AURORA FEATURED ARTIST QUOTES:
LACEY STURM (ex-Flyleaf): "I love the mystical kind of lyrics that a thousand different people can sing and each person feels like it was written just for them and what they are going through. This is the magic of Breaking
Benjamin songs that I love. Ben asked me to sing on this acoustic version of Dear Agony at a time when singing the lyrics sliced through me in a deeply prophetic way. It was a revelatory and healing experience. I'm so thankful."
SCOOTER WARD (Cold): "I'm very honored and blessed to be a part of such a beautiful song and project. Ben's writing has had a special place in our hearts for many years. Thankful to be a part of this."
ADAM GONTIER (ex-Three Days Grace): "Ben asked me to be a part of this record, and of course I said yes. We've been close friends for over 20 years, and Breaking
Benjamin has been a big influence on me over the years. I'm REALLY stoked that Ben and I have finally found a way to get our voices on a track together. Also, Dance With The Devil is one of my favorite songs by anyone. Ever."
SPENCER CHAMBERLAIN (Underoath): Touring with Breaking
Benjamin was not only one of my favorite tours we've done in years but we also left the tour with life long friends. Being asked to sing on "Red Cold River" was very flattering and a complete honor. I love these guys as musicians and as people, I'm honored to be a small part of their journey."
MICHAEL BARNES (RED): "I was honored to be a part of Breaking Benjamin's new acoustic record along side so many other amazing singers - can't wait to hear the whole thing!"
