Socialized Hate is 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 two years later by the band's second and final album to date, Violent By Nature (1990).
