The announcement informed fans that the band is active again with four new members - guitarists Jasen Rauch (Red) and Keith Wallen (Adelitas Way), bassist Aaron Bruch (Forever Ouevre) and drummer Shaun Foist (Picture Me Broken).

The Facebook post was titled Breaking Benjamin - coming soon. No further details in regards to new music or live performances were given. The band became inactive in the years after their fourth album, 2009's Dear Agony. Burnley battled a long-term illness and was also embroiled in a legal wrangle with former bandmates during the hiatus.
