Morbid Saint’s “Spectrum of Death” was a rarity in 1990 - a brand new thrash act that kicked ass, while many of the older acts were peaking or showing wear/tear, and new, vibrant acts were in short order. ‘Lock Up Your Children' starts this brutal thrash affair with an amped-up Slayer 'Captor of Sin' riff before Pat Lind’s barbaric vocals come in and shine. Lind and the band remind listeners most obviously of Kreator, as the band has often been coined the American version- sick breakdowns like the 1:25 mark help sell this point with aplomb. Hailing from Wisconsin, they never quite launched the way they could have, probably arriving too late for the thrash boom and soon broke up, not releasing a follow-up until 2015.
