TRACKLIST:
Artist : Atrophy Country : USA Release : Violent By Nature [Remastered] Year : 1990 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
In the past, Atrophy struggled to find their own sound, and instead
elected to more or less imitate their influences. All that changed with
their second effort. Violent by Nature displays a band coming into a
sound and style all there own. The band remains talented, playing a
slightly technical brand of thrash, however this time around the band
sounds more concentrated and mature. The album displays more variation
with regards towards guitar solos and riffs, with some melodic guitar
intros and solos displayed on songs such as “Too Late to Change and
“Process of Elimination”. The band also chose to incorporate more
backing vocals into some of the tracks, unlike their debut album.
Production is also top notch, as the album has a clean, clear and loud
enough sound, and every instrument can be heard clearly.
