Atrophy

Emerging Metalcore Outfit

Atrophy is a thrash metal band that emerged from the vibrant 1980s metal scene in Tucson, Arizona. The band was known for its aggressive style and politically charged lyrics, which resonated with the thrash movement of the time. They released their debut album "Socialized Hate" in 1988, which quickly established them within the genre due to its raw energy and sharp social commentary. Following up with their sophomore effort, "Violent By Nature," in 1990, Atrophy continued to build on their reputation for fast-paced riffs and incisive lyrics. Despite a promising start and a dedicated fan base, Atrophy disbanded in the early 1990s, leaving behind a legacy that would influence later generations of thrash metal bands. After a long hiatus, members of Atrophy reunited and began performing again in recent years, reigniting interest in their early work and contributing to the ongoing appreciation of classic thrash metal.
