After his acrimonious 2011 exit from Breaking Benjamin and subsequent legal battle with frontman Benjamin Burnley over the band name, guitarist Aaron Fink has resurfaced in the new group Gentleman East.
Breaking Benjamin's lengthy layoff may be coming to an end, as court proceedings between frontman Benjamin Burnley and two of the band's former members concerning the rights to use their moniker have concluded with the vocalist emerging victorious.
The drummer slot in Black Label Society has seen a lot of turnover in recent years. Former drummer Will Hunt left in early 2011 to resume his role in Evanescence.
This fall, the band is touring with Judas Priest. The man in charge of, as Black Label frontman Zakk Wylde puts it, “holding down the foundation of the black cathedral” will be former Breaking Benjamin drummer Chad Szeliga.
