Point Blank is the only studio album by heavy metal band Nailbomb, released on March 8, 1994, by Roadrunner Records. The side project Nailbomb was started by Max Cavalera and Alex Newport in the mid-1990s. The first track "Wasting Away" appears in the 1995 film To Die For. The album cover is a female Vietcong member with a U.S. soldier's gun to her head. The album was played live in its entirety for the first time ever in 2017 by Max Cavalera with his band Soulfly, more than 20 years after the release of the album and the band's break up. However, Alex Newport was not part of these performances due to his busy schedule. Cavalera's son Zyon performed Newport's vocal and keyboard parts for the tour.
