Point Blank



Nailbomb is an industrial thrash metal band that formed in 1994 as a side project by Brazilian musician Max Cavalera of Sepultura and Soulfly and English musician Alex Newport of Fudge Tunnel. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, they recorded a studio album, titled Point Blank, which was released through Roadrunner Records. Nailbomb hosted other musicians to play guest spots, including D.H. Peligro (Dead Kennedys), Max Cavalera's brother Igor Cavalera (Sepultura co-founder), and Mexican guitarist Dino Cazares (co-founder and guitarist of Fear Factory, Brujeria and Divine Heresy). Nailbomb's second album, Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide, was a live recording capturing the band's appearance at the 1995 Dynamo Open Air Festival in Eindhoven, Netherlands. NAILBOMB were a shooting star. Between 1993 and 1995 they released one studio effort, 1994's Point Blank, and had a warm-up gig the evening before their acclaimed European festival appearance, which was documented as the live album Proud To Commit Commercial Suicide (1995). NAILBOMB weren't meant to last, but they sure as hell have made their mark. Nearly 30 years later, the two albums are being re-released and packaged together as 1000% Hate, the title that the band initially had in mind for Point Blank. Read more on Last.fm.
