From the very beginning, TURNING POINT, was unique and not what you'd expect from a hardcore band. They expanded on the sounds of bands like YOUTH OF TODAY and CHAIN OF STRENGTH and brought in more melody while taking inspiration from 7 SECONDS to push more emotion in their lyrics. Their impact was immediate. Originally released in 1990 on the hardcore powerhouse, NEW AGE RECORDS, It's Always Darkest... Before The Dawn, would be TURNING POINTS's only full length. While the band only existed for a very short time, over 30 years later, its influence is still being felt. REVELATION RECORDS is proud to bring back It's Always Darkest... in its original stand-alone form as the third installment of reissuing the band's out-of-print catalog. Available on January 13th, 2023, on limited color vinyl and cassette formats.
