Breaking Benjamin announced "Red Cold River" in December 2017 as the song to lead off Ember, their sixth studio album, and teased it on New Year's Day. Benjamin Burnley wrote it with Aaron Bruch, Jasen Rauch and Keith Wallen and produced it with Bruch and Rauch; Burnley, Rauch and Wallen stack up the guitars, Shaun Foist drums, and Ben Grosse mixed. Radio grabbed it fast: it entered the Mainstream Rock chart at 38 as the week's biggest gainer.
The video is a grim revenge tale. A father whose daughter has gone missing finds her body by a creek, a Native American woman shows him a vision of the killer, a man from the search party, and he turns into a monster and nearly beats him to death before his daughter's angel stops him.
