From the moment they launched into "Breaking Skin," Nonpoint made it clear they weren't just warming up the crowd – they were there to deliver a full-throttle rock assault. The band powered through a tight set of eight more songs, each delivered with a raw intensity that had the audience instantly engaged.
A standout aspect of their performance was the undeniable connection between vocalist Elias Soriano and guitarist Jaysin Zeilstra. Soriano was a magnetic frontman, prowling the stage with a fierce energy, his powerful vocals cutting through the packed room. He wasn't just singing; he was embodying the music, his every movement radiating passion.
Equally captivating was Zeilstra. His guitar work was sharp and dynamic, laying down heavy riffs with apparent ease. He wasn't just standing in the background; he was an active force, feeding off the crowd's energy and delivering a performance that was as visually engaging as it was sonically impressive.
Nonpoint’s song selection kept the energy levels high, each track hitting with impact. The crowd responded in kind, a sea of headbanging and raised fists. When they finally closed their set with the anthemic "Bullet," the room was buzzing. It was the perfect ending to a performance that left no doubt about Nonpoint's ability to command a stage.
Nonpoint was, in a word, Killer. They brought a relentless energy and a genuine passion to their set, making them the ideal opener to prime the audience for Seether. If this performance was any indication, Nonpoint is a band that deserves to be seen, and they certainly left a lasting impression on this Reno crowd.
