NONPOINT: 'Frontlines' Viral Video Released
August 4, 2010A "viral video" for "Frontlines", the new single from the South Florida hard rock quartet NONPOINT, can be viewed below.
NONPOINT lead singer Elias Soriano, who put together the clip, commented, "'Frontlines' is for our country's armed forces. They risk their lives every day to protect the rights, liberties and lives of people whose names they don't even know.
"After hours of looking at photos online of soldiers, solely for the sake of a picture to be used in the artwork for 'Frontlines, I was so moved and inspired by their commitment. The emotional and physical risk our soldiers take for strangers every day — I had to create this as a reminder.
"We are blessed that we are protected by such strong hearts."
As a "thank-you" to the men and women of our armed forces, NONPOINT will donate a portion of the proceeds from "Frontlines" to various military charities.
NONPOINT has been on the road nearly nonstop since the beginning of the year, sharing the stage with COLD, SEVENDUST, DROWNING POOL, HELLYEAH and playing memorable sets at Rock On The Range and U.K.'s Download festival.
To coincide with the band's participation in this year's Ozzfest, the "Frontlines" single will impact rock radio on August 10.
NONPOINT will be on the road through October, with special guest EGYPT CENTRAL joining them on September 4 onward.
"Frontlines" comes off NONPOINT's latest album, "Miracle", which sold around 8,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 60 on The Billboard 200 chart.
"Miracle" was released in Europe on June 14 via Powerage Records. The CD was made available in the U.S. on May 4 via the band's own 954 Records in partnership with Rocket Science Ventures / RED / Sony.
NONPOINT's "Miracle" video was directed by Dale "Rage" Resteghini, whose credits include videos for ANTHRAX, FALL OUT BOY, LIL WAYNE, STRAIGHT LINE STITCH, THE GAME, BUSTA RHYMES, SOULJA BOY and many others.
Last December, NONPOINT released a digital EP, "Cut the Cord", featuring acoustic versions of NONPOINT classics, including "What A Day" and "Circles", to rave reviews.
