The explosive industrial-thrash hybrid NAILBOMB has officially revealed the lineup for its 2025 touring incarnation. Originally formed in the mid-1990s by Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, ex-SEPULTURA) and Alex Newport (FUDGE TUNNEL), the band’s initial lifespan was brief, releasing the now cult-classic Point Blank in 1994 before calling it quits the following year.
After reviving the project in 2024—this time without Newport—Max Cavalera is bringing NAILBOMB back to life once again for a run of European and UK live dates scheduled for this summer’s festival season.
Band said in a social media post regarding the lineup:
“Pulling themselves back out of the vault since 2017, activist band Nailbomb returns to the stages, this time with a European tour on the August festival circuit.
Current lineup of Nailbomb personnel:
Max Cavalera (Soulfly, GAAD, Cavalera, Killer Be Killed)
Igor Cavalera (Cavalera, GAAD, Healing Magic)
Jackie Cruz (GAAD, Jade Helm)
Travis Stone (Cavalera, Pig Destroyer)
Adam Jarvis (Pig Destroyer, Scour)**
Alex Cha (Pig Destroyer)**
**Members will not be at Bloodstock or Alcatraz, to be replaced with Chris Moore (Repulsion, Coke Bust, Vosh) and Demir Soyer (Goetia) for selected dates.”
