Breaking Benjamin guitarist Keith Wallen teams up with Gore. singer Haley Roughton for new single ‘Teeth Marks’

BREAKING BENJAMIN guitarist KEITH WALLEN has teamed up with GORE. singer Haley Roughton for the new single “TEETH MARKS”. Watch the video here.

Wallen states that the song is about “Love, hate, pain, power, and the all consuming cycles of obsession”.

The interplay between Wallen and Roughton is nothing short of magical, as his melodics collide full force into her sung/scream style, resulting in a master class in vocal dynamics. Add some ferocious riffs and undeniable hooks and “Teeth Marks” leaves, well, a musical mark.

Wallen released his most recent solo album “Infinity Now” last year via Rise Records. Get it here.

He has since dropped a string of singles, including the anthemic “Dead Inside”. Watch the video here. He also delivered his gorgeous take on Avril Lavigne’s contemplative classic “I’m With You”. Watch the video here. Prior to that, Wallen shared the standalone single “Us Against the World”. Watch the video here.

Keith Wallen is a prolific songwriter responsible for soaring melodies and hypnotic hooks heard across modern rock radio. The West Virginia-born troubadour uses his solo work as a vehicle to explore his multifaceted passions, moving seamlessly from the smart pop of ‘80s favorites like The Police and Depeche Mode to the big moody riffs of ‘90s grunge heroes like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Stone Temple Pilots.

His co-writing collaborations include compositions with Saint Asonia, Fuel, We Came As Romans, Red, Dorothy, and Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch’s Love And Death. Wallen bares his soul as a solo artist with earnest resolve, powering his honest anthems with commanding vocals.

A former member of Adelitas Way, Keith was among his first calls when Benjamin Burley decided to reform and reconfigure his band. Dark Before Dawn, Breaking Benjamin’s powerhouse comeback, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Ember followed in 2018.

Keith’s self-produced acoustic and piano-driven Allies EP arrived in 2014. His debut solo album, 2021’s This World Or The Next, featured “Dream Away,” a song streamed 1.4M times on Spotify alone. His second solo album, Infinity Now, includes production and co-writing contributions from Kevin Thrasher (RIVALS, Jelly Roll) and work with Dan Braunstein (Spiritbox, Dayseeker) and Andrew Baylis (Sleeping With Sirens, Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert).

Produced by Kevin Thrasher (Jelly Roll, RIVALS) and mixed by Joel Wanasek (Rain City Drive, Scott Stapp), Keith’s sophomore solo album, Infinity Now, extends a warm invitation into the singer/songwriter’s heart and mind. Hard rock bombast meets intimate pensiveness via engaging songs like “Blackout,” “Strings,” and first single, “Headspace Holiday.”

As guitarist for Breaking Benjamin, a solo artist or songwriting collaborator, the common threads through Keith Wallen’s work are honesty, authenticity, and heartfelt spirit.
