Passion. Not a word you all that often any more when it comes to music, but Crossingpoint have it by the tractor-load. They're not making music to be famous, or because it's a good career, they're making music because they need to, because it's etched somewhere deep in their souls. These four guys from Durban, South African have been pumping out a spine chilling breed of positive and progressive energetic hardcore since 1998. Today the band are best described as playing a brutal synthesis of metal and hardcore with a positive, relevant message.

In a world where heavy music is slowly being embraced by a wider audience, many bands have watered down their message to suit the listener. Where it used to be about an uncompromising message in response to societal problems, these days it seems to mostly be about the sound, with any sort of message being secondary. Crossingpoint have stayed true to their roots by playing creative, energy-driven music with a message that demands application. It's hard to go to a crossingpoint show and leave unchanged. Whether you're screaming your lungs out with the band or following their lyrics on their lyric sheets handed out before each show, theirs is a power and a passion that few bands consistently achieve.

Crossingpoint recorded & released their self-titled album independently in october 2004. All stops have been pulled out in terms of its recording, production and presentation. In what is a first for a South African band, it comes as an eye catching 6 panel 'digipak' package!

Real change happens in the minds and hearts of individuals who can go on to affect others. Crossingpoint's urgent and honest message deals with issues such as sexism, loyalty and personal responsibility, and is aimed at reaching the individual in a thoughtful and inspiring way.
