Point Of No Return (2)

Point of No Return was a vegan/edge metalcore band. The band started in 1996, as a side project of Self conviction members in São Paulo, Brazil. The band's lyrics were focused on "Third World struggles" and animal liberation issues. Their sound was described as a mix of Earth Crisis metal mosh with death metal elements. The band had three singers, like their North American counterpart, Path of Resistance. Point Of No Return's first CD, "Centelha" (Sparks), was released by Liberation Records (BR) and Catalyst Records (US). The band toured Europe twice, in 2000 and 2002, and toured Argentina in 2001. After a seven months break and a supposed "last show" in Argentina, the band came back with a new album in 2002, "Liberdade Imposta, Liberdade Conquistada". The songs were more deep and melancholic, but also with a strong influence from bands like Cro-Mags, Judge and Napalm Death. The lyrics, this time completely in Portuguese, dealt about political and social issues. Point of No Return played its last show in 2006.
