Lock Up - Demonization - CD DIGIPAK

The world continues to sink irreparably... Following the amicable departure of long-time vocalist and comrade Tomas Lindberg, LOCK UP is honored to welcome the exceptional Kevin Sharp as his replacement, bringing the band’s unmatched Grind Death assault back to life! As a very old friend of the group, Kevin has infused his personal touch into the already ultra-demented cocktail of disharmony. This ferociously complements Anton's insane riffs, Nick's frenetic rhythms and rolls, and Shane's guttural bass growls! The essence of Hades' refuse has been rediscovered! It took a long time to unveil the new album "Demonization," and there are many reasons for that... Logistically, the band is scattered across the globe. Personal lives take up a lot of time, as they do for everyone, which slows down projects, but its brutality remains a magnificent source of inspiration. Lyrically, this album explores the highs and lows of human consciousness. The struggle for resistance against various external forces, the addiction to escapism, the torments of reality, and how to survive all this carnage and emerge better. The phoenix rises, in a way! Musically, in this new album, guitarist Anton Reisenegger's riffs mutilate in every direction. It’s fast, heavy, and darkly colored—a tribute to the underground from which the band hails, while laying new foundations in the extreme. Nick Barker has once again surpassed himself in speed and precision behind the drums! Shane Embury gives the impression of personally carrying lost souls across the Styx! And last but not least, Kevin Sharp; what can we say? 27 years of demonic growls that continue to inspire the masses. It couldn’t be better! The legions are coming... DEMONIZATION! For fans of NAPALM DEATH, BRUTAL TRUTH, DYING FETUS.
