Nonpoint Information
|
|
'Nonpoint' was formed in Miami in 1997, an alternative metal/rap-metal foursome that consists of two Puerto Ricans (vocalist Elias Soriano and drummer Robb Rivera) and two whites (guitarist Andrew Goldman and bassist KB). On almost every album they have recorded, Sorian (a native of New Jersey) sings and raps in Spanish, although the vast majority of Nonpoint's lyrics are in English. "Nonpoint" is derived from Nonpoint Factor, which was the name of the outfit that Rivera fronted in Puerto Rico before moving to South Florida. Nonpoint's first album, Separate Yourself, was released independently in 1997 and was followed by 1999's Struggle on Jugular and 2000's Statement (with the single What A Day).
After several tours with artists like Sevendust, Linkin Park, and Staind, the band stepped back into the studio and returned in the summer of 2002 with Development. The band spent the following year touring extensively, most notably making an appearance at Ozzfest and WKRLs K-Rockathon. They released Recoil in 2004, a 13-track album that included a cover of Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight."
Their fourth album To The Pain was released November 08, 2005. The first single of this fourth album called Bullet With A Name reached the top 5 of the most played new songs in its first week in October 2005.
