Point Blank is the only studio album by heavy metal band Nailbomb, released on March 8, 1994, by Roadrunner Records. Nailbomb was a side project formed by Max Cavalera (Sepultura) and Alex Newport (Fudge Tunnel) in 1993.
The album cover is a photo of female Vietnamese civilian with a U.S. soldier's gun to her head, which Max Cavalera and Alex Newport retrieved from the Alternative Associated Press. Cavalera stated that they wanted to create a similar cover to Rage Against the Machine's self-titled album, an image of the self immolation of ThÃÂch Quảng ÃÂức. According to Cavalera, the woman in the cover lived after the photo was taken.
A portion of the opening track, "Wasting Away", appears in the 1995 film To Die For. Point Blank was played live in its entirety for the first time in 2017 by Cavalera and his band Soulfly, more than 20 years after the release of the album and Nailbomb's breakup. Newport's parts were played by Cavalera's son Igor Amadeus Cavalera.
All tracks written by Max Cavalera and Alex Newport unless noted.
