            Nonpoint, which seems to lead the Bieler Bros. team with their experience, determination and surviving ability, have placed a new album on the market and airwaves once again. The band that has outlasted many highs and lows including multiple label switches release “Vengeance.”  The mix of hard and heavy with Elias multiple singing vocals have copies them selves onto the new installment. Listeners are quickly told to gear up for a long heavy experience with the opening tune “Wake Up World.” Perfectly place ahead on many songs, even the title tells up to wake up and get ready! “What I Do Best,” keeps that mood and spirit going with a great follow-up song. Next comes the title track “Vengeance.” This track displays scream drum work and a distinct Nonpoint vibe. “Breathe,” is a mystical track that displays a softer side of the band. “Hands Off” gets right back into the rockier stuff, with the amazing riff work. “Witness” is another amazing song with more soaring drums and riff work. When the album is almost over, “Everybody Down” hits you right in the gut. This track is so show ready it’s scary. Overall this is a smooth and safe album. It does seem that Nonpoint may be stuck in a little rut, but fans will still love the album and that’s all that matters right? The riff work, soaring drums, and vocals gel together so well. This is a good 5^th album for a band that has gone through so much in the decade plus adventure.
