Violent by Nature was the second and final album from Arizona thrash metal band, Atrophy. It was released on Roadrunner Records – like its predecessor, Socialized Hate – in 1990. Again, the album was co-produced by prolific producer/engineer, Bill Metoyer. The band made the journey from Arizona to California to record it. They followed up with tours of the USA and Europe with the likes of Sacred Reich and Coroner, but shortly after, Chris Lykins left the band to pursue a medical school course and the band split up after Roadrunner Records lost confidence in the band because of the departure of one of its leading songwriters. [1] The model for the artwork is Richie Bujinowski (now Cavalera), who would later become Max Cavalera's adopted stepson and frontman of Incite.
