Nailbomb is a heavy metal band formed in 1993 as a side project by Brazilian musician Max Cavalera (then the frontman of Sepultura) and British musician Alex Newport of Fudge Tunnel.
History
Nailbomb hosted other musicians to play guest spots, including D.H. Peligro (
Dead Kennedys), Max Cavalera's brother
Igor Cavalera (
Sepultura co-founder), and guitarist
Dino Cazares (co-founder and guitarist of
Fear Factory).
Nailbomb's second album,
Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide, was a live recording capturing the band's appearance at the 1995 Dynamo Open Air Festival in
Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
The project was largely defunct for over two decades, with no intention of the band ever reuniting or releasing any new material, until Cavalera announced in April 2017 he would play the entire Point Blank album on tour with his band Soulfly. Newport was not involved in the performances, citing his busy schedule as the reason. Instead, Cavalera drafted his son Igor Cavalera Jr., who had previously toured as a bassist and backing vocalist for Soulfly, to perform Newport's vocal and keyboard/sampler parts.
On August 14, 2024, Max Cavalera announced that Nailbomb would reunite for its first show in 29 years as part of the "Max Cavalera Dynasty Show", which took place at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona on November 9. In addition to Cavalera, the lineup for this show was his son Igor and Travis Stone both on guitar, bassist Johny Chow, sampler Alex Cha and drummer Adam Jarvis.
