Nailbomb - Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide [1995]

 

Max Cavalera is originally from Belo Horizonte, Brazil and Alex Newport from Wolverhampton, England. They formed Nailbomb in Phoenix, Arizona, where they resided.

Formed in 1994, Nailbomb was only supposed to be a side-project by Max Cavalera and Alex Newport that consequently split-up after the only live gig at the Dynamo festival in 1995 where the album Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide was recorded, in which Igor Cavalera, Andreas Kisser, Dino Cazares  and Evan Seinfield participated among others.

The project has largely been abandoned for over two decades, with no intention of the band ever reuniting or releasing any new material. However, in April 2017 Max announced he will play the entire 'Point Blank' album under his band Soulfly, later in 2017. However, Alex Newport is not set to be part of these performances, with Max citing his busy schedule as the reason. Instead, he drafted his son Igor Jr. (also of Lody Kong) into Soulfly as vocalist and keyboardist/sampler in order to perform Alex's parts.
