NONPOINT: 'Miracle' Video Released
March 10, 2010"Miracle", the new video from the Ft. Lauderdale hard rock quartet NONPOINT, can be viewed below. The clip 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. Rage says, "Elias [Soriano, NONPOINT singer] and I have known each other for a number of years but never had the chance to work together. When he sent me 'Miracle', I was blown away as I think this is one of, if not the best song NONPOINT has ever recorded.
"I wanted to bring Elias' idea to life in a downtown Los Angeles stage.
"Elias wanted to approach this video without putting a lot of focus on the band. He wanted to see someone gain victory though faced with tremendous odds.
"We found some super-hot MMA female fighters to mix it up for real and shot it all in super-slow motion, which allowed for some very cool visual moments."
Adds Soriano, "It's got hot girls kickin' ass! Need I say more?"
"Miracle" will be available for download on iTunes and online music retail sites on March 30. The forthcoming album, also titled "Miracle", will be released May 4 via the band's own 954 Records in partnership with Rocket Science Ventures / RED / Sony.
Commented Elias: "I wrote this song as a gigantic 'Fuck You' to all those that doubted this band's will and perseverance. It's for all the naysayers that tried to lead us into defeat, and the fans that have stood behind us for over ten years. It set the tone for the whole record. We're here to wage war on the airwaves, and to stop us is going to take a fucking miracle."
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. With a new guitarist, new management, and a new label, NONPOINT has returned stronger than ever.
MUDVAYNE and HELLYEAH members Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett produced the forthcoming album. Chad Gray says, "I've been a friend and fan of NONPOINT for ten years. To have the opportunity to work with them artistically from a production level was amazing. I was elated when asked to sing on a track. They're all great guys and great friends and I've very proud to have been a part of this process. The sky is the limit for what these guys are capable of."
Formed in 1998, the hard rock quartet from Ft. Lauderdale burst on the scene with its major label debut, "Statement", on MCA Records. Since then, they have sold nearly 700,000 albums and played over 1,000 shows. Known for its dynamic performances, NONPOINT has shared the stage with acts such as MUDVAYNE, SEVENDUST, DISTURBED, HELLYEAH, DROWNING POOL and PAPA ROACH, as well as touring with Ozzfest.
NONPOINT kicked off a co-headlining tour with COLD on February 16 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
