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.

Find Your Soul
Burning Point Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deed is not done we′re waiting
Anticipating
We've reached the end of the line
Now it′s the time to search from within
Be humble and confess your sins
Just push back the endless night
Journey through mind
Carry the torch through the falling rain
Interference in the balance of peace
Fragmented stories of truth and lies
It's your disguised
Unavoidable casualty of war
Step out the line and you'll burn in the fire
You crumble and lose your desire
Find your soul, embrace the light
Just push back the endless night
Journey through mind
Carry the torch through the falling rain
Find your soul
The power within
Fire up the flames and you will win
Journey through mind
Carry the torch through the endless pain
Find your soul, embrace the light
Just push back the endless night
Journey through mind
Carry the torch through the falling rain
Find your soul
The power within
Fire up the flames and you will win
Journey through mind
Carry the torch through the endless pain
The lyrics of the song "Find Your Soul" by Burning Point have a strong message of inner exploration, personal growth, and empowerment. The opening lines describe a situation where something needs to be done, but it hasn't been yet, and the anticipation builds. The following line, "We've reached the end of the line," suggests that the situation has become urgent and critical. The next line encourages the listener to look inside themselves for solutions, urging them to "Be humble and confess your sins". This implies that the answers to the situation at hand can be found within if one is willing to examine themselves deeply.
The next verses take a darker turn, veering towards themes of war and destruction. The lines "Interference in the balance of peace / Fragmented stories of truth and lies / It's your disguised" suggest that the cause of the problem may be the result of misinformation or misunderstanding. The lines "Unavoidable casualty of war / Step out the line and you'll burn in the fire / You crumble and lose your desire" paint the picture of a dire situation, where the stakes are high and the consequences of a wrong move could be catastrophic. In this context, the repeated call to "Find your soul, embrace the light" takes on a deeper meaning of rallying one's inner strength and resources to face the challenges at hand.
Overall, the lyrics to "Find Your Soul" by Burning Point encourage introspection, spiritual exploration, and self-empowerment in the face of adversity. The message is one of hope and perseverance, urging the listener to keep pushing forward even when the path ahead seems unclear.
