Atrophy

Atrophy is one of the numerous American thrash band to have come and gone in the 80ies, but unlike most of them which were unmemorable, they kick ass. They were no Anthrax or Slayer but they weren't that far, they still can be recognizable and stand above many thrash acts as they have mastered some really tight and catchy mid-tempo thrash. The riffs are good and will make you want to bang your head as the whole performance is delivered in a very tight, dynamic and satisfying manner with a good number of leads. They unfortunately only released two albums, their second Violent by Nature being a little more mature and having a more complex songwriting than Socialized Hate.
