A solid mix of Death Metal, Hardcore and Traditional metal combined. We are in no way "reinventing" metal or trying to be the next new thing...we have created a sound unique enough to call our own and we think fans will agree, once they have heard us, they will know LOCKED.
Locked is a metal band that came together in 2002 from the ideas and creativity of guitarist Greg McCann, vocalist Jesse Volina, former bassist Benny Squeo, and former drummer Rob Hoover. The first released project was the self titled LOCKED demo in 2002 which featured songs such as Suicide Song and fan favorite Officer Down. On that recording the drums were produced by Ernesto Gencarelli of Red13 and Murderhole fame as Rob Hoover had left the band. The second demo, titled Demolition, (2005) was done with then drummer Rob Capizzo and featured songs like Blood, Light, & Karma and Departure. Departure went on to be included in a Quickstar Compilation: Downtown Metal Volume 13. While recording and releasing the two demos, the band also played numerous shows in the NY/NJ area. Both the recorded material and live performances received praise and appreciation from fans of extreme metal.
After a falling out between members in 2006, Locked went on hiatus until the band reunited in 2008 with Greg, Jesse, Rob, and current bassist Anthony Nicholson. Shortly after the "Back To The War" EP was recorded, Rob Capizzo left the band for personal reasons.
The band's been working hard at showcasing the new material which is now complete. The new style is definitely much more "musical" and technical but promises to not drive fans of the old stuff away. It doesn't lose its edge and the common denominator for Locked is brutality. With the new live set being worked on, the band decided to keep a few fan favorites of old while surprising everyone with a cover or two. Locked is back to show everyone how it’s done, and at the same time, through the music, say thank you to all of their inspirations and fans.
