Recipe for Hate
Recipe for Hate is the seventh album by American punk rock band Bad Religion . It was released on the Californian independent record label Epitaph Records in 1993. It was released again on Atlantic Records after the band signed to that label.
Despite being released on a major label, Recipe for Hate initially received mixed reviews from music critics, who generally found it to be less impressive than Bad Religion's older albums, but it has gained a cult following in recent times. The album got the band's highest U.S. chart position to date, debuting at #14 on Billboard 's Heatseekers chart, and scored the radio hits "American Jesus " and "Struck a Nerve ".
