There comes a time when enough is enough enough of the prissy, smug faces, the conveniently packaged angst and the generic chugga-chugga riffs that define the word "monotonous."

The irritating popularity of the nu-metal scene was a subject broached over many alcohol-fueled Saturday nights on the town in late 98 by Napalm Death members Shane Embury and Jesse Pintado and Nick Barker (Dimmu Borgir, ex-Cradle of Filth). The three Brits also began reminiscing about the ever-illusive "good ol days" when bands like Dark Angel, Death, Repulsion and Slayer (at their bulldozing best) ruled the roost, and nu-metal was but an undreamt of seed in the sack of new jack rappers. And so, inspired by a sea of lager, Lock Up was born.
