In a genre often celebrated for its raw power and rebellious energy, MikhMakh is demonstrating that heavy rock can also be introspective and deeply human. Their track “Pointless,” featured on the “Flash Sale” album, stands as a bold exploration of the creative process—an emotional journey marked by self-doubt, perseverance, and eventual triumph. Once again, they are showcasing their distinctive take on rock music in a modern world.
“Pointless” takes listeners inside the mind of a creator, laying bare the frustrations and challenges that come with trying to bring an idea to life, whether it’s burnout, writer’s block, or being a perfectionist. From the outset, the song pulls no punches, diving straight into the doubt and fear that can plague anyone pursuing a creative path. The lyrics speak to the universal fear that the work we pour ourselves into might ultimately be, well, pointless.
Musically, “Pointless” is as heavy as its themes. Drawing comparisons to the raw intensity of Gojira, MikhMakh layers driving riffs, thunderous drums, and soaring melodic vocals to create a track that hits hard both sonically and emotionally. Antoine Mikhtarian’s vocal delivery adds an extra layer of depth, moving seamlessly between anguish and determination as the song progresses. The band’s ability to fuse weighty instrumentals with melodic moments keeps the track dynamic and engaging, leaving any rock fan eager for more.
What sets “Pointless” apart, though, is its journey. While the song begins in a place of frustration and uncertainty, it builds to a cathartic and inspiring climax. The relentless drive of the music mirrors the determination required to overcome creative blocks and self-doubt. By the end, “Pointless” transforms into an anthem of resilience, reminding listeners that the act of creation—despite its challenges—is never truly pointless.
