Burbank, CA (Top40 Charts/ Hollywood Records) Hollywood Records has announced a Greatest Hits collection titled Shallow Bay: The Best of Breaking
Benjamin from their multi-platinum rock band BREAKING BENJAMIN to be released on August 16, 2011. The two-disc release will feature the band's chart-topping hits including "Breath," "So Cold," "Sooner Or Later," "The Diary of Jane" and "I Will Not Bow," as well as an entire disc of rare recordings including never-before-released songs, live performances, rare acoustic recordings and remixes.
A remixed version of "Blow Me Away," the lead track from the two-disc set, features the soaring vocals of Syd Duran of the band Valora and is already heating up the rock radio charts.
The songs on Shallow Bay are culled from the band's catalog: 2002's Saturate, 2004's We Are Not Alone, 2006's Phobia, and 2009's Dear Agony. The second two - We Are Not Alone and Phobia - yielded spectacular results with each being certified Platinum. We Are Not Alone spawned a pair of No. 1 radio hits ("So Cold" and "Sooner Or Later") and sold 2.3 million units (albums and digital tracks). Phobia debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Top 200, hit No. 1 on the Rock Album Chart and was one of the top 50 selling rock albums of 2006. It featured one No. 1 and two Top Five rock radio hits ("Breath," "Diary of Jane" and "Until The End") and sold 2.8 million units (albums and digital tracks). 2009's Dear Agony debuted No 4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart on one of the busiest release days of the year and No 1 on the iTunes Rock Album Chart. Dear Agony also spun off a No 1 song at Active Rock with "I Will Not Bow" where it stayed No 1 for five weeks straight.
Over the past decade Breaking Benjamin has amassed a sizeable and loyal diehard fanbase both through their music as well as their electrifying live performances. For those fans, old and new alike, Shallow Bay will be a must-have collection.
