Nailbomb was a side project by Sepultura's Max Cavalera
and producer/engineer Alex Newport in the mid-1990s.
Point Blank is their only studio album, originally released
in 1994 by Roadrunner Records. The album combines the
thrash-metal fury of Sepultura with the robotic industrial
clangor of Fudge Tunnel - a big hit on the festival scene at
the time.
Nearly the entire Sepultura lineup is present on the guest
list - both Andreas Kisser and Igor Cavalera are credited.
Also Dino Cazares of Fear Factory and Ritchie Bujnowski
from Wicked Death are featured on the album. The first
track ''Wasting Away'', appears in the 1995 film To Die For.
''Exploitation'' is a cover originally by the English crust punk
band Doom.
Relentless grinding riffs, and an industrial-strength
percussive roar, the lyrics are uniformly nihilistic and the
album is riddled with left-field samples that add a disorienting,
dehumanizing texture. This is an ass-kicking album, that is
full-on malevolent from the get-go. Point Blank is abrasive,
in your face, and loud as hell with the lid off.
