Additional notes
Vocalist Brian Zimmerman departed the band in 2020 following the European tour being cut short by COVID-19. The remaining members forged on, recruiting a new vocalist, and eventually changed their name to Scars of Atrophy. After a few months of inactivity, vocalist Brian began creating another version of the band, using the original name Atrophy, but with no other members that had been part of the band at a previous time.
Former guitarist Chris Lykins is now a medical doctor.
