Nailbomb was a brief project between ex-
Sepultura singer/guitarist
Max Cavalera and ex-
Fudge Tunnel singer/guitarist
Alex Newport. Although both of the bandmembers' full-time bands specialized in extreme metal sounds, Nailbomb somehow found a way to create even more dense and harsh metallic sounds (it also proves to be more repetitive, with the odd sample and drum machine detected here and there). In addition to the duo, most of
Cavalera's then-bandmates from
Sepultura (guitarist
Andreas Kisser and drummer
Igor Cavalera) and
Fear Factory guitarist
Dino Cazares made special guest appearances on Nailbomb's debut recording for Roadrunner Records, 1994's
Point Blank, while the group's final release, 1995's
Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide, featured appearances from former
Dead Kennedys drummer
D.H. Peligro,
Biohazard bassist
Evan Seinfeld, and
Front Line Assembly/
Fear Factory keyboardist
Rhys Fulber. Since their sophomore release, little has been heard from Nailbomb, as
Cavalera returned back to
Sepultura(later leaving the group to form
Soulfly) and
Newport began producing other hard rock artists (including
At the Drive-In,
Samiam, and
Will Haven, among others).
