In Asia it was released (with bonus tracks) by Spiritual Beast Records.
Album was mastered at the Tico Tico Studios ( Sonata Arctica, Sentenced etc) by Ahti Kortelainen and the amazing artwork was once again from the hands of Felipe Machado Franco!
At the time of The Ignitor tour, Jarkko Väisänen played live shows on keyboards with the band as a hired gun. The guys came to a conclusion that maybe he would like to join the band as a solid member. New Years Eve 2013 Burning Point played another memorable live show in their hometown Oulu, Finland at Club Teatria. After show party was the perfect time to raise the question to Jarkko. The look on his face was unforgettable, the Iceman showed a sign of melting but only for a breaf moment. Now the guys had another top notch player with great personality in the band.
It was in the end of 2013 when Nitte and Pete kept in touch with each other on a musical basis. At the same time the guys were thinking about doing something different with or to the band. It didn't take long for everyone to realize that she would be the perfect vocalist for the band. Not only because of her tremendous voice but also personality. It has always been Burning Point's main priorities to have good chemistry within the group and that can be heard and seen on albums and live shows. If you ever get the chance to tour with the group, you'll know.
The next album became to take shape at Helgate and Reindeer Horns Studios. All the songs had been done and it seemed that this album would take way too long to get finished. There was a sign of frustration in the air and clock was ticking towards lead vocal recording sessions. At the same time bassist Jukka Jokikokko had some personal, non band related issues and Pete asked Sammy Nyman to play demo bass tracks so that things would be ready for Nitte to come and record vocals. It was a sad moment for everyone when Jukka declared his decision that he would leave the band. There was no drama involved, a man has to do what a man has to do.
Sammy states: "It was an odd situation for me to go and play demo tracks to BP's next album. I've known the band for years and I've done a few gigs with the guys as a crew member and some hanging out with the band backstage. I've always looked up to their music and mr. Jokikokko has always been one of my favourite bass players." Little did he know when Pete gave him a call and asked him to join the ranks. Another cool and active guy in the band, this will be the perfect line-up for the future endeavors of the band.
The new album took it's final shape in the winter 2014/2015. Now it was time to "hunt" for a record label. It's very common that nowadays demos don't get that much recognition, the band had a killer album in their hands and everyone knew that this it. Sort of a It's now or never- situation. The album was sent to various labels and feedback was very encouraging. Mastermind Pete had his contact to a certain major German label, and that happened to be AFM Records, one of the biggest ones in the industry. Luckily he knew Timo Hoffman, one of the booker guys in the company. Timo had been following the band for years and as he heard the new album, the deal started to happen. After signing it, first lyric video was made from "Find Your Soul", a very good representer of the new Burning Point. The new album will be released June 12th (EU), July 7th (US) and August (Jap). In addition AFM will re-issue the first four BURNING POINT albums "Salvation By Fire" (2001), "Feeding The Flames" (2013), "Burned Down The Enemy"(2007) and "Empyre" (2009), all scheduled for a August release and about to include numerous bonus tracks.

Fall of Thy Kingdom
Burning Point Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the life I have lived
makes me see red
It's time to make the tables turn
all the bridges will burn
[Chorus]
All the secrets unfold
all the stories will be told
it's the Fall of Thy Kingdom
Repeating phrases from the book
your future is already doomed
it's the Fall of Thy Kingdom
Abandoned by your faithful few
breaking the spell
taking our lives from you
Your walls will come crumbling down
you have lost the jeweled crown
[Chorus]
Finally kings and queens
were defeated by the servants
silence falls on empty halls
the reign of terror has gone

These lines give the impression that the singer is motivated by a righteous sense that those who have wronged them and others should be held accountable for their actions. It is clear that something significant is about to happen when the lines "repeating phrases from the book, your future is already doomed" are sung. This is a clear indication that the established order will fall, and the people who have been oppressed will achieve their freedom. The repeated phrase "it's the Fall of Thy Kingdom" reinforces the idea that something significant is about to take place.

Suspicion grows inside my head
I am starting to suspect something is wrong
the life I have lived
Looking back at my life
makes me see red
is making me angry
It's time to make the tables turn
It is time to change the situation for the better
all the bridges will burn
We will destroy all ties with the past and move forward
All the secrets unfold
The hidden truths are revealed
all the stories will be told
All the tales that were hidden will now be shared
it's the Fall of Thy Kingdom
This is the end of your reign
Repeating phrases from the book
The same old lies are no longer working
your future is already doomed
You are destined to fail
Abandoned by your faithful few
Even the ones close to you have left
breaking the spell
We are breaking free from your grip
taking our lives from you
We are taking back control of our lives
Your walls will come crumbling down
Your protection will no longer work
you have lost the jeweled crown
You have lost power and authority
Finally kings and queens
Even the most powerful people
were defeated by the servants
Can be taken down by those they underestimate
silence falls on empty halls
Your once grand halls are now devoid of life and power
the reign of terror has gone
Your oppressive rule is over
