Synopsis

Product Description
The concept of LOCK UP was conceived in the city of Birmingham, UK in 1998 by Nicholas Barker (ex-CRADLE OF FILTH, ex-DIMMU BORGIR) and Shane Embury (NAPALM DEATH).

Nick was based in Birmingham at that time as he was laying down his drum tracks for the CRADLE OF FILTH album 'Cruelty And The Beast.' Regularly after the days recordings he would meet Shane at the local rock pub to hangout, drink, listen to metal of all kinds, reminisce about their pasts growing up and how they got into the scene. Usually on many of these nights guitarist Jesse Pintado , also of NAPALM DEATH, would join in the celebrations. A bond formed between them as did the idea to make a band that embraced the spirit of old school death and thrash metal, but with the blast attack of late eighties grindcore bands like REPULSION and TERRORIZER (who Jesse coincidently was a founding member of).

Shane demoed a bunch of ideas on an old 4-track recorder for the next few months, then the three piece at short notice entered Backstage Studios with a very young Andy Sneap and blasted out thirteen tracks in three days. The idea was to capture the spontaneity and spirit of those classic releases and the results were intense! Now to find a singer? Nick suggested Peter Tägtgren of HYPOCRISY as they were good friends and they had always talked about doing a project together.

Peter's voice had incredible range so this seemed like a great idea. Of course Peter had Abyss Studios (DIMMU BORGIR, CELTIC FROST, IMMORTAL, HYPOCRISY) so Nick and Shane travelled to Ludwicke, Sweden to lay down the vocals to the music. The debut album 'Pleasures Pave Sewers' was born. Prepare yourself for a milestone in grind and the reissue of another classic album from one of the leaders of the genre!
