Nailbomb - Point Blank (1994)

 

 Nailbomb was a side project of Max Cavalera and Alex Newport that consequently split up after their only live gig at the Dynamo festival in 1995, where the album Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide was recorded.

Although Max Cavalera is originally from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and Alex Newport from Wolverhampton, England, they both resided in Phoenix, Arizona while Nailbomb was active.

In April 2017, Max announced that he planned to play the entire Point Blank album with his band Soulfly later in 2017. Alex Newport could not to take part in these performances, with Max citing his busy schedule as the reason.
