Nailbomb was a brief contrive between ex-Sepultura singer/guitarist Max Cavalera and ex-Fudge Tunnel singer/guitarist Alex Newport. Although both of the bandmembers' full-time bands specialized in extreme metal sounds, Nailbomb somehow found a elbow room to create even more dense and harsh metallic sounds (it too proves to be more repetitive, with the odd sample and brake drum machine detected here and in that respect). In addition to the duo, most of Cavalera's then-bandmates from Sepultura (guitar player Andreas Kisser and drummer Igor Cavalera) and Fear Factory guitar player Dino Cazares made particular guest appearances on Nailbomb's debut recording for Roadrunner Records, 1994's Point Blank, patch the group's last release, 1995's Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide, featured appearances from former Dead Kennedys drummer D.H. Peligro, Biohazard bassist Evan Seinfeld, and Front Line Assembly/Fear Factory keyboardist Rhys Fulber. Since their soph release, little has been heard from Nailbomb, as Cavalera returned back to Sepultura (later going away the chemical group to form Soulfly) and Newport began producing other hard rock candy artists (including At the Drive-In, Samiam, and Will Haven, among others).

Juno star drops out of Rami horror movie
Actress Ellen Page has pulled out of Sam Raimi's new horror movie 'Drag Me To Hell'.
The 'Juno' star had agreed to play the lead role in the film, however scheduling conflicts have now forced her to withdraw.
Shooting was due to get underway on March 17 in a bid to wrap before the possible Screen Actors Guild strike on June 30, but was then delayed.
However, the new date clashed with Page's forthcoming roles in psychological thriller 'Peacock' and Drew Barrymore's directorial debut 'Whip It!'
A statement from producers Ghost House Pictures and financier Mandate Pictures, read: "We were racing to start production so that we could accommodate Ellen's schedule.
"But like so many other productions trying to start before the potential SAG strike date, this one needed more time and we had to push back the start of production."

Ex EastEnder recovering after health scare
Former 'EastEnders' star Todd Carty has been discharged from hospital after a health scare, which saw him become "violently sick" while on stage at the weekend.
According to the BBC, the 44-year-old actor, who played Mark Fowler in 'EastEnders', became ill during a performance of 'The Business of Murder' at The Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage, Hertfordshire on Saturday.
Carty's agent Derek Webster later spoke to BBC News 24, saying that the actor became "violently sick" on stage and was taken to hospital as a result.
Webster said: "It might have had something to do with an ear infection that Todd has been suffering from for a few days now - I can't actually confirm that."
"He did collapse on stage, he was violently sick. The theatre staff brought the curtain down, rushed him to the Stevenage hospital."
Webster later said: "He was kept in hospital overnight for tests but was released yesterday. All is well and he will be back at work tomorrow filming a new TV show."
Carty, who shot to fame as Tucker Jenkins in 'Grange Hill', also recently played PC Gabriel Kent in 'The Bill'.

TV series to search for top disabled model
The BBC is to launch a TV talent search for disabled models.
'Britain's Missing Top Model' will see eight women compete before a panel of industry experts.
The five-part series aims "to challenge preconceived notions of beauty". The winner will land a spread in a women's glossy magazine, shot by one of the world's top fashion photographers.
BBC3 controller Danny Cohen said: "This series aims to challenge the artificial boundaries that seem to exist in the beauty and fashion industries.
"It would be great if in the future we began to see more disabled models gracing the covers of the world's magazines."
The competition is open to disabled women aged between 18 and 30.
It has a similar format to 'America's Next Top Model', which was hosted by Tyra Banks. The eight finalists will live together in an apartment and complete a different challenge each week.
Industry experts will train them for photoshoots, location work and the catwalk.
The series will be supported by Ouch, the BBC's disability website, and is being made in consultation with Disability Action in Islington, North London.
