Displeased Records is working on re-releasing one of the most crucial thrash CDs in Metal History. That's right, Atrophy - Socialized Hate. They are also releasing Violent by Nature but I was never a huge fan of that release (No Offense guys). Their hasn't been any official word about the release date but I am gonna keep checking their website and I am also gonna contact them via email ... I'll keep ya posted!
