Point of Recognition “Refresh, Renew” (2001) Review

A line up change would completely balance out Point of Recognition for the release of their sophomore record. This time around they would be on the famed Facedown Records, a Christian hardcore and metal record label that would gain serious notoriety in their respective Inland Empire locale in Southern California. The bands on the label would produce Christian music that you would not hear in any major church, that’s for sure.

“Refresh, Renew” is different than their previous record in that you get a guttural scream, no dual vocals, and a more steady hardcore pace. Less metal, more hardcore, and a strong stance lyrically on the foundations that made the band stand out initially. With a new focus, and sound that was more akin to Hatebreed than metalcore, Point of Recognition found themselves creating a stand out second record. It was just different enough from the first one, and a leap into hardcore sounds.

Through the tracks you still get a stance of Christendom, which may turn off some fans. However, the steady pacing, heavy riffs, breakdowns, and constant onslaught of hardcore holds its own against others in the genre. Even 23 years later, “Refresh, Renew” still sounds like it could be released today and stay the course with other hardcore bands. The production value is higher here, and the songs are mostly short, making this a good hardcore record to put on every now and again.
