RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON ROADRUNNER 1988.

Atrophy's 1988 debut, Socialized Hate, clearly illustrates just why the Arizona thrashers were handed a recording contract by metal powerhouse Roadrunner, while simultaneously explaining why that wasn't nearly enough to make them a household name. Superficially, the band had plenty going for it; their exceedingly competent musicianship allowed them to easily replicate the technically grounded ferocity pioneered by such thrash metal giants as Exodus and Anthrax, while their diverse and often thought-provoking lyrics took in most all of the usual subjects of '80s metal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrophy_(band)
