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.Д«and members Members Newport was not involved in the performances, citing his busy schedule as the reason. The project was largely abandoned 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' on tour with his band Soulfly. 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. Peligro ( Dead Kennedys), Max Cavalera's brother Igor Cavalera ( Sepultura co-founder), and guitarist Dino Cazares (co-founder and guitarist of Fear Factory). It isnвЂ™t gloriously conceived material or quite ground-breaking but itвЂ™s at least interesting for the neutral fan to discover, and in hindsight such records are rare, especially considering the formatted sound of modern bands today and it isnвЂ™t likely such a phenomenon will occur again.Nailbomb hosted other musicians to play guest spots, including D.H. At no point does this album come across as pretentious or as the band having any form of pressure to perform, and the end result is a spontaneous mixture of initially heterogeneous styles colluding and producing a unique form of aggressive musicВ that has вЂњmid-90sвЂќ written all over it. ThereвЂ™s definitely a bit of a raw live recording feelВ to it at least on a few tracks and it feels like the cooperation between the two protagonists happened in an organic and seamless way.

It really sounds like Cavalera and British partner in crime Newport had quite a bit of fun making this. The record is uneven and unpredictable that way and it isnвЂ™t sure whatвЂ™ll come next at the end of a track. The band intentionally use short formatsВ for many of the songs (a few barely 3min long) to better accentuate the abrupt caustic nature of the music, although the later tracks on the album stretch towards 4-5min frames.

The songs are a lot more experimentalВ than what one might find on a Sepultura album, with odd delay or distortion effects on the lead vocals, fairly long stretches of instrumental noise over pounding rhythms among a host of various industrial-inspired arrangements. ThereвЂ™s a clear noise influenceВ with heavy distorted samples in the background over the riffs or to start songs on relatively quieter yet still overdriven sonic motions setting that cold inhospitable atmosphere. Some of the tracks will sound mostly like outright Max Cavalera metal with simple chuggy grooves and the typical loud in-your-face shouting, while others introduce the more mechanical rhythmic energy of industrial. The chained up rapid double kick assaults make an appearance here and there but are kept to a bare minimum. The drums in particular are rather rock-oriented, heavy indie/industrial rock or punkish, providing a width to the tracks that one usually doesnвЂ™t find in bunches on a strictly metal album. The album is heavily tinted with industrial metal rawness and pure grinding aggression, with the dynamic roaring guitar tone of post-thrash and strong punk-metal/grind vibes on the uptempo accelerations, even sounding like overly aggressive rock nвЂ™ roll at times. ItвЂ™s basically a mix between the flavors of mid 90вЂ™s Brazilian and English metal, and it isnвЂ™t kind on the ears by any stretch of the imagination. Max Cavalera and Alex Newport trade vocals and influences on an album that sounds somewhere between new Sepultura/early Soulfly and mid-period Godflesh.
