Bio:
Nonpoint only becomes fiercer with each subsequent album. Their ninth full-length offering and first for Spinefarm Records, The Poison Red, is no exception either. After 19 years in the game, the Florida quintet sustains the same energy that sparked its foundation back in 1997. The riffs crack with neck-snapping intensity, the bass and drums forge an unmatched groove, and the vocals rapidly recount stories of pain and perseverance. The Poison Red remains as raw, ripping, and real as these musicians—Elias Soriano [vocals], Robb Rivera [drums], Rasheed Thomas [rhythm guitar], Adam Woloszyn [bass], and B.C. Kochmit [lead guitar]—get.Nonpoint are on their way back with a new album this summer. The band will release The Poison Red on July 8 which was recorded in February 2016 at Uptown Studios in Chicago IL with Rob Ruccia.In early 2016, Nonpoint closed out almost 2 years of touring behind 2014’s The Return record, which yielded the Active Rock radio hits “Breaking Skin” and “Misery”. Fueled by that continued success and their time on the road, they immediately began writing for album number nine. This time around, the band amped up the aggression musically, while Elias drew inspiration from a whole new well altogether.The first single “Generation Idiot” is already making the rounds on radio. With some nifty guitar fret work at the beginning, it’s evident that Nonpoint are ready to rock. Frontman Elias Soriano gives the song plenty of aggression and attitude as he nimbly maneuvers around some rather tongue-twisty lyrics, setting all the Internet tough guys and text messaging fair-weather friends in their place.“Over the past five years, I began to notice people, myself included, getting lost in a few of the simple things – life, art, passions,” Soriano explains. “Everything became a reality TV blog with pictures and comments, likes and dislikes, online bullies and online tough guys. And no one is talking anymore. Everything is texts, emails, replies and denies. They’re all anchors. They all suck the life out of life. It creates zombies with unhinged appetites. It’s a real zombie apocalypse and, motherfucker, I’m grabbing a machete and a shot gun.“This record tells a lot of stories,” says Soriano about their new disc. “Going from guts to glory. Chasing impossible dreams down the rabbit hole. Harsh and honest words with consequences attached. Uncovered rules for the weak, made by the wicked and heartless. Recalling fight or flight moments with a deep breath. And it all starts with a warning to all the world’s generations past, present and future to look up, look forward and live their lives loose from social media shackles, online bullying, the devaluation of art and music, and to not be absorbed by the dramatic, megalomaniacal side of politics. Life is right outside of your phone and newsfeed. Go live it and play this record while you do. It’ll all start to make sense.”
Album:
Nonpoint, the iconic nu-metal band, are back with ‘The Last Word’, out September 18th, 2026, via 361 Degrees Records.Nu-metal was my gateway into alternative and heavy music, but Nonpoint were not one of the bands that encouraged it. I was fully aware of them, but what they offered didn’t really resonate with me and I’ve not really followed their story since. Which makes writing about this, their 11th album, quite an interesting experience. Especially as it’s fair to say that Nonpoint have long since transcended their nu-metal moniker.It’s also fair to say that they’re still embracing their past and The Last Word is somewhat of a celebration of who they are and how they’ve got to this point. While also definitely stating that they’re not going anywhere, this is just the next chapter of the band.A chapter that begins with a bang courtesy of Failing the Conversation. The alternative groove blended with heavy nu-infused tones, backed up vocalist Elias Soriano’s smooth voice, makes for a strong start. It’s a good mix of classic and contemporary sounds, something that continues into the melodically charged Is It. A personal favourite as it has some biting moments too.The nu-vibes are strong in Crowd Control though. Here, we get rapping vocals, a really thick and heavy guitar sound, and some really punchy drumbeats. The chorus being designed to get a crowd singing and moving along. It ends in stylish fashion, flowing nicely into the title track, which just so happens to have tons of explosive energy, and Shoreline, which bounces along with infectious intent.That brings us to the middle part of the album and at this stage it’s clear that the album has plenty of variety too. Nonpoint have gone the experimental route and even though not everything works, enough does to make it memorable. Although they’re more than willing to slip back into ‘type’ when it comes to delivering intense and fiery efforts like Dial Tones and Settled (dig into the layers though and you’ll find a fair bit more going on). No complaints though as they’re both bangers.Less so is Off the Hook. It’s the chorus that fails to hit here for me. Which is a shame as I like the heavy and crunchy verses. Contrast that with Red Yeti, which has an infectious chorus and some wild rhythmic parts, and Fine Print, that balances a likable chorus with big hooks and fierce riffs.Personally, I appreciate that the album is kept tight at just ten tracks and that most tracks come in at the three-minute mark. It meant I never really found myself bored by what I was hearing. I may not have called myself a Nonpoint fan before, and I’m not sure I will now, but I am a fan of this album at least.
