepiula.
I Kepakemapa 2004, ua makemake ka mea pahu pahu ʻo Jeremy Hummel e haʻalele a ua pani ʻia ʻo ia e Chad Zeliga. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua waiho ʻo ia i kahi hoʻopiʻi kūʻē iā Breaking Benjamin. No ka mea, ʻaʻole i uku ʻia ʻo ia no nā haku mele. Ma ke ʻano he uku, makemake ʻo ia e hoʻopiʻi i $ 8 miliona. Akā, ma hope o hoʻokahi makahiki o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana, ua hoʻopau ʻia kāna koi.
Phobia
Ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i kā lākou album ʻekolu ʻo Phobia i ʻAukake 2006 ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kahi huakaʻi poʻomanaʻo holoʻokoʻa. Ua hoʻolauna ʻia ka album me ka The Diary of Jane, kahi i loaʻa i ka lekiō lekiō a piʻi i ka helu 2 ma nā palapala Billboard. Ma ka moʻolelo o ka hui, ua lilo kēia album i mea kaulana loa a lanakila. A lilo ka mele ʻo The Diary Of Jane i mea hoʻomana.
Ua hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia ʻo Phobia i ka hāʻule me nā ala bonus hou. Ua hoʻomau ka hui i ka huakaʻi me Godsmack.
Aloha ʻeha
Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka huakaʻi, ua hoʻi ka hui i ke keena e hoʻomaka i ka hana ma kā lākou album studio ʻehā. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka hui ʻo Dear Agony me ka mea hoʻokahi I Will Not Bow i ke kauwela o 2009.
ʻO nā huakaʻi hou aʻe i ukali ʻia, me Three Days Grace a me Nickelback.
ʻO ka uhaʻi ʻana iā Beniamina ma ka hiatus
Ma 2010, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Burnley i kahi hiatus ma muli o nā pilikia olakino. A i Mei 2011, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ʻelua mau lālā o ka hui. ʻOiai ʻo ia e mālama ana, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Fink lāua ʻo Klepaski e loaʻa kālā keu - ua hoʻopaʻa lāua i kahi mana hou o ka mele Blow Me Away a ua ʻae me ka lepili e hoʻokuʻu hou iā ia, me ka ʻae ʻole i kēia mau hana me Ben.
ʻO ka hopena, e loaʻa i ka bassist a me ka mea hoʻokani pila he $100 o ka $150 i loaʻa mai ke mele.
Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo Burnley no ka mea nāna i kākau ke mele. Ua koi ʻo ia i $250 i uku. Ma muli o ka hihia, ua ʻae ka ʻaha i ke koi a Ben. Ua loaʻa iā ia ke kuleana kūʻokoʻa e hoʻopau i ka brand Breaking Benjamin. Ua hoʻopau ʻia ka hui.
Haʻalele ʻole kahi hui, hoʻomaka ʻo Burnley e pāʻani i nā gigs acoustic ma nā wahi liʻiliʻi me Aaron Brook. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, hoʻolaha lākou e hoʻomau ka hui ʻo Breaking Benjamin i ka laina hou, koe wale nō ʻo Burnley.
ʻO ka haku mele hou o ka hui
Ma ʻAukake 20, 2014, ua hōʻike ʻia ka haku mele hou o ka hui:

Ua loaʻa iā Sean Foist Ben lāua ʻo ʻAʻarona ma YouTube. Ua hoʻopuka ʻo ia i nā wikiō me nā mana uhi o nā mele Breaking Benjamin ma laila.
Ua makemake nā kāne i ka hana, a ua hoʻoholo lākou e kono iā ia i ka hui. Pīhoihoi loa ʻo Sean i kēlā ʻano hāʻawi, no ka mea, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i manaʻo e hiki mai ana ia mea i kona ola.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka laina hou, ua hoʻolaha ka hui e hoʻomaka ana lākou e hana i kahi album piha piha.
Poʻeleʻele ma mua o ka wanaʻao
Ma Malaki 23, 2015, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke mele mua ʻo Failure a ua kauoha mua ʻia ke album ma iTunes Dark Before Dawn.
