Nonpoint is a heavy metal band that forged a name for itself in the bustling metal scene of South Florida with its formula of nu metal and hard rock. Formed in 1998 as trio, the band independently released its debut album, Separate Yourself, before signing with the late Jugular Records and releasing Struggle, in 1999. When its label decayed only a year later, the band signed with major label MCA Records and released Statement, in 2000 and embarked on a national tour that included appearances on the Ozzfest tour of 2001. With each subsequent album, Nonpoint began to break into the realm of mainstream rock, particularly at the middle to end of the 2000s with the release of 2005's To the Pain, and 2007's Vengeance.
