Nonpoint will release its eleventh studio album, The Last Word, on September 18, 2026, through 361 Degrees Records.
Alongside the announcement, the band has premiered the official music video for its latest single, “Is It”. Fans can pre-save or pre-order the album here or through major digital platforms and participating retailers.
The new single has already gained traction at Active Rock radio, debuting as the No. 1 Most Added track upon release before quickly moving into the Top 50 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart.
Frontman Elias Soriano discussed the meaning behind the single, saying: “‘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.”
For Nonpoint, The Last Word represents more than simply adding another record to its catalog. According to Soriano, the album reflects the band’s determination to keep moving forward.
“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,” Elias says. “We’re pushing back against expectation and pushing forward into our own next chapter.”
Soriano also explained the symbolism behind the album artwork, which features a pencil as its central image.
“This album cover tells a piece of our story,” he says. “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.”
The album announcement also comes with news of Nonpoint‘s “The Even More Outta Control Tour”, which begins on July 25, 2026. The shows will feature new songs from The Last Word alongside the band’s established live favorites, giving fans an early taste of the upcoming record.
After more than two decades together, Nonpoint continues to be a consistent force in hard rock, building a dedicated following through relentless touring, charting singles and a reputation for energetic live performances. With The Last Word, the band signals that it has no plans to ease up.
The group has also joined the roster of artists endorsed by Heavys, an audio company focused on headphones, earbuds, and other products designed specifically for rock and metal listeners.
Formed in South Florida in 1997 by vocalist Elias Soriano and drummer Robb Rivera, Nonpoint built its name through groove-heavy riffs, aggressive live shows and socially aware lyrics. The band broke through with songs such as “What A Day” from Statement and became a regular presence on tours and festivals including Ozzfest and Rock On The Range, sharing stages with Sevendust, Disturbed and Stone Sour. Their cover of Phil Collins‘s “In The Air Tonight”, later featured in the film Miami Vice, remains one of the band’s best-known recordings.
