Point Of Recognition was a Christian metalcore band from Southern California. They take their influences from bands such as All Out War, Buried Alive, No Innocent Victim, and Hatebreed.

History

Point Of Recognition had been playing for about a year before releasing their debut album "Admiration of a Son" on Rescue Records in 1999. Four of their songs were also included on a 3-way split CD, titled "Now The Tables Have Turned", on Facedown Records (along with Torn In Two and Cast In Stone). The band toured constantly before releasing their second album "Refresh, Renew" on Facedown Records.

With the heavier sound from the Refresh, Renew album, the band toured with the likes of H20, All Out War, Throwdown, No Innocent Victim (Southern California neighbors with whom they perform often), among many others, quickly gaining fan support. However there were soon lineup changes. With No Innocent Victim and former Dodgin' Bullets guitarist Tim Mason joining the group in 2002, the band would release their final album "Day Of Defeat" in June of that year.

"Day Of Defeat" was praised by fans and critics alikeFact|date=June 2008. The band called it quits in October of 2002 in order for the members to pursue other interests, musical and/or family.

In January 2007, it was announced that Point Of Recognition would reunite for Facedown Fest 2007 on March 24 [http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=65039] , much to the delight of the fans.
