Nonpoint has rolled out a lyric video for its new single “Is It”, a track set to hit all major streaming platforms on May 8. The song marks the first taste of the band’s next full-length release, The Last Word, due out in late summer 2026.

Working alongside its independent label 361 Degrees Records LLC, Nonpoint is treating “Is It” as a clear starting point for what comes next. Instead of a standard release cycle, the band introduced the track through a hand-drawn animated lyric video, giving it a raw visual edge that lines up with the song’s tone while offering an early glimpse into The Last Word.

Frontman Elias Soriano framed the bigger picture behind the release: “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.”

On the meaning behind “Is It”, Elias Soriano pointed to a more personal angle: “‘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.”

He also broke down the concept behind the album artwork, tying it directly into the band’s current mindset: “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.”

Nonpoint has already started bringing new material to the stage. The band performed “Is It” and “Red Yeti” live during its April 25 headlining show at Ritz Ybor in Tampa, Florida. “Red Yeti” features a guest spot from Sumo Cyco vocalist Skye Sweetnam. The show kicked off Nonpoint’s The Outta Control Tour, with support from Soil and Sumo Cyco.
