Nonpoint Debuts New Single, Lyric Video

Nonpoint returned this week with a brand new single and lyric video.

The band premiered its new single, ‘Heartless‘ Wednesday along with the song’s companion lyric video. Musically speaking, the song’s arrangement is everything that audiences have come to expect from Nonpoint throughout its two decade-plus life. The sharp cut of the guitars and the rough vocal delivery of front man Elias Soriano to give the song such a powerful presentation. Meanwhile the bass and the drums add another layer of punch to fully engage and entertain listeners even more.

Lyrically, the song comes across as delivering the familiar message of individuality, and does so by using the classic story of the Wizard of Oz to present that forceful, defiant message.

Soriano touched on the song’s theme briefly in a comment.

“’Ruthless’ introduced you to a dark, re-imagined Tinman,” Soriano said. “Our new single ‘Heartless’ will give you a peek inside the emptiness that drives his rusted cogs toward his target, Emerald City.”

Nonpoint debuted ‘Ruthless‘ last year.

In other news, Nonpoint recently announced an upcoming live North American run dubbed “The Emerald Cities Tour 2023.” The tour is scheduled to launch March 2 in Virginia Beach, VA and to run through

March 26 in San Antonio, TX and also features performances in cities nationwide, such as Greensboro, NC; Johnson City, TN and Tulsa, OK.

The tour’s schedule is noted below. Tickets are available here.

Awaken The Giant Tackles Mental Health, Addiction In New Single

Posted on February 17, 2022 by philspicks

Awaken The Giant debuted its latest single this week.

The band premiered its new single, ‘Feel Alive‘ Thursday. The song’s debut comes more than two months after the band unveiled its then latest single, ‘Hypnotize.’

The overall musical arrangement featured in ‘Feel Alive’ presents a familiar melodic hard rock sound and style that fits well into any active rock radio programmer’s playlist. The overall sound is easily comparable to works from the likes of Finger Eleven, Three Days Grace, and others of that ilk. However, the screams that are incorporated into the song’s final bars present an equally interesting metalcore vibe.

The band discussed the song’s lyrical theme in a prepared statement.

“‘Feel Alive’ is a song about being caught up in depression and addiction, being in a crowded situation and not feeling part of it, and feeling eager to fast forward to the future in hopes of a better life and to feel alive again,” the statement reads.

In other news, Awaken The Giant has announced a series of live dates set to launch Feb. 25 in Houston, TX in support of its new EP, Black and Blue. Its release date is under consideration.

The band’s upcoming live run also features a performance alongside the likes of Seether, Nonpoint, and 3 Doors Down April 2 at the CPR Fest in Biloxi, Miss. The band’s tour dates are noted below.

Awaken The Giant Show Dates:

Friday 2/25 Houston, TX @Acadia Bar

Sunday 2/27 Tulsa, Oklahoma w/Kingdom Collapse @ The Vanguard

Monday 2/28 Memphis, Tennessee w/Kingdom Collapse @ Growlers

Tuesday 3/1 Fort Walton Beach, FL @ DownTown Music Hall

Saturday 3/5 – Pascagoula, Mississippi @ The Celtic Irish Pub

Friday 3/11 Katy, TX @The Wildcatter Saloon w/Uncured, Versus Me & Madame Mayhem

Friday 3/18 New Orleans, Louisiana @ Babylon Music & Sports Bar

Saturday 4/2 CPR FEST with 3 Doors Down, Seether, Badflower, Nonpoint

Black & Blue has produced not only its title track as a single, but also ‘I Fooled You‘ and ‘Hypnotize.’ The track listing for Feel Alive is noted below.

Black & Blue Tracklisting:

1. Feel Alive

2. 2 Pump Chump

3. Hypnotize

4. I Fooled You

5. Make Believe

6. Seen Enough

Artifas Waxes Philosophical In New Single; Announces New Live Dates With Nonpoint

Posted on December 17, 2021 by philspicks

Courtesy: Imagen Records/Warner Music Group

Artifas premiered its latest single single this week.

The band premiered its new single, ‘Legacy‘ Friday. The song is the fourth single from the band’s forthcoming album, Reflections, which is scheduled for release Jan. 14 through Imagen Records/Warner Music Group. The record has also produced the singles, ‘Safe,‘ ‘Leave Me For Dead‘ and ‘Cut Me Out.‘

The musical arrangement featured in ‘Legacy’ is unique from its counterparts in the album. In the case of this song, the arrangement is more of an aggro rock sound where the other songs are more emocore in their approach.

