Dewpoint is a Christian Progressive Death Metal band formed in 1997 in Deming, New Mexico by Jon Kildare. Being a Christian and a big fan of Progressive and Death Metal bands like Paradise Lost, Opeth, Dream Theater, Carcass and My Dying Bride and seeing the utter lack of Christian based bands in the genres decided that it would be appropriate to get a group off the ground that is Aggressive and Experimental as well as Unique and Thought provoking. Jon and his Cousin Tim “Sspitt” Edwards began writing songs together and setting the groundwork for what is rapidly becoming one of the most influential and fresh sounds in Death Metal music. With songs averaging 10 minutes in length, there is alot of room for experimentation and development in the overall sonic journey each song takes it’s listener on. With their first album, Severe Thunderstorm Warning, Jon has used his unique talent and unhealthy interest in meteorological phenomenon and crafted songs that both explore the consequences of failure in one’s life to the subsequent grace that is always waiting to lift one up from beneath the mire of life’s unending beatings.
In late 2002 things began to look bleak for Dewpoint, as close friend and drummer Brian Farris moved from New Mexico to California and Tim chose to return to school to become an X-Ray Technician and Jon moved to Utah. Jon took a break from song writing for a time, and spent time with his family and develop a new outlook on his music, as he was not really satisfied with where his talents were. Late in 2005 Jon began playing again and recorded a few tracks and made them available on the internet and recieved good reviews on each track, and decided to get Dewpoint back off the ground and a new flow of songwriting began.
