History

Put together by Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury in 1998 Lockup was a multinational “old school death metal” project which featured several well-known musicians. The band featured Hypcorisy’s Peter Tägtgren on vocals for its debut, but was not produced by the Swede who is a noted producer. Production duties fell on the shoulder of Andy Sneap, former and future member of Sabbat. The debut would win much praise from the press.

The band’s live work featured former and future At The Gates man Tomas Lindberg with Peter being unable to commit and pull himself away from his main bands. Lindberg would join permanently. Former and future Cancer guitarist Barry Savage would also hit the road with the band in 2002.

In February 2000, Lock Up entered the Framework Studio in Birmingham, England to record their second album. Produced by Russ Russels and engineered by Napalm Death’s own guitarist Mitch Harris Hate Breeds Suffering was issued in 2002. The group would be on hold when Pintado died in The Netherlands on August 27th, 2006 due to liver failure. A Japanese live album had appeared in 2005. Nick Barker joined half a dozen bands in the next half a dozen months.
