Nailbomb's Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide fulfills the promise of its title. Filled with ugly, raw noises, the record is an endurance test for some listeners, sheer bliss for others. The band distills the dirtiest elements of industrial, metal and grunge, creating a scathing, blistering grind. Fans of balls-out, no-holds-barred metal will love it, but listeners fond of melody will find it rather tedious.
