After years in the vault, industrial punk-metal hybrid Nailbomb is storming back onto the stage with a newly announced European tour this August. Known for their explosive energy and politically charged legacy, the band, originally formed by Max Cavalera and Alex Newport, has assembled a powerhouse lineup featuring members of Soulfly, Pig Destroyer, and Cavalera for this comeback.
Apart from a string of major festival performances including Wacken Open Air, Bloodstock, and Alcatraz, the band will also headline select club venues across Europe, including a highly anticipated show in Vienna at Szene on August 5, where they will be supported by The Nocturnal Affair, who have also embarked on their European tour.
About Nailbomb
Formed in the early ’90s and revived multiple times in response to turbulent political climates, Nailbomb’s return in 2025 marks 30 years since their debut album shattered genre expectations with its brutal fusion of metal, punk, and industrial noise. Now, with the world once again on edge, the band’s visceral message feels more relevant than ever.
The 2025 lineup features:
- Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera, Killer Be Killed)
- Igor Cavalera (Cavalera, Healing Magic)
- Jackie Cruz (Jade Helm)
- Travis Stone (Pig Destroyer)
- Adam Jarvis and Alex Cha (both of Pig Destroyer)
