Nonpoint has released two versions of its new single, “Red Yeti”, giving fans two different takes on the track ahead of the arrival of the band’s eleventh studio album, The Last Word. The record is scheduled for release on September 18, 2026 through Nonpoint’s independent label, 361 Degrees Records LLC.
The standard version of “Red Yeti” is available immediately as an instant-gratification track for fans who pre-save the album. At the same time, the band has also unveiled a second version featuring Skye Sweetnam of Sumo Cyco, adding her distinctive vocals and energy to the song. Together, the two recordings offer different interpretations of the same track while introducing the next phase of Nonpoint’s career.
The album’s first single, “Is It”, has already gained traction at Active Rock radio. Upon its release, it became the No. 1 Most Added track and has since climbed into the Top 50 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart.
Speaking about the new album, vocalist Elias Soriano said: “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. We’re pushing back against expectation and pushing forward into our own next chapter.”
Discussing the meaning behind “Is It”, Soriano explained: “‘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.”
Soriano also shared the idea behind the album artwork, saying: “This album cover tells a piece of our story. 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.”
