Nonpoint’s album ‘The Poison Red’ marks their ninth release and their debut on Spinefarm Records. The band, hailing from Florida, has been a notable presence in the nu-metal scene, offering a distinctive blend of groove metal and hard rock that sets them apart from their peers. While they may not have achieved the same level of success as bands like Korn or Slipknot, Nonpoint’s musical evolution has been commendable over their nearly two-decade-long career.
With ‘The Poison Red’, Nonpoint delivers a hard rock album that stands out in 2016’s music landscape. Vocalist Elias Soriano’s poignant lyrics touch on societal issues such as racism, technology dependence, and the prevalence of deception. The album showcases a range of musical influences, incorporating elements of blues, thrash, southern metal, and Latin music into their signature groove. Tracks like “El Diablo” exemplify the band’s musical prowess, combining refined tempo with powerful hooks.
Despite some inevitable criticisms that come with the territory of being a hard rock/nu-metal band in the current music scene, ‘The Poison Red’ is a compelling listen that balances raw emotion with catchy choruses and solid riffs. Songs like “No Running Allowed” and “Divided Conquer Them” demonstrate Nonpoint’s songwriting maturity and musical depth, making this album a standout release. The combination of lyrical substance and musical variety makes ‘The Poison Red’ a gem worth exploring, transcending genre boundaries to offer a fulfilling listening experience.
As Nonpoint continues to evolve and refine their sound, ‘The Poison Red’ serves as a testament to their resilience and creative growth. The album not only captures the band’s musical prowess but also reflects the socio-political climate of modern America through Soriano’s introspective lyrics. With its blend of anger, introspection, and powerful instrumentation, ‘The Poison Red’ cements Nonpoint’s position as a force to be reckoned with in the rock music scene.
