This week, we're scratching The Itch to have The Last Word! Or at least to have the man saying that word as our guest. Elias Soriano of Nonpoint joins us to talk about the band's new album and why he considers it the best work they've ever done. Elias is as real as they come, so this is no platitude. And The Itch had a very unique opportunity to hear the album for ourselves... and we don't think he's wrong.

We also talk about how the band successfully defies the "legacy act" title 30 years into their career, the chemistry Elias has on the mic with Skye Sweetnam of Sumo Cyco, and how he never stops trying to challenge himself as a vocalist.

Plus, The Itch gets to the bottom of guitarist Jason Zeilstra's decision to cut his locks, learns about a few exciting guests planned for the album's deluxe edition, and has our minds blown when we learn that "dread notes" are a real thing. This one's been a long time coming. Enjoy.

For the rest of our Nonpoint interviews, check out the following:

Jason and Robb pt 1, Jason and Robb pt 2, Jason solo, Francesca Ludikar, Jason and Rasheed, Jason and Adam
