Socialized Hate was the debut album from Arizona thrash metal band, Atrophy. It was released on Roadrunner Records in 1988 and follows two successful demo cassettes produced by the band the previous year. It was followed up in 1990 by the band's final album, Violent By Nature in 1990. The album was co-produced by prolific producer/engineer, Bill Metoyer, who became famous for his work on early Slayer albums and went on to produce a lot of the thrash metal material released in the 1980s and 1990s, mainly on Metal Blade Records. The band went on to tour the USA and Europe with the likes of Sacred Reich and Coroner.
