Pleasures Pave Sewers is the debut album by grindcore band Lock Up, a side project of Napalm Death, featuring Peter Tägtgren on vocals.

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.

:I was hanging around with Nick Barker, who was playing drums for Cradle of Filth at the time.

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.
