What better day to drop a song titled “Heartless” than on Valentine’s Day?
Alternative metal outlet Nonpoint have done just that, releasing a new single and subsequent lyric video that can be viewed at the bottom of this page. The single ties into the group’s renewed interest with The Wizard Of Oz, first published as a novel in 1900 before being adapted to the silver screen in 1939. Nonpoint frontman Elias Soriano spoke on this, sharing how “Heartless” ties into previous singles and follows a story.
“‘Ruthless‘ introduced you to a dark, re-imagined Tinman. Our new single ‘Heartless‘ will give you a peek inside the emptiness that drives his rusted cogs toward his target, Emerald City.”
The band’s lead guitarist Jaysin Zeilstra commented of the overall vision with the singles and accompanying tour.
“We dabbled in it with ‘Ruthless’. We made our whole aesthetic about ‘Ruthless’, from our stage show to our look to everything, and we’re doing that tenfold with ‘Heartless’ now. So whatever comes next I think is gonna blow our minds (laughs). We had the song done and the idea built from there … it just got bigger and bigger and more ambitious. We’re super stoked ‘cause I don’t think this is like anything the band has done with this big a production and where we’re going with it. The club’s going to be involved and when people walk in and they see the vibe … I mean, we’ve thought everything out for this, even the music that’s playing between bands.”
Coming up in March, Nonpoint will embark on ‘The Emerald Cities Tour‘ alongside Blacktop Mojo and Sumo Cyco. Check out the lyric video for “Heartless” below!
