Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Initially Known as Heresy, this Thrash Metal Outfit Hailed from Tucson, Arizona, USA. The Band was Formed in 1987 by Vocalist Brian Zimmerman and Guitarist Chris Lykins. Recruiting Rick Skowron (Guitar), James Gulotta (Bass) and Tim Kelly (Drums), They Recorded a Demo "chemical Dependency", the Same Year. This Attracted the Attention of Thrash Specialists Roadrunner Records, who Immediately Recognized them as a Band with Great Potential. "socialized Hate" was an Impressive Debut, featuring Heavy-duty Riffing, Screaming Guitars and Thoughtful Lyrics. Their Second Album "violent by Nature" Saw Some Musical Progression, with the Material Showing a Greater Awareness of Melody and a Slightly Less Extreme Approach.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great album but..., June 12, 2007

By	puppymeat "eclectic obsessive" (Tucson, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews

This a great album from local faves, and one of the best Arizona-born metal bands (along with Sacred Reich and Flotsam & Jetsam [I'd actually place Atrophy right between those, as far as quality of bands go]). It sounds great on what players this will play on...and there is the problem: This CD does not play on all CD players, and I am not able to upload it to my computer, either. I like to have all the music I'm currently listening to on my computer, so I don't have to carry the CD's around. I'm a tad disappointed because I was looking forward to checking out some of the other reissues in this series (Atrophy's "Socialized Hate," albums by Sadus, Gorguts, Heathen, Pestilence, and Solitude Aeturnus, among others), but I am not sure I want to spend the money if I can't be positive I can play them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finest thrash from the 80's..., August 4, 2006

By	critico constructivo (PR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Violent by Nature (Audio CD)

Back in the day i bought this gem on cassette, gladly i found it on CD but way expensive along with their first album, "Socialized hate". On this album Atrophy improves their vocal duties far better than their first and a more interesting guitar riffs also the production is better. Recommended if you like Exodus, Xentrix and the likes!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrash essential..., January 2, 2009

By	jwapd "John" (Atlantic City, NJ) - See all my reviews

I consider this one of those 80's/90's thrash cds that are a must-have for any collection. I love it! I don't own Socialized Hate yet, but according to other reviews, this is the better of the two cds that Atrophy released. It's quite a gem, and the good thing..... you can still get it at a reasonable price (unlike bands like Exumer, Dark Angel, & Mandator). The entire album has a great fast tempo. The favorite for most is the track "Puppies and Friends," but like I said.... it's an all around solid album. Worth picking up for under $15.
