The sonic love child of Max and FUDGE TUNNEL‘s Alex Newportthis 1994 one-off album from their NAILBOMB union showcased dense, industrialized heaviness, seeing everything with all-out punk aggression. In 13 tracks, the revered duo — crediting GRAVE alumni Andreas Kisser and Igor Cavaleraas well as FEAR FACTORY‘s Dino Cazares as players on the final product — managed to make an angry masterpiece that meets in the middle of what both GRAVE and FUDGE TUNNEL they were doing at the time. But as for the visual representation of “Point Blank”the war-time photo of a Viet Cong woman with a gun to her head proves just as striking as the devastatingly heavy music within her sleeve.
Max told TeamRock in 2016 about “Point Blank”: “It’s just such a pissed-off album. Me and Alex were pissed at everything and decided to make a real fuck-the-world ‘hate project.’ It is one of the most ‘fuck-you’ albums of all time; it aims at everything, and destroys everything. So, that’d be cool — to be remembered as a person who came here to fuck shit up, NAILBOMB‘s perfect!’
