Things have been relatively quiet in the Breaking Benjamin for the past few years, save for an announcement in April of this year that the legal dispute between Benjamin Burnley and two ex-members of the band was resolved, giving Burnley the rights to use the band name moving forward.
The drummer slot in Black Label Society has seen a lot of turnover in recent years. Former drummer Will Hunt left in early 2011 to resume his role in Evanescence.
This fall, the band is touring with Judas Priest. The man in charge of, as Black Label frontman Zakk Wylde puts it, “holding down the foundation of the black cathedral” will be former Breaking Benjamin drummer Chad Szeliga.
