Breaking Benjamin is my favorite heavy metal band, if not my favorite band ever.

They don't really sing about politics, at least not directly, but being punks and being a heavy metal band they are obviously dissidents, which is good enough for me.

They seem like they have some Nietzschian messages, like "Wise men wonder while strong men die" in So Cold, and "Only the strongest will survive" in Blow Me Away.

What do you think, about their music and their politics?

(In case anyone thinks their symbol looks like the swastika, it's 4 Bs connected).

They sound exactly all of the other generic nu-metal bands of this age. Their level of blandness excedes noone.

I like their tune but I wouldn't exactly call them "nihilist" or "nü metal".
