There's no bad blood or ill feeling in any way,those guys are my brothers and I wish them well..
I have a couple of new musical endeavours in the pipeline that will come to light when the time is right.
Id like to take this opportunity to thank my ex-band mates and all the fans around the world for their support over the course of 20+ years I served as drummer in the band...

Much love to you all."

“I am sad to see Nick leave the band”  ! But we have discussed this a lot and it’s time to move on for all of us I guess - no bad blood 
Along with Jesse Pintado ( RIP) Nick and I formed Lock Up in 1998 !
We have had a fun and crazy ride together on all those years and  I wish Nick nothing but the best for the future "

The band will announce Nick Barker replacement .

LOCK UP ‘ latest album «Demonization» was released in 2017 . 
Metal Hammer raved about the record "From the title track's unearthly doom to the flashes of blackened dissonance that pepper 'Locust' and more, Demonization is a bravura display of merciless extremity with balls and brains." Decibel Magazine concurs crowning the fourteen-track behemoth a, "head-turning contender for best extreme metal album of 2017." 

LOCK UP : ‘Demonization’ is available on all digital platforms
