Nonpoint’s “Painful Statements” tour, marking the 25th anniversary of their debut album Statements and the 20th anniversary of their breakout album To the Pain, made a thunderous stop at The Barrelhouse in Chattanooga, TN for an unforgettable night.
Before the show, Outlander Media Network had the privilege of sitting down with Elias Soriano for an interview. The excitement in the room was electric, a buzz of anticipation filling the air. I don’t usually spill backstage secrets, but I have to say—Elias and his crew are some of the most down-to-earth, genuine people I’ve met in the industry.
The Openers Set the Tone
Kicking off the night was Heartsick, an explosive metalcore force that made sure the audience knew it was time to throw down. Their intense energy and crowd engagement made them a must-see act. But that was just the beginning…
Then came Crobot, taking the stage like a wrecking ball of pure hard rock fury. Their headbanging, high-voltage set ignited the crowd, setting the perfect stage for what was to come.
Nonpoint Delivers
By the time Nonpoint took the stage, the crowd was ready to erupt. The band took us on a journey, weaving through 25 years of music, evolution, and raw emotion. Elias Soriano’s connection with the audience was undeniable, his heartfelt gratitude evident in every word and every note.
And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Nonpoint show without that signature high-energy, hard-hitting intensity. This performance was no exception. The pit was relentless, and I can personally vouch for that—press pass be damned, I got swept into the chaos. A huge shoutout to the guys behind me who caught me more times than I can count.
A Celebration of Tenacity
This tour isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration of Nonpoint’s perseverance, their relentless drive, and the unwavering loyalty of their fans. The energy, the passion, and the sheer fun of a Nonpoint show are undeniable and unavoidable.
If you haven’t seen Nonpoint live yet, add them to your bucket list. You won’t regret it.
