Nonpoint are back, today, with their hard-hitting new lyric video and single ‘Is It’, available everywhere May 8th on all major digital streaming platforms. Nonpoint are not here to age gracefully. They are here to kick the door open, glare at the room, and demand to know who decided they were supposed to mellow out. ‘Is It’ feels like a band that heard every quiet industry whisper about legacy acts and decided to respond with volume instead of politeness. The result is a track that doesn’t just introduce a new era, it practically rolls its eyes at the idea that one was needed in the first place.
The song leans hard into tension, both musically and emotionally. There is a constant push and pull between restraint and release, like the band is daring itself to hold back and then immediately refusing to do so. Elias Soriano’s vocal performance sits right in that friction, shifting between introspection and confrontation without losing grip on either. It gives the track a restless energy that feels intentional rather than chaotic, like every note is part of a larger argument the band is determined to win.
Lyrically, ‘Is It’ taps into that uncomfortable space most people try to sidestep. The second guessing, the what ifs, the realization that good intentions do not always land the way you hoped. Instead of dressing that up in vague metaphors, Nonpoint lean into the bluntness of the question itself. It is direct, a little raw, and refreshingly uninterested in pretending everything ties up neatly. That honesty gives the song weight without dragging it down.
The production matches the attitude. Guitars hit with purpose, drums carry a sense of urgency, and nothing feels overpolished. There is a grit here that suggests the band understands exactly what makes them work and has no interest in sanding it down for the sake of modern trends. If anything, ‘Is It’ sounds like a reminder that experience does not have to mean compromise. Sometimes it just means you know how to hit harder.
As an opening statement for The Last Word, this track does exactly what it needs to do. It sets the tone, raises the stakes, and leaves just enough unanswered to keep you hooked. Nonpoint are not asking for permission to continue. They are making it clear they never needed it. If this is what they sound like when they are supposedly nearing some kind of final chapter, it is hard not to suspect they are enjoying the joke more than anyone else.
About ‘Is It’
‘Is It’ serves as the first release from Nonpoint’s upcoming full-length album The Last Word, arriving in late summer 2026. Both the band and 361 Degrees Records are positioning this track as the opening statement of a new era, setting the tone for the album’s themes and energy of the new record. The release will take the form of a hand-drawn, animated lyric video, offering a unique visual experience that complements the song’s message and listening experience while giving fans an early, immersive look into the creative world of The Last Word.
“In a world that sometimes wants to put a timestamp on creativity, The Last Word is our way of saying we’re just getting started. We’re pushing back against expectation and pushing forward into our own next chapter.”
Elias goes on to explain the concepts behind the song ‘Is It’.
“‘Is It’ is that internal conflict where you question getting too involved? Did I push too hard? Did I ask too much? It’s that feeling of wondering if doing what you thought was right actually meant hurting the people around you.”
Elias explains the bold concept behind his design imagery on the cover.
“This album cover tells a piece of our story. After years of making music, we feel more aligned than ever—musically, visually, and creatively. We’re writing some of the strongest material of our career, our live shows are as powerful as they’ve ever been, and the band feels focused and energized. The pencil on the cover represents what it’s like to be handed one last tool and expected to fit everything you have left to say into it. Not because the ideas are gone, but because longevity often comes with assumptions and limits. The Last Word isn’t about accepting an ending. It’s about challenging that narrative. If this is the pencil we’re being handed, we’re going to use it—and make sure the words written with it still matter.”
Nonpoint is currently on The Outta Control Tour, a high-energy U.S. run featuring special guests SOiL and Sumo Cyco. Nonpoint will be performing new material from their forthcoming album, giving fans an early taste of what’s next from the band while continuing to deliver the sound that has defined their career.
