73-track, 4-disc set from grindcore 'supergroup' Lock Up featuring the band's first three full length studio albums plus a rare live album recorded in Japan, and only released previously for the Japanese market. CD 1 features their 1999 debut album 'Pleasures Pave Sewers', featuring Peter Tägtgren of Hypocrisy and PAIN on vocals, while CD 2 features the classic follow up 'Hate Breeds Suffering', originally released in 2002 with the addition of Tomas Lindberg (At the Gates, Disfear) on vocals. The third disc features the band's 2011 full-length "comeback" album 'Necropolis Transparent', while CD 4 showcases the live set originally released in 2005. Formed in the late 90s by legendary Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury, Lock Up's initial line-up featured a stellar cast from the extreme metal scene; Jesse Pintado (Napalm Death, Terrorizer) on guitar, Nick Barker (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir) on drums and Peter Tägtgren on vocals, with Embury of course on bass duties. Taking their cues from the likes of Dark Angel, Terrorizer and Possessed, the band delivered a shattering slice of grind with their debut effort 'Pleasure Pave Sewers'. By the time the second album 'Hate Breeds Suffering' arrived, Tägtgren had departed, and been replaced by Swedish Death Metal legend Tomas Lindberg on vocals. This line up toured internationally to much acclaim. A further nine years passed until the arrival of album number three, 'Necropolis Transparent' and with it another line-up change. Jesse Pintado had tragically passed away in 2006, with his place taken by Anton Reisenegger of Chilean act Pentagram (and also Brujeria whose revolving cast of members also included Embury and Barker. For this box set, Embury, Barker and Reisenegger all conducted brand new interviews with writer Darren Sadler and also contributed rare and unseen archive material for the booklet layout. The track listing includes several rare bonus tracks including material from the split 7" with Misery Index released in 2011, and a rare song only previously available on a flexi disc given away with Decibel magazine in the US in 2013, as well as cover versions of Terrorizer (featuring Jesse Pintado on guitar) and Impaled Nazarene songs. Lock Up have gone on to release two further albums with Brutal Truth singer Kevin Sharp on vocals. This release is also a tribute not only to the memory of Jesse Pintado, but also to Tomas Lindberg, who tragically passed away in September 2025 aged only 52.
