INSANE RARE NAILBOMB TEE IN PERFECTLY THRASHED & FADED CONDITION, FEATURING THE MIND-STIRRING ALBUM ART FOR THEIR 94’ ALBUM POINT BLANK ON FRONT & TITLE OF THEIR 95’ LIVE ALBUM ‘PROUD TO COMMIT COMMERCIAL SUICIDE’ ON BACK WITH DAY OF HATE IN VIVID CRACKED RED LETTERING, DAY OF HATE REFERS TO THE NAME OF THE LIVE SHOW ITSELF. EURO VARIANT. TASTEFUL REPAIRS THROUGHOUT.

NAILBOMB WAS A BRIEF PROJECT BETWEEN EX-SEPULTURA SINGER/GUITARIST MAX CAVALERA & 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 & HARSH INDUSTRIAL/METALLIC SOUNDS (IT ALSO PROVES TO BE MORE REPETITIVE, WITH THE ODD SAMPLE AND DRUM MACHINE DETECTED HERE & THERE). IN ADDITION TO THE DUO, MOST OF CAVALERA'S THEN-BANDMATES FROM SEPULTURA (GUITARIST ANDREAS KISSER & DRUMMER IGOR CAVALERA) AS WELL AS FEAR FACTORY GUITARIST DINO CAZARES MADE SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCES ON NAILBOMB'S DEBUT RECORDING FOR ROADRUNNER RECORDS, 1994'S POINT BLANK. THE ALBUM COVER OF NAILBOMB’S POINT BLANK (1994) FEATURES A SHOCKING, REAL-LIFE BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTO OF A VIETNAMESE WOMAN BEING HELD AT GUNPOINT BY A U.S. SOLDIER. SELECTED FROM A BOOK BY MAX CAVALERA, IT WAS CHOSEN TO EMBODY THE ALBUM'S AGGRESSIVE, PUNK, AND POLITICALLY CHARGED ANTI-WAR THEMES, SIMILAR TO SHOCKING IMAGERY USED BY RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.

FOLLOWING POINT BLANK (WHICH WAS THE ONLY OFFICIAL STUDIO ALBUM), 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 & FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY/FEAR FACTORY KEYBOARDIST RHYS FULBER. PROUD TO COMMIT COMMERCIAL SUICIDE IS A LIVE ALBUM WHICH CAPTURES THE BAND'S LIVE APPEARANCE AT THE 1995 DYNAMO OPEN AIR FESTIVAL. THE ALBUM COVER WAS A PICTURE OF THE AFTERMATH OF THE INFAMOUS JONESTOWN SUICIDES. THE ALBUM'S TITLE IS A REFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT THE BAND PROMISED THEY WOULD RELEASE ONLY ONE ALBUM.

SINCE THEIR SOPHOMORE RELEASE, LITTLE HAS BEEN HEARD FROM NAILBOMB, AS CAVALERA RETURNED BACK TO SEPULTURA (LATER LEAVING THE GROUP TO FORM SOULFLY) & NEWPORT BEGAN PRODUCING OTHER HARD ROCK ARTISTS (INCLUDING AT THE DRIVE-IN, SAMIAM, & WILL HAVEN, AMONG OTHERS).
