Atrophy

Hailing from Arizona, Atrophy fit right in with contemporaries such as Exodus and Forbidden, playing energetic, crunchy thrash on Socialized Hate (1988) and Violent By Nature (1990). A third album was in the works but never materialized, and by around 1992 they were done, though several of the guys continued playing a similar style in a band called Head Circus. In 2015 a mostly original lineup rematerialized and played for several years, but when vocalist Brian Zimmerman decided to quit, the remaining members forged on, eventually renaming themselves as Scars Of Atrophy. Zimmerman eventually recruited an all-new lineup in 2021 and may yet record again someday.
