Background

According to Shane Embury, the origins of the project go back to the time Napalm Death were working on the Words from the Exit Wound album. In 2010 he told Kerrang!:

I was hanging around with Nick Barker, who was playing drums for Cradle of Filth at the time. We were... getting drunk and listening to our favourite thrash, speed and grindcore bands. All the time we were just wanting to do something that was a return to the days of From Enslavement to Obliteration and World Downfall by Terrorizer. It was very quickly done, very spontaneous and based on energy and performance... With Lock Up we wanted to go back to the old days of thrashing a record out and recapturing that sense of early excitement.[2]

gollark: This has never been fixed because apparently the old software does everything they want fine.
gollark: Also, they use Raspberry Pis for some programming education, but connecting to the package repositories they need for updates is blocked by the filtering proxy.
gollark: Sometimes they fail to PXE-boot or something like that and are just stuck displaying a black screen with some error messages on it.
gollark: In my school there are a bunch of displays with "information" on them (mostly news headlines and promotional images of the school) which apparently run Windows, because they frequently seem to undergo updates and sometimes are stuck on a blank desktop (do they not know how to make stuff autostart?).
