Nonpoint is an American rock band from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The band currently consists of vocalist Elias Soriano, drummer Robb Rivera, rhythm guitarist Rasheed Thomas, bassist Adam Woloszyn, and lead guitarist B.C. Kochmit.
Nonpoint have been described as groove metal, hard rock, heavy metal, rap metal, nu metal, and alternative metal. When asked if he viewed Nonpoint as a metal band or a rock band, vocalist Elias Soriano stated 'Both, I think. A heavy rock band. Yeah, we’re definitely both. We don’t try to pigeonhole ourselves.'
Originally playing an aggressive style, Nonpoint moved to more melodic sounds with their 2002 album Development, due to pressure from their record label MCA. The 2004 album Recoil marked a return to the band's heavier roots. In a 2000 interview, Soriano reflected on the band's musical influences, stating 'We all have a lot of separate influences. My drummer comes from a more metal/hardcore background. My bass player is from the straight edge hardcore, Earth Crisis, Hatebreed, stuff like that. My guitar player is really into Stevie Ray Vaughn and blues and a lot of industrial stuff like Nine Inch Nails. Me personally, I grew up on a lot of R&B, a lot of rap. I'm into that smooth, soulful sound.'
