Breaking Benjamin’s last studio album, Ember, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and marked the multiplatinum band’s fourth Top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200, following 2015’s No. 1 debut for Dark Before Dawn, 2009’s Dear Agony at No. 4 and 2006’s Phobia at No. 2.

Starset returns with their fourth studio album, Horizons. A continued voyage through a captivating science fiction narrative, Horizons delivers a cinematic soundscape that accompanies the listener through pain, love, descent, and triumph. The world has been consumed by synthetic methods of escaping reality, and it is with this technology that we are able to explore life through other users’ experiences – finally, the ability to be someone else.
