At what point does true metal just become power metal? Or were they secretly the same this whole time? Does it even matter when the music rules? Japanese headbangers Significant Point bring up all these questions with their wonderfully rad new record, Into The Storm. From the unique album art on you know you are in for something special. Significant Point are a band who blur conventions but do it in a way that feels delightfully familiar and very 80s. Their big vocals and over the top performances are a delight to sink your teeth into and indicative of countless triumphs to come.
There's really something to be said for speed/power metal that is this fun and over the top. The hyper melodic guitars and huge vocals that define tracks like 'Run For Your Life' are only aided by big choruses. There is a sense of fun throughout these albums that points towards something greater and leaves fans of all stripes in awe of the heavy metal magic that Significant Point conjure up. They may not be crafting something totally unique - but they are a blast to spend time with and really delve into. It makes for a compelling listen that leaves fans more obsessed than ever, reveling in the high power potency of the band.
So yes - Significant Point are a little bit cheesy and yes they play into tropes we all know, but on some level that's the point. They build on these classic ideas that we all fell in love with back in the day as a way to show that that music will never die and in fact remains virulent and fun. Into The Storm is a treat for any headbangers ears and should be treated as such. This is a band who truly understand the joy of heavy metal and when they execute at a million miles per hour it's hard not to be enamored with their energetic exultations.
