This was their last album on [[Epitaph Records]] and the band switched to [[Atlantic Records]] before its release. ==Musical style== {{Expand-section|date=June 2008}} The album finds Bad Religion continuing the experimentation of its predecessor, ''[[Generator (album)|Generator]]'', introducing elements of [[country music|country]] and [[Folk music|folk]] on songs like "Man With a Mission", and "Struck a Nerve", the latter of which includes a guest vocal by [[Johnette Napolitano]] (of [[Concrete Blonde]]). "Man With a Mission" featured a slide guitar part over a standard punk guitar "gallop" ==Production and marketing== {{Expand-section|date=June 2008}} Like Bad Religion's albums up to ''Generator'', ''Recipe for Hate'' was recorded at [[Westbeach Recorders]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles, California|Hollywood, California]] in 1993.

During the recording of the album, [[Johnette Napolitano]] (of [[Concrete Blonde]]) and [[Eddie Vedder]] (of [[Pearl Jam]]) were invited to the studio to provide backing vocals on some of the songs. Napolitano's backing vocals can be heard on "Struck a Nerve", where she shouts "It struck a nerve!". Vedder also provided backing vocals on "[[American Jesus]]" and sings the second verse of "[[Watch it Die]]". ==Reception== {{Expand-section|date=June 2008}} ''Recipe for Hate'' was released on [[September 21]], [[1993]] and became the last Bad Religion album distributed via [[Epitaph Records]] before their return to the label in 2001.