The lyrical theme featured in the band’s new single is a philosophical rumination about the mark that we make on the world during our lives, according to a statement from the band.

“Legacy is a question, both to ourselves and our listeners,” the statement reads. “The question is what will you leave behind when your time is up? This is something we ask ourselves constantly. You only get one life. Are you doing everything you can to live the best life you can? In the end will you be satisfied with the legacy you leave behind?”

In other news, Artifas is scheduled to serve as support for Nonpoint’s upcoming live run. Nonpoint’s upcoming tour dates are makeup dates for dates cancelled this year due to COVID diagnoses among the band and a traffic incident that temporarily sidelined the band.

Artfas’ live dates with Nonpoint are noted below.

Front man Elias Soriano gave audiences a brief explanation of the record’s new song in a prepared statement.

“This song sums up our view on how we approached independence from the very beginning,” he said. “We will be small but mighty. Like the song says, ‘I may be one man, but I’m a death squad.’ We give everything we got with ultimate absolution.”

Ruthless has already produced a cover of Prince’s ‘When Doves Cry‘ and the EP’s title track as singles. The EP’s track listing is noted below.

Get Better

Nonpoint Debuts ‘When Doves Cry’ Video

Posted on November 1, 2021 by philspicks

Nonpoint opened the new week with a new video.

The band premiered the video for its cover of Prince’s ‘When Doves Cry‘ Monday. The video’s premiere comes more than a month after the band premiered the song by itself. The song is available to stream and download here.

Nonpoint’s new video is a relatively minimalist presentation. It opens with front man Elias Soriano on camera performing his part and blends that with footage of drummer Robb Rivera adding his subtle touches to the song. As the song reaches its peak, the black and white presentation expands into full color and presents the band performing the song in a sound stage, complete with solid white backdrop.

Where Prince’s original is a full-on 80s-influenced song in its arrangement, Nonpoint’s rendition takes the song’s lyrics (which seem to present a subject who is talking to another about their broken relationship) into full account with the mood and energy that it establishes.

The brooding approach to the verses do well to help translate the pain and frustration felt by the song’s subject while the choruses bring that frustration and pain to a peak each time. That emotion is heightened through the song’s overall instrumentation, enhancing the song’s presentation even more.

Front man Elias Soriano talked about the band’s take on the song in a prepared statement.

“Our fans throughout the years have always had a quiet romance with the songs we like to cover,” the statement reads. “Seeing that our biggest showing in that category, our cover of Phil Collins ‘In The Air Tonight,’ was a suggestion from a friend and fan of the band, we thought it only fitting we let all our fans have a chance to throw their hats in the ring this time. So in the middle of a global pandemic, we threw up a bracket style voting tournament with a list of contenders from Metallica to DMX. As fans voted over a few weeks, it was exciting to watch it go from 16 songs to the final two, Metallica’s – Nothing Else Matters vs Prince’s – When Doves Cry. When they chose Prince, the real work began. We went through version after version. We knew we had to do it justice in the biggest way we could as tribute to Prince and still make it Nonpoint. I’m happy to report from initial response among the few who have heard it is exciting and we look forward to our fans singing it for years to come.”

In other news, Nonpoint recently announced a series of dates that were re-scheduled due separately to a traffic incident and to COVID diagnoses in two of the band members. The re-scheduled dates are noted below.

The following shows have been rescheduled to the following dates in 2022:
1/7/2022 Indianapolis, IN @ Emerson Theater
1/8/2022 Battle Creek, MI @ The Music Factory
1/9/2022 Ft. Wayne, IN @ Piere’s
1/11/2022 Cleveland, OH @ Beachland Ballroom
1/12/2022 Syracuse, NY @ Lost Horizon
1/14/2022 Hampton Beach, NH @ Wallys
1/15/2022 Easton, PA @ One Centre Square
1/16/2022 Asbury Park, NJ @ House of Independents
1/18/2022 Charleston, WV @ Rock City Bake Company
1/19/2022 Charlotte, NC @ Amos
1/20/2022 Huntsville, AL @ Sidetracks Music Hall
