Multi-platinum rock band Saliva have released their new album, Breaking Through, today via Judge & Jury Records. Alongside the album, the band has announced a co-headlining U.S. tour with Drowning Pool, marking a major milestone as they celebrate 25 years of their breakthrough era and the enduring legacy of the albums Every Six Seconds and Sinners.
At the heart of the release is the album's title track, "Breaking Through," a deeply personal anthem inspired by frontman Bobby Amaru's journey to sobriety. Both the song and the album chronicle the difficult realities of addiction, mental health, grief, and self-discovery before ultimately arriving at hope and resilience. The accompanying music video reinforces these themes through the story of a man imprisoned by addiction as his life slowly slips away beyond the walls surrounding him.
Bobby Amaru shares, “'Breaking Through' is a project about confronting adversity and finding the strength to move beyond it. I was deeply affected by the recent losses and hardships experienced throughout the music community, including Wayne Swinny, Ozzy Osbourne, Sam Rivers of Limp Bizkit, and Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down. This album explores the weight of grief while refusing to surrender to it. Each song represents a uniquely different facet of loss, resilience, and healing, coming together to paint a powerful portrait of what it means to endure, persevere, and ultimately embrace the light.”
The album features collaborations with Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch, and Austin John Winkler, founder and former frontman of Hinder. Together, the songs reflect the belief that healing isn't instantaneous, it is built one day, one decision, and one breakthrough at a time.
Breaking Through was produced by Bobby Amaru and Steve Perreira, with executive production from Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Skillet, Daughtry) and Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace. The acclaimed production team brings additional weight to an album that balances arena-ready hooks with raw emotional honesty, allowing Saliva's most personal collection of songs to hit with both power and authenticity.
The release arrives as Saliva embarks on an exciting new chapter. Their upcoming co-headlining U.S. tour with Drowning Pool celebrates a catalog that has defined hard rock for over two decades while introducing fans to a record that reflects where the band stands today, honest, battle-tested, and stronger than ever.
Joint VIP experiences featuring both Drowning Pool and Saliva will also be available for fans looking to celebrate this milestone tour in an even bigger way. VIP packages including exclusive experiences and limited offerings will go on sale soon.
From the explosive energy that first made Saliva a staple of modern rock radio to the vulnerability found throughout Breaking Through, the band continues to prove why their music resonates across generations.
