POWER IT UP # 143
LOCK UP
Pleasure Paves Sewers
LP
AWESOME SPEED, BRUTALITY AND INSPIRATION!!! As everybody should know, LOCK UP is a side-project involving Nick Barker (DIMMU BORGIR, ex-CRADLE OF FILTH), Jesse Pintado and Shane Embury (NAPALM DEATH) and L.G. Petrov (ENTOMBED). The music has a feel of mid 80s-early 90s pure ignorance grind/death and is reminiscent of early REPULSION, TERRORIZER and NAPALM DEATH. The guitars shred along savagely while Nick pounds the shit out of his drum kit with surprising inhuman speed. And that ain't about fucking noise, this is pure violence through great songs, always inspired and catchy. Try to imagine a great mix of the best things done by gods like Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Defecation and Carcass and put it together with a great component of early hardcore and maybe you can find the true group's essence: pure brutality. For those who don't know, the band was named after Nick's drumming, his arms would stiffen while playing long blast beats. Before the album was recorded it was found out that Petrov would be unable to participate on it, so the band got in touch with Peter TÀgtgren of Hypocrisy who is incredible at vocals: he's able to change vocal lines from pure growls to primitive, scary screams. Fans of early death grind will love this album. The vocals, drums and guitars for almost all songs were recorded in one take. No keyboards. No wimpy vocals. No filters. No effects. Just plain fucking hate. The LP comes in noble gatefold sleeve and is limited to 466 copies.
