Breaking Benjamin Returns After Five Years

Breaking Benjamin is back with a bang! After a five-year hiatus, they've released a brand-new song titled Awaken. While there's no confirmation yet on a full album, fans can stream the single online now. Keep an eye on WRIF for updates as soon as more news drops!

If you're a Metallica fan and a pinball enthusiast, you're in for a treat. Stern Pinball has unveiled Metallica Remastered, a high-tech upgrade of their classic Metallica Pinball from 2013. Known as one of the most successful pinball games ever, this remastered edition offers even more features and fun. But be ready to splurge! The Premium Edition is priced just under $10,000, while the Limited Edition will set you back around $13,000.

For something a little different, Papi has dropped two new tracks—The Cost of Giving Up and Crystallized. Both songs are streaming now and will be part of the upcoming album Negative Spaces, which releases on November 15th.

Also on the November 15th release schedule is the highly anticipated debut album from Silver Lights, a supergroup featuring members of R.E.M., The Black Crowes, and Screaming Trees. Their debut single Don't Go, Don't Stay is out now.
