ARTIST: NONPOINT
ALBUM: THE LAST WORD
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 18TH 2026
LABEL: 361 DEGREES RECORDS
Nonpoint’s latest offering, The Last Word, dropped on September 18th via 361 Degrees Records stands out as one of the most complete and heavy releases in their extensive catalog. Striking an impressive balance between honoring their classic early-2000s roots and pushing into new sonic territory, the band proves once again why they remain a benchmark for consistency in heavy music.
Right from the start, “Settled” sets an explosive tone that immediately demands a place at the top of their live setlists. Tracks like “Failing the Conversation” show off the dual guitar work of Jaysin Zeilstra and Rasheed Thomas, who weave nostalgic Statement-era energy into modern, refined arrangements. Meanwhile, the rhythm section powered by Robb Rivera and Adam Woloszyn grounds the record with immense weight, giving Elias Soriano’s vocal delivery the ultimate backdrop.
Standout moments come fast. “Dial Tones” delivers an absolute masterclass in heavy riffing with a seamless track transition into “Off the Hook” that elevates the listening experience. What truly elevates The Last Word is its diversity and execution; every track feels deliberate, distinct, and deeply thought out rather than rushed. Trimming any filler to deliver a lean 10-track collection, the band keeps the momentum high throughout, leaving you only wishing there were a few more songs to dig into. It is a triumphant next chapter for Nonpoint, a sharp, heavy, and diverse record that demands to be heard live.
