Lock Up is an Englishgrindcoresupergroup.
The band originally formed byShane Embury (Napalm Death,Venomous Concept),Nick Barker (ex-Cradle of Filth,Dimmu Borgir) andJesse Pintado (Napalm Death,Terrorizer). Lock Up was joined byPeter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy) for its debut album, 1999'sPleasures Pave Sewers, andTomas Lindberg (At the Gates,Disfear) for 2002'sHate Breeds Suffering and a Japanese tour.
The band was later joined by guitaristAnton Reisenegger (Pentagram Chile andCriminal) in place of the late Pintado.
Lock Up have played very few live shows. In 2009, the band announced that they would play theDamnation Festival that year. The line-up featured Embury, Barker, Lindberg and Reisenegger. It was touted as the band's last live show; however, they later booked more shows for 2010 and 2012. During February of that year, they scheduled a ten show mini-tour in the United States. It was their first time playing in that country. Shane Embury was unable to make the shows so Danny Lilker from Nuclear Assault filled in on bass for the duration of the trek.
On 3 December 2010, Lock Up uploaded the first new piece of music in eight years, a track titled "Life of Devastation", to the band's officialMySpace page. The song is set to appear on a split seven-inch single withMisery Index in 2011.
The band's third studio album,Necropolis Transparent, was recorded in November and December 2010 at HVR Studios inIpswich, England, and features guest appearances by Peter Tägtgren and Jeff Walker (Carcass,Brujeria). It was released on 1 July in Europe and 12 July in North America byNuclear Blast Records.[3]
The fourth album,Demonization, was released in March 2017 through Listenable Records. This time Kevin Sharp (Brutal Truth,Venomous Concept) handled the vocals.[4]
In April 2020, it was announced that drummer Nick Barker had left the band.[5] He would be replaced by Adam Jarvis less than a month later.[6] In February 2021, it was announced former vocalist Tomas Lindberg had rejoined the band and would handle vocals alongside the current vocalist at the time, Kevin Sharp.[7]
