 i haven't heard this album in at least 10 years 
this is Nailbomb's first and only studio album (they also released a live album but more on that later). the band was composed of Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly) and Alex Newport (Fudge Tunnel, producer for At the Drive In among others), 2 totally different bands with a common love for heavy guitars. the project started in Phoenix where Max and Alex were both staying at the time and they were hanging out a lot because Alex was married to Max's wife's daughter and he didn't know anyone else. they discovered they liked a lot of the same stuff and set out "to make the fucking heaviest album ever.(-Max)" basically they took a bunch of influences that they didn't use in their other bands and put them into this project (Max's love of old hardcore and Alex's love of Killing Joke and early industrial.) all these elements combine to form heavy as hell industrial crossover thrash. Max and Alex took care of nearly everything themselves but there were also some guest spots from Andreas Kisser (guitars, Sepultura), Iggor Cavalera (drums, Sepultura) and Dino Cazares (guitars, Fear Factory).
tracks 1 - 13 make up the original Point Blank album. tracks 14 + 15 are the last 2 studio tracks ever recorded and were originally released, along with tracks 16 - 19, on the only other Nailbomb record Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide. the studio tracks are rad as hell, which only makes it worse that Nailbomb called it quits so soon. while normally i wouldn't care too much about live tracks these are a little bit more special than you average tracks as they were recorded at Nailbomb's one and only live show. after that show the band called it quits for no other reason than the belief that it would keep Nailbomb's music as intense as the day they started. the show was recorded at the Dynamo Open Air Festival, Eidhoven, Holland in '95. the line-up that day was Max Cavalera on guitars, Alex Newport on Guitars, Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Fear Factory) on keyboards/samples, Dave Edwardson (Neurosis) on bass, Iggor Cavalera on drums and Max's stepson Ritchie played guitar on Cockroaches. also of note is that Dead Kennedys drummer D.H. Peligro came out to play drums on the cover of Police Truck. the sound quality is pretty good for this style of music and being a recording from an outdoor festival.
