Finnish metallers BURNING POINT filmed their performance at this year's Jalometalli metal music festival — which was held August 14-15, 2009 at Club Teatria in Oulu, Finland — for a forthcoming DVD. The band says, "a huge editing process is on the way and the few clips we've seen so far… Oh man, it will look awesome!"

BURNING POINT is currently working on its as-yet-untitled fifth CD, tentatively due in 2010. The group says, "We have about 15 brand new songs to work on for the next album. [On August 26], Jussi [Ontero] recorded drums to five new [tracks]."

BURNING POINT's fourth album, "Empyre", was released in February 2009 via Metal Heaven. The artwork for the CD was handled by Felipe Machado Franco who had previously worked with such artists as ICED EARTH, AXEL RUDI PELL and BLAZE BAYLEY.
