Nailbomb. NAILBOMB. It feels hard to believe that I got to see Nailbomb’s first show since 1995, but here we are. Max Cavalera is in at least six bands, has worked with at least a dozen more, and performed with three of those during the first-ever Max Cavalera Dynasty Show (MCDS) – Soulfly, Nailbomb, and Go Ahead and Die (GAAD). Max’s son, Igor, almost performed in three bands that night (Nailbomb, GAAD, Healing Magic), and Igor’s girlfriend Jackie Cruz performed in both GAAD and Jade Helm. Max’s other son, Richie, is the frontman for Incite, who also played. So, six Cavalera Dynasty bands, with four local bands opening the show – Six Million Dead, Shadow Guilt, Ocean Harvest, and Zherra.
Nailbomb have just been added to the lineup of The Max Cavalera Dynasty Show, due to take place this November 9th, at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona. Headlined by Soulfly, the bill already includes Max Cavalera’s other bands, Go Ahead and Die and Healing Magic, as well as Jade Helm, Incite, Shadow Guilt, Six Million Dead, Ocean Harvest, and Zherra. The event closes off a US tour for Soulfly, which features support from Crowbar, Eyehategod, MutilationBBQ, Morbid Visionz, Skinflint, and Bloodlet. Keep reading below for more information.

The band released a statement about making the track:
“We are proud to announce our involvement in ‘Black Ops 3.’ Treyarch asked us if we would like to create a score to accompany a portion of the multiplayer soundtrack and we gladly accepted. On November 6th you can pick up a copy of the game and check out our instrumental score entitled ‘Jade Helm’ while you play Multiplayer or in your personal bunk inside the Safe House of the Campaign.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops III was released on November 6 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
in an interview with Chris Jericho for his podcast the band recently announced Brooks Wackerman (Bad Religion/Suicidal Tendencies) as their new drummer. Singer M. Shadows commented about the addition of Wackerman replacing Arin Iljay who was dismissed this fall.
“To be honest, Brooks’ name has always been in the mix. It was one of the names we were throwing around when Jimmy (Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan) passed away in terms of who was going to step up for ‘Nightmare.’ We felt Mike [Portnoy, ex-Dream Theater drummer] was the right choice and we still feel that way. Mike just destroyed on the record. He was perfect. But at the time, our tour manager brought up Brooks’ name as well. But at the time he was also busy with Bad Religion and it was also… people were going to look at it differently because he was a punk drummer at this point.”
Avenged Sevenfold is currently working on a new album for 2016, their seventh which will be the follow up to 2013s Hail To the King (Warner Brothers).
