Point Blank is the only studio album by heavy metal band Nailbomb, released on March 8, 1994, by Roadrunner Records. The side project was started by Max Cavalera and Alex Newport in the mid-1990s. Part of the first track, "Wasting Away", plays in the 1995 film To Die For. The album cover is a female Vietnamese civilian with a U.S. soldier's gun to her head.
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 Zyon.
All tracks written by Max Cavalera and Alex Newport unless noted.
