LOCK UP

Sometimes super-groups don’t live up to the hype. That has never been the case with death grinders LOCK UP, who feature within their ranks a rather impressive pedigree of extreme musicians. After two classic records within the genre, and enduring the tragic loss of Jesse Pintado (NAPALM DEATH), the band has bounced back stronger than ever.

With the help o guitarist Anton Reisenegger (CRIMINAL, PENTAGRAM) and a superb mix from Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, TESTAMENT, NEVERMORE, EXODUS, DIMMU BORGIR), LOCK UP are back and ready more than ever to show people the true meaning of extreme.

In October of 2010, they recorded the music to “Necropolis Transparent” (info | shop) at HVR Studios in Ipswich with CRIMANAL bass player/producer Danny Biggin engineering the sessions. January 2011 saw the band reunite with their friend Andy Sneap to mix the album, at his bigger and better than ever Backstage Studios near Derby in the UK. The song writing and production on the new recorded surpassing everything the band has done so far. Andy fired up the record beyond expectations in sound this time. The speed, riffing and intensity make this record more than just a grindcore album and see LOCK UP come into their own true identity. Prepare yourself for a milestone in grind and another classic album from one of the leaders of the genre.
