History:
This band was formed in 1987 in Tuscon, Arizona as a lineup who would stay intact until their break-up in 1991. Before this very day the band had released two studio albums (Socialized Hate - 1988 and Violent By Nature - 1990). The reason they breaked-up was because of one of their guitarist at the time, Chris Lykins, decided he wanted to study Medicine at Yale University. But recently, in July 2015, it has been announced from their Facebook page (Source) that the band was formed back again, unfortunately without 3 of their former bandmates.

 

Recommended Material:
The band released two solid album with great songs in overall composed with nice technical riffs and solos. Overall, I prefer Socialized Hate over Violent By Nature, because of the better riffs compared to the second one in songs like Chemical Dependency, Killing Machine, Socialized Hate, Rest In Pieces and Urban Decay. But their second album is also really nice, with the higlights being Puppies And Friends, Right To Die and possibly others! (Did not listen to that album that much)
